Any pianists?

I started a thread about this like a year ago but I can't be bothered to resurrect it :D

I'm at a loss for what to play, I'm almost finished with Beethoven's "pathetique" (couldn't be bothered with all of it, I'm just doing the first half, its more interesting :bowdown:)

Can anyone think of anything interesting to play around that level? I like dramatic stuff. Incidentally, about what grade IS the pathetique? I've only bothered with grade 5 (I hate scales etc.)

Thanks

Turkish March? Invention No. 11? Sorry if they're not what you're looking for, I'm more of a listener rather than a player ;)

Queen of Sheba was always one I found interesting, but it is a tad scale like. :)

So what happens when you reach the end of the bit you know? You just stop, get up, take a bow and walk off.....Sounds like that 1664 advert....

I can mess about with scales and jam a fair bit, but I never really took to learning sheet music. I have huge hands, which is useful.

They usually leave before then :lol:

I've did The Moonlight Sonata a few years backa nd I still play it. I love it. Same with Fur Elise except I don't play that all the time 'cos its really hard (I, unlike some, did it ALL). I shall look into (the more serious :p) suggestions.

Grieg Peer Gynt Suite, also the theme for Alton Towers Theme Park.

How about Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin?

My piano teacher says the Pathetique is about grade 8 - i'm playing it at the moment..

How about the third movement of Moonlight? or Flight of the BumbleBee?

I'm liking the sound of Flight of the BumbleBee :D. I wonder why I didn't think of that! Fantasie Impromptue gave me a headache (3 in one hand 4 in the other... REALLY FAST!)
