Mark Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I would like to ask you what pieces you would recommend that come under this genre. This could include works by Chopin, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Grieg, and anyone else you can think of :) Some of my personal favourites: Grieg - "The Watchman's Song" Chopin - "Prelude in E Major" If anyone could recommend any that would be particularly good for studying chromatic harmony that would be most excellent ;) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chodelkovzart Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 impromptu no 3 in G flat major by Chopin is a pretty piece. not super duper chromatic, but definitely worth studying/playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all the things you are Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Brahms Intermezzo, op. 118 n. 2!! Not that chromatic, but worth some close listening. Moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chodelkovzart Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 most things by Chopin are really nice romantic miniatures. "arietta" and "rememberances" by Grieg are nice too. (they sound really similar.) Brahms' waltzes are really short and nice. some of the Songs without Words by Mendelssohn are very pretty sounding.

J.Br. Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Scriabin's C# minor prelude (op. 8 no. 12) I think you mean the D# minor etude, and that whole set is really, really good. No. 10 in Db uses some chromaticism, some of Scriabin's middle-period piano pieces (around op.40) have some "Wagnerisms" and stuff in them, before he went semi-atonal. The late Brahms pieces: the sets of intermezzi and the op. 119 4 piano pieces are absolutely brilliant, Scriabin and Chopin miniatures are fanatastic: preludes, etudes, poems, etc. These aren't romantic but the second set of Beethoven Bagatelles are really ingenius, inventive and beautiful pieces. Rachmaninoff's best pieces are his short pieces: his preludes, his etudes-tableux etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
