Piano Repertoire by Difficulty

OrSor Grade Composer Composition Main Technical Difficulty or Benefit Other Notes & Comments
485 2 Agay Four popular diversions Form & Rhythm More difficult than the one above, they are also more modern in idiom.
Blues Scales Each can be used both as repertory and as teaching material. Little
Syncopation prelude in Waltz time can be used to teach both about form and
rhythm, Baroque bounce likewise can be used to discuss what is
Baroque, Echoes of the blues introduces the blues scales, and
Ragtime doll is excellent for syncopation.
483 1 Agay Mysterious Procession Left Hand Melody This is for the total beginner, and can be taught on the very first lesson.
Sight Reading RH play a steady even ostinato using only the note E, while the left
Hand Independence hand plays the melody which consists only of ABC in different orders
Expressive Playing and simple rhythms. Excellent for sight-reading, for hand
independence, for expressive playing and for bringing up a melody on
the left hand. It can also be used as a seed for free improvisation.
484 2 Agay Petit Trianon suite These are ten easy pieces, each one covering a dance style on the
18th century. This is excellent for rhythm development and to introduce
the student to old dance patterns (which keep recurring on the piano
repertory). Excellent recital material for the beginners.
1270 8 Albniz Cdiz (saeta) 4th mvt from Suite Espaola no 1, Op 47
1271 8 Albniz En la Playa no 7 from Recuerdos de Viaje, Op 71
1272 8 Albniz Evocation From Iberia
1176 7 Albniz Rumores de la Caleta, Op 71/6
1177 7 Albniz Serenata, from 'Espaa', Op 165
486 2 Alderighi Signi Lieti 10 very easy, short pieces. The harmonies are traditional, the writing is
highly pianistic and they make up excellent recital material.
487 2 Alexandrow Pieces for Children The whole collection consists of 8 sets of short pieces for complete
beginners. If you are familiar with Kabalevskys pieces for children, this
is similar.
663 U Alkan Esquisses op. 63
1034 5 Alkan L'Homme aux Sabots Op.63 No.23
489 1 Alt Hot Noon in the Meadow Introduction to how chords devel Similar in difficulty to the above, this set of pieces uses modern
harmonies to tell stories, so it is a very good introduction to how and
why chords and intervals can elicit different emotions (for instance,
The spider uses tritons to build up suspense, and Bees and Flies
uses chromatic intervals to emulate buzzing).
488 1 Alt The Ocean Pattern Introduction A collection of 10 pieces for the complete beginner, most you can teach
at the first lesson. The interesting thing here is that they use the whole
keyboard and introduce patterns that frequently appear in the more
advanced pieces, so they are excellent preparatory pieces. Again very
good recital material for beginners.
490 2 Alt Where the palm tree grows Introduction to contemporary mus More difficult than the previous two, this is thoroughly contemporary
music - and let us face it, contemporary music is not the most
appealing to beginners but this is a good introduction since it is not

458 2 Bach Minuet in Am, BWV Anh. II 120 (anon.) Hand independence Another excellent 2 voice canonic work that will develop hand
independence and yet is easy enough for a beginner.
459 2 Bach Minuet in Cm, BWV Anh. II 121 (Anon.) Hauntingly beautiful slow minuet.
464 2 Bach Minuet in Dm, BWV Anh. II 132 (anon.) Hand independence Another very beautiful reflective minuet, which will develop hand
independence. From A Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach
461 2 Bach Minuet in G, (G. Bohm) Intro to counterpoint Another good introduction to counterpoint that is simple enough for any
beginner.
455 2 Bach Minuet in G, BWV Anh. 114 (C. Petzold) Ornamentation This minuet is meant to be played with the Minuet in Gm in ABA form
(minuet in G minuet in Gm minuet in G).
457 2 Bach Minuet in G, BWV Anh. II 116 (anon.) Intro to 2-voice inventions Excellent piece to introduce canon (round) writing. It is a perfect
introduction to 2 voice inventions which are far too difficult for a
456 2 Bach Minuet in Gm, BWV Anh. 115 (C. Petzold) Ornamentation beginner.
Beautiful lyrical minuet, reflective and slow. This minuet is meant to be
played with the previous one in ABA form (minuet in G minuet in Gm
minuet in G). For beginners omit the ornamentation. For more
advanced players there is a lot of scope for learning the art of
981 4 Bach Minuet no 1 in B minor ornamentation with these two pieces.
462 2 Bach Musette in D, BWV Anh. II 126(anon.) Skips Excellent piece for the virtuoso to be (very easy but impressive), with
Fast runs daring skips on the LH and fast runs on the RH. A favorite with kids.

