I have been playing piano for a number of years, and am mostly self-taught. Mostly I’ve been playing chords+melody, but I’ve been learning “easy” pieces that I know already recently. Now I am looking for pieces that are within reach. For now I can (relatively comfortably) play

Does anyone have any suggestions that doesn’t give me a too steep learning curve?

If you google the ABRSM Syllabus they will include a list of pieces for each grade. They publish their own books with selected pieces and the syllabus will tell you where to find anything not in the main book. Grade 1 is the easiest

Florence Launay and I made this edition for you: Armande de Polignac, Preludes for Piano.

There’s a lovely recording of these pieces by Stéphanie Humeau on the album Armande de Polignac: Melodies & préludes pour piano, which you can find on your favourite streaming service.

Post your piano/keys stuff here. Ripping some Chopin, Beethoven, Bartok, or whoever? Love it. Just got a new Hammond and rotary speaker and want to show it off? Can’t get enough of it. Got a band with a really awesome keyboardist, and want to show them off? Gimme it. Stuck in the orchestra pit with nothing to do for three hours waiting for your one moment of celesta glory on The Magic Flute? I feel your pain. Just discovered Oscar Peterson and want to share your astonishment? Fam, same. Learning piano and got noob questions? I’m here for it. Got an original DX7 and want to show us all how to program new voices? I’ve actually never figured that out, can you teach me too?

Rules:

  1. Don’t be a jerk.
  2. Self-promotion is encouraged, but try to also post stuff that isn’t you.
  3. Be cool about giving and receiving feedback. When in doubt, see r1.
  4. Having fun is mandatory.
