Question: What are good classical pieces for ages 10-14 on piano!?
I've been playing the piano for five months already (so far) and I want to play some good classical pieces!. I'm in level 2!. I could already play Fur Elise and The Entertainer!. Any suggestions!? Thanks!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
You could maybe try the first movement of "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven!. It's beautiful!. It's in common time too! Oh, and it's easy to memorize! Hope you try it, good luck!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Mozart minuets, and if you're feeling ambitious you could try Variations on Ah! je dirais-vous maman!.
Beethoven Landler or Bagatelles
Chopin etudes
Bach inventions
Schubert waltzes
Any of the numerous "for Children" albums by such composers as Bartok, Schumann, Khatchachurian, etc!.
Tcherepnin Bagatelles
Scriabin "Album Leaf" if you're good with complex rhythms
There are plenty of Baroque dances (Giga or Gigue, etc) and dance suites by composers such as Bach, Couperin, Handel
Passacaglia by Handel
Those suggestions ought to get you to level 2!. I agree on holding off on the sonatas until level 4!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Get The Bach's Anamagdalena book!.It has quit a few simple and beautiful pieces in it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
What about Bach's "Prelude in C Major"!? (from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I - not the fugue, but the prelude)
I am amazed at how often I hear it as background music in movies!. It should be easy enough to play and not too hard to memorize - if you wanted to!.
The link below has MP3 files from different artists, to see if you like it (and slightly different styles of playing it), plus PDF files of the music itself - so you don't have to buy it!.
I also agree with the "Moonlight Sonata", but only in the original key!. Any other "watered-down" version is not worth the effort - or the hearing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Have a look at that, especially Moonlight Sonata!. That's in a different key signature, and one or two levels higher than you, but I think that it is simple enough to play!.