466 2 Bach Prelude in C, BWV 846/I One of the few pieces in the notebook that is actually by Bach, this
prelude is the first prelude in the WTC book I.
467 2 Bach Prelude in C, BWV 924 A beautiful prelude based on broken triads, this is very easy (but not as
effective) if you omit the several ornaments. These can added later on
when the student has progressed enough.
468 2 Bach Prelude in C, BWV 939 Arpeggios An excellent study in arpeggios for both RH and LH and a great
introduction to question and answer writing. Only 16 bars long
982 4 Bach Prelude in F No 8 of 'Twelve Little Preludes'
469 2 Bach Prelude in Gm, BWV 999 Broken Triads For the budding virtuoso. Very effective at a fast speed, but equally
beautiful at a much slower tempo. The repetitive figuration in broken
triads make it an excellent exercise as well.

641 9 Barber Sonata op. 26 Extremely complex advanced work requiring the utmost pianism. This
sonata was written for Horowitz. Originally it had only the first three
movements, but Horowitz insisted that Barber write a flashy finale for it,
hence the - very difficult - fugue.
642 9 Barber Souvenirs op. 28
638 5 Barber Three Sketches (no. 1 - Love Song is a beautiful song without words) and his very
lyrical and nostalgic Nocturne which is written with modern harmonies
but following John Field's model.

Arpeggio melody and unusual harmony, very easy and yet it sounds very
Equalizing Hand Tone professional.
My favourite though is Secrets (also from op. 25) where arpeggio
figurations are divided between the hands so that they are (almost)
never together. Excellent exercise in equalizing the hands tone, and an
exquisite piece of music.
471 2 Beach Childrens Album op. 36 They are probably more suited to the later beginner (6 months one
year of lessons)

218 5 Beethoven Six Ecossaises in Eb major WoO 83 These are actually to be played as a single piece. This is a two page
affair (3 pages depending on the edition), and more advanced than the
other two (around grade 4/5). It sounds far more difficult.

254 6 Beethoven Sonata 02. Op. 49 no. 1 Op. 49/1 being far more musical (the rondo is a real gem). It is a bit
more difficult though. Both of these however are not quite full-fledged
sonatas (they were most likely composed as exercises for his

255 6 Beethoven Sonata 3. Op. 79 (Alla Tedesca) Why not stretch a bit and try Op. 79, which is a real sonata, and quite
beautiful (the second movement is wonderful). It is considered to be
around grade 7, but if you can manage grade 5 pieces, you can
282 8 Beethoven Sonata 30. Op. 109 manage grade 7.

493 2 Bowles Folk preludes Paul Frederick Bowles: These are really for intermediate students, but I

844 7 Chabrier Pieces Pitoresques Idylle - the RH is almost as busy as the LH in this delightful piece. The
LH mostly plays broken octaves, skipping over two octaves. Excellent
for skip accuracy. And it is a wonderful, hauntingly beautiful piece.

649 7 Gershwin Three Preludes I. Allegro ben ritmato e preciso Gershwin called this prelude Spanish. This is a fast virtuoso piece,
very good as an encore.
665 7 Gershwin Three Preludes II. Andante con moto e poco rubato Gershwin called this prelude a blues lullaby. Slow and slightly
lugubrious, it would make quite a good piece to play before an
666 7 Gershwin Three Preludes III. Allegro ben ritmato e preciso intermission.
This is my favourite of the three (and the most difficult).
645 U Ginastera Twelve American preludes Tonal music but with lots of chromaticism and strong rhythms. These
are all short pieces, good as encores.

795 5 Haydn Sonata XVI/08 in G major Unexpected skips (3rd Mvmt) Allegro (5) Menuet (2/3) Andante (2/3)- A wonderful slow and lyrical
Forearm rotation (4th mvmt) movement. Omit the ornaments for the early beginners. Very easy, but
Bass Melody (4th mvmt) due to the unexpected skips it teaches one to think ahead. Finalle:
Hand Swaps (4th mvmt) Allegro (2/3 or less) This is a fast exhilarating movement, very short,
very repetitive in its broken chord figurations. Excellent for forearm
rotation and bringing the bass melody over the mist of sound created
by the very fast RH. Hands swap figurations occasionally, so both
hands get a workout. If you hear this piece, you will not believe how
easy it is (around grade 1/2).
796 5 Haydn Sonata XVI/09 in F major Speed (3rd mvmt) Allegro (5) Menuet and Trio (4) Scherzo (2) For the budding virtuoso.
Accuracy (3rd mvmdt) Beginners can easily master this movement at slow speed. More
advanced beginners can start working on speed. Lots of
learning/practicing tricks can be learned as one studies this piece.
(How to work for speed, how to get accuracy, etc.)

213 8 Prokofiev 10 Pieces Op. 12 No. 06 No. 6 Legende Slow, lyrical piece, slightly reminiscent of Scriabin
214 8 Prokofiev 10 Pieces Op. 12 No. 07 No. 7 Prelude My favourite. A beautiful, magical piece with a fast
broken chord accompaniment creating a mist of sound around the right
hand melody. Very impressive (watch out for the glissandi!). This piece
was originally written for harp.
215 8 Prokofiev 10 Pieces Op. 12 No. 10 No. 10 Scherzo A wonderful show-off piece (probably too difficult,
but what the heck, I love it!) full of tension and nervous energy jumping
all over the keyboard.

Wonderfully tonal and yet very modern.
206 6 Prokofiev Music for Children Op. 65 No. 09 Playing tag a fast moto perpetuo requiring good finger agility.
207 5 Prokofiev Music for Children Op. 65 No. 12 The moon strolls in the Meadows This is my top favourite A

1132 6 Scarlatti Pastorale, Kp 446, L 433
188 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 001 (D minor - Allegro) This is actually a two voice invention. Fast and
delicate with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no
difficulty at all in the left hand. Difficult to play at full speed but easy if
played slowly (and still effective) Recorded by Ivo Pogorelich for DG.
749 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 003 (2:30).
(A minor - Presto) Electrical piece with ultra fast scale rushes. Looks
easy on the page, but wait until you try to play it up to tempo
767 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 008 (G minor Allegro) In spite of the tempo indication this is a slow, lyrical
sonata. Melancholic and intense.
725 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 013 (G major Presto) Fast and brilliant with a catchy, rhythmical theme on
repeated notes. One of my favourites.
750 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 014 (G major Presto) Looking for fast (very fast) scale runs interspersed
with a beautiful staccato melody? Look no further than this sparkling
751 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 020 gigue.
(E major Presto) Virtuosistic sonata that is the sort of expected
Scarlatti: guitar imitation, Spanish rhythms, fast scales in thirds,
repeated notes and lots of ornaments. Great show off piece. If you want
to develop a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this
726 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 024 sonata
(A majorinstead.
- Allegro) Virtuoso piece alternating relatively calm sections
with dazzling scale runs.
737 5 Scarlatti (F# minor Allegro) A not too fast, beautiful two voice invention that
moves in a relentless way with one of the most beautiful motifs of all
sonatas. Crossing hands. Broken chords figuration in both hands.
Sonata K 025 Harmonically adventurous and mood setting. A masterpiece.
738 8 Scarlatti (B minor Allegro) This is my all time favourite Scarlatti sonata. A
masterpiece. Surprisingly romantic, could very well have been
composed by someone like Schubert. Very untypical Scarlatti. Achingly
Sonata K 027 beautiful melody. Arpeggio figurations and lots of crossing hands.
768 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 030 (G minor - Moderato) A beautiful and complex fugue.
174 3 Scarlatti Sonata K 032 Interpretation/Expression (D minor Aria) Lyrical sonata much easier than it sounds. Slow and
melancholic. Although just one page long it requires some musical
maturity to be truly effective. This is an ideal piece to open a recital,
since it is slow and introspective it will calm you down. This is a real
gem. Only 24 bars long, technically unchallenging (grade 3), and yet
one of the most beautiful sonatas. Slow paced and exuding tranquillity,
this reflective piece is the best of the four.
175 4 Scarlatti Sonata K 034 A slow thoughtful piece, only 28 bars long
197 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 039 (A major Allegro) Fast and furious, full of nervous energy. Excellent
for waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both
hands. Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece.
Equally effective at a slower tempo.
176 3 Scarlatti Sonata K 040 A nice minuet only a page long (24 bars) amongst the easiest of
Scarlatti pieces
752 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 043 (G minor Allegrissimo) Ferocious and virtuosistic sonata.
194 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 046 (E major Presto) This one of my favourite fast sonatas. As the
Cheyene Indians found of saying it makes my heart soar like a hawk.
One of the most catchy motifs amongst all sonatas it makes one wish
to dance and jump for joy. This is amazing music.
739 7 Scarlatti (D minor Andante moderato) Wonderful sonata, lyrical and
devotional, uplifting and tranquil. Written (mostly) in 3-voice
Sonata K 052 counterpoint. Another masterpiece.
189 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 054 (A minor Allegro) After a typical plaintive start in A minor, it suddenly
displays a most romantic theme. Very unusual sonata. The main
difficulty is to be found in the several bars where the hands cross.
There are some thirds and sixths but they are easily negotiable.
727 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 063 (G major Allegro) Also known as Capriccio, this is celebratory, joyful
and uplifting music that is much easier to play than it sounds. An all
time favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fits the hand surprisingly
753 6 Scarlatti Sonata k 064 well.
(D minor Allegro) A determined and energetic gavotte, one of
Scarlattis most played and well known pieces.
728 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 067 (F# minor Allegro) Toccatta like, this is a fast, dazzling sonata ideal
for an encore. One of my favourites.
190 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 069 (F minor) My favourite amongst the slow, lyrical sonatas, this is a
hauntingly beautiful piece with a complex polyphonic texture difficult
to read but easy to play. Spend sometime analysing its structure before
tackilng it at the piano. A masterpiece.
178 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 070 (Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding
on the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and
hand independence.
769 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 077 (D minor Moderato e cantabile minuet) Painfully nostalgic and
evocative lyrical sonata followed by a lively minuet. A masterpiece.
740 7 Scarlatti (B minor - Andante ) Intensely lyrical work of great musical depth.
Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite
Sonata K 087 Scarlatti sonata.
754 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 096 (D major Allegro) Another typical Scarlatti sonata (similar to the
overplayed K 380). Richly textured. It has everything in it: Horn calls,
fast repeated notes, trills, suspensions, cross relations, parallel fifths,
big leaps, scale runs and guitar imitations.
729 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 098 (E minor Alegrissimo) Wonderful study in rhythm with unexpected
developments, suspensions and syncopations.
770 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 099 (C minor - ) A beautiful , tranquil and lyrical sonata that grows in
emotional intensity as it develops.
771 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 109 (A minor Adagio) Beautiful lyrical writing in three and four part
couterpoint. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the
intermediate player.
772 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 112 (Bb major - Allegro) A beautiful, lyrical sonata. Crossing hands.
730 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 119 (D major Allegro) Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of
the common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords,
arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive
watch out for the castanet sounds! - sonata has a very catchy,
dancing motif. One of my favourites.
755 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 120 (D minor Allegro) A fast sonata full of nervous energy, this is the cross
hand piece to end all cross hand pieces! Leaping bass figures, double
notes in both hands. Unusual and difficult.
731 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 123 (Eb major Allegro) Joyful and uplifting.
756 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 124 (G major Allegro) Tired of practising arpeggios? Try this sonata
instead. A breezy arpeggio study with very fast triplet semiquavers.
Uplifting and extroverted. Go and jump on a lake, Hanon!.
732 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 125 (G major Vivo) This non-stop sonata will not allow you to catch your
breath! Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a
recital on a high note. If you are looking for a Czerny alternative look
no further: it is a study for the left hand plus repeated notes, broken
thirds, sixths and octaves. Also good practice for quick adjustments.
191 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 132 (C major Cantabile )A slow (well, sort of) A lyrical sonata with
beautiful lush harmonies, haunting dissonances and arpeggios that are
suddenly interrupted by a heart wrenching delicate melody based on
repeated notes. One of my all time favourites.
733 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 135 (E major Allegro) Dazzling finger work alternating with slow episodes
in 4-voice counterpoint. Catchy and uplifiting.
185 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 141 (D minor Allegro) A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated
notes over long stretches. Broken chords and skips. Virtuosic with
dissonant guitar strumming in the left hand and lots of cross hands.
Excellent as a study replacement.
179 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 146 (G major Allegretto) 3/8 A nice little menuet full of humour and
light. Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it
sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands.
773 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 147 (E minor Lento) A beautiful lyrical and reflective sonata.
757 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 162 (E major - Andante) After a slow, lyrical beginning all hell breaks loose,
and a fast, dazzling sonata ensues with occasional returns to the slow
theme.
758 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 175 (A minor Allegro) A vigorous impulsive sonata with most of the
finger work on the right hand. The left hand (which demands a hand
span covering at least an octave) plays sonorous chords and tone
clusters with up to ten notes! imitating the strumming of a guitar.
This Sonata was composed in 1752. Here Scarlatti succeeds in making
conventional harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary
for the period. The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and
bravura. Musically, the guitar-like sounds of the left hand chords are
particularly fascinating.
774 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 193 (E flat major - Allegretto) A beautiful, lyrical sonata not too slow.
741 7 Scarlatti (B minor - Andante) Sonata in a lyric, cantabile style, moderately
Sonata K 197 flowing. Expansive, sonorous qualities.
180 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 198 (E minor Allegro) A masterpiece. Dramatic and powerful, this 2
voice invention (with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of
the second part) is still effective at a slower tempo. One of my
196 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 201 Arpeggios favourites.
K201 is also excellent to replace technical exercises dealing with
Thirds arpeggions and thirds
742 5 Scarlatti (E minor 3/8) Beautiful sonata with most of the figurations on one
hand at a time. An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata
together. Unusual syncopations. Requires a sizeable hand span and
Sonata K 203 accurate skips in some of the figurations.
181 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 208 (A major Andante e cantabile) Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly
beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and
luminous, this is a masterpiece.
775 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 209 (A major Allegro) Uplifiting sonata, not too fast.
192 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 213 (D minor - Andante ) Another of my favourites amongst the lyrical
sonatas. A slow, full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity
up to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to.
776 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 215 (E major Andante) Sudden shifts of key abound in this sonata.
182 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 239 (F minor - Allegro ) An excellent dance piece full of Spanish rhythms.
743 6 Scarlatti (C# minor Allegro) Beautiful lyrical sonata (slightly reminiscent of K
69) with a weaving three voice counterpoint. Enharmonic modulations
Sonata K 247 and movement into remote keys. A masterpiece.
777 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 259 (G major Andante) A two and three voice invention. Lyrical and
tranquil. Slightly reminiscent of K 208.
778 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 318 (F# major Andante) An unusual key that suggests that Scarlatti was
familiar with equal temperament tuning. A lyrical and calm sonata.
779 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 322 (Amajor - Allegro ) A delicate, joyful sonata with a Mozartian flavour.
734 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 342 (A major Allegro) Dazzling and fast, this baroque prelude style
sonata has most of its impressive finger work in the right hand.
Excellent for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier
than it sounds. Great fun to play.
759 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 373 (G minor Presto a fugato) Wonderful sonata with scales (some
chromatic) alternating hands over the whole extent of the keyboard.
780 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 381 (E major Allegro) This beautiful two-voice invention is excellent for
finger and hand co-ordination and independence. A most beautiful
melody on the second part.
735 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 386 (F minor - ) Another sonata full of brilliance, with fast scales and
compelling harmonic progressions.
193 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 402 (E minor Andante) One of my favourites slow sonatas. Harmonically
advanced and elaborate at seven pages is one of the longest
sonatas - this is a masterful sonata with a superb central melody.
Reflective and spiritual.
744 4 Scarlatti Sonata K 404 (A major) Beautiful lyrical sonata and technically undemanding.
736 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 405 (A major Allegro) Based on a Spanish Buleria (a kind of Tarantella).
Technically undemanding.
760 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 406 (C major Allegro). This is joyful music that makes you want to skip
and jump and dance! This is the kind of music that makes you smile for
hours after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your
trills and glissando-like scales.
761 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 421 (C major Allegro) One of my favourites, this is a brilliant and dazzling
sonata with plenty of repeated notes. It is said to represent children
running through the streets of Madrid.
781 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 426 (G minor Andante) Another beautiful lyrical sonata, deeply reflective
and tranquil, and not at all melancholic. Rich textures and highly
musical. Very good as a study in long phrases. Sudden dramatic
195 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 427 silences.
(G major Prestissimo) Wonderfully exhilarating sonata, both to play
and to listen to. The tempo direction (as fast as possible) gives you an
idea of what to expect. A really electric and uplifting work requiring
pianism of the utmost degree. Has a recurring motif that is incredibly
joyful and catchy. My favourite fast sonata. (But only if you play it at top
speed. It is still effective at lower speeds).
782 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 429 (A major - Allegro) Lyrical and gently lilting sonata. Counterpoint in
three and four parts.
177 3 Scarlatti Sonata K 431 A delightful baroque prelude style piece with a fast right hand in
arpeggio triplet figurations while the left hand provides a melody in
minims and crochets. Although this should be played fast, it is still
effective if use a slower tempo. Just 16 bars.
745 7 Scarlatti (D major - Allegro ) One of my all time favourites, After a rhythmic
introduction characteristic of Spanish dances, a most gentle and
Sonata K 443 evocative melody develops. Repeated notes.
784 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 446 (F major - Pastorale: Allegrissimo) In spite of the tempo direction this is
a relatively slow sonata, lyrical and reflexive.
762 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 454 (G major Andante spirituoso) After a calm opening and nice little folk-
like tune this sonata goes onto a breathless sequence of scurrying
scales and broken chords over the entire length of the keyboard on
both hands. Unexpected changes. Good Czerny replacement and
746 5 Scarlatti warm-up
(C major piece.
Allegro) A beautiful sonata full of guitar sounds and Spanish
Sonata K 461 nostalgia. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second
186 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 466 part.
(F minor Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical
sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits
tranquillity and peacefulness rather than melancholy and grief.
Excellent for developing rhythm awareness of triplets versus quavers. It
763 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 470 alsomajor
(G has 3 against 2. Starts with determined, percussive chords,
Allegretto)
which are followed by a fast figuration of great delicacy equally shared
between the hands. Good Czerny replacement and warm up. Fast and
dazzling this sonata exudes confidence.
747 8 Scarlatti (D major Andante cantabile) Beautiful lyrical sonata (and one of the
Sonata K 478 longest). Uses the whole keyboard.
183 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 481 (F minor Andante e cantabile) Introspective, delicate and lyrical this
could be an ideal choice for opening a recital. And if you need a study
in phrasing and legato this sonata is for you!
764 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 487 (C major Allegro) A percussive sonata, full of zest and unresolved
dissonances that make it sound brittle and sharp. Difficult octave leaps
on the left hand.
783 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 491 (D major Allegro) Rhythmical percussive beginning followed by a
romantic arpeggiated section (not unlike a Schubert impromptu) with a
most pleasing melody. A masterpiece.
765 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 502 (C major Allegro) Inventive sonata with many original musical ideas.
Starts lively in 3/8 and modulates to G minor to end the first half in G
major. On the second part changes meter to 2/4 and returns to 3/8 at
the end. Dotted figuration, including dotted rests.
184 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 511 (D major Allegro) A masterpiece. This is a 2 voice invention with the
figurations equally distributed between the hands. Urgent and dramatic
it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are
766 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 513 minimal.
(C major Pastorale: Moderato Molto allegro Presto) One of the
few sonatas written in different movements (tempos). Shepherd pipes
and bagpipes drones are imitated. The final movement (presto) is
exhilarating and virtuosic. This Pastorale was composed in 1756 during
Scarlatti's late period. It recalls the piping of the shepherds who came
down into Rome from the surrounding hills at Christmas time. They
begin in a moderate tempo, the drone of their bagpipes is heard in a
quicker section, and finally they celebrate in a joyful Presto.
187 8 Scarlatti Sonata K 517 (D minor Prestissimo 2/2) Another fast and furious sonata that can
easily replace any technical study. With a typical baroque figuration
shared by both hands, this one is ideal for scales, broken chords and
close position passage work, and excellent for finger independence
and dexterity. Intense, urgent and relentless.
748 5 Scarlatti (Bb major Cantabile) A beautiful aria, this lyrical sonata is a real
Sonata K 544 gem. With occasional 4-voice couterpoint it has dignified, overlapping
785 7 Scarlatti Sonata K 546 phrases.
(G minor) Written in 2 and 3 parts, this is another lyrical, melancholic
sonata with a beautiful, flowing melody. Recorded by Benjamin Frith for
Naxos.
786 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 547 (G major Allegro) Lively and imposing sonata with a beautiful
recurring motif. Two voice invention (with an occasional third voice)
equally shared between hands. Effective at a slower tempo. Great

626 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 03 Beautiful lyrical writing, in an impressionist style. Starts like nocturne,
and near the end has a noisy passage.
627 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 05 Allegro vivace. Very fast, reminds me of a Czerny exercise for the right
hand (maybe Shostakovitch was making a parody here, similar to
Debussys Dr. Gradus)
628 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 06 Very funny polka style with all you could expect from modern music:
dissonances, big jumps, sudden changes of key, bitonality, wrong-note
writing.
629 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 09 A fast tarantella-like piece.
630 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 10 Another beautiful lyrical piece with a nice melody and not so dissonant
as the others.
631 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 12 Allegro non troppo - If no. 5 was Czerny for the right hand, this is for
the left hand. The right hand crosses over frequently. Not as dissonant
as the others. Fast LH figurations (not dissimilar to Czerny) in a moto
perpetuo setting. Modern harmonies and wrong note writing.
632 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 14 Arguably the best of the set, very lugubrious, making full use of the
pianos orchestral sounds. Actually I read somewhere that Stokowski
made an orchestral version of this prelude (I havent heard it though).
633 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 15 A very nice waltz, with the typical waltz accompaniment first on the right
hand, then on the left. Very jolly.
634 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 16 Another humorous piece, march-like, with lots of wrong-note writing.
635 U Shostakovic Prelude Op. 34 No. 17 A lyrical slow piece.
