I recently made a little mental catalogue of my sheet music collection. Its an odd one. I've probably played less than .25% of the pieces in my collection, as I'm a terrible site reader, but I really want to dig into it some day. I have this compulsion to keep expanding, so after I've listed what I have, I'll list what I want to have.
-Tisdale's Virginal Book: A compilation of Elizebethan Keyboard Music by the likes of Dowland, Byrd, Bull, Tisdale(whoever he was), anonymous and so on. I like the set, its not so overwhelming like the Fitzwilliam book.
-An old compilation recently remade by my teacher on the website Lulu called Keyboard Music from the Baroque to the Roccoco: Its basically a good sampling of various composers from Byrd and Frescobaldi to Benda and CPE Bach, excluding Bach and Handel.
-A baroque compilation edited by Denis Agay: similar to the one above but not as extensive in obscure composers
-Scarlatti Sonatas edited by Ralph Kirkpatrick: a decent selection of Scarlatti Sonatas
-Another Scarlatti edition, not as good both in pieces, quantity, and editing
-Bach Keyboard transcriptions of various composers: about half of the transcriptions that Bach did of the likes of Vivaldi, Telemann, and others
-Bach Inventions and Sinfonia edited by Williard Palmer: has all the trills written in variou
-Complete Well Tempered Clavier: not sure which edition, but its really nice and has a white cover
-Bach French Suites
-Telemann complete Keyboard Fantasias: really like these pieces, very fun to play around with
-WF Bach complete sonatas: paper back but nice white cover, well edited
-CPE Bach sonatas with varied reprises, dover edition: really nice and playable set
-Several other CPE Bach sets
-Classical Period compilation edited by Dennis Agay
-Really skimpy collection of over edited Haydn sonatas in this one volume
-Complete Mozart sonatas, paperback
-A collection of Clementi sonatas: green paperback
-Clementi Gradus Ad Parnassum-custom edition from Lulu
-Beethoven Sonatas volume one
-Miscellaneous Beethoven pieces in one green volume: bagatelles, moonlight sonata, diabelli variations, pathetique, ect.
-Schubert piano pieces: moments musical, impromptus, stuff of the sort
-Schumann Kinderszenen: very edited edition
-Chopin: miscellaneous pieces in this volume, not the best of Chopin
-Liszt/Beethoven symphony transcriptions, 1-5: I don't know what I'm doing with this
-Brahms op. 10 Ballades
-Stephen Heller Preludes: cool composer, sort of like Chopin-lite
-Chabrier complete piano works: paperback
-Lyadov, I think its either the op. 39 or 40 set
-Eric Satie, complete Gnossienes
-Debussy, popular easier piano works
-Scriabin complete Poems
-Medtner complete skazki(fairy tales): you'd better believe it!
-Alexander Tcherepnin op. 5 Bagatelles
-And a few collections of popular classics throughout the repertoire
________________________________________________________________
And now for the works that I desire in approximately chronological order
-Carlos Seixas keyboard sonatas(I have my teacher to help me with this one)
-WF Bach Polonaises
-John Field Nocturnes
-Chopin Nocturnes
-Alkan, his lighter pieces
-Brahms op. 76, 79
-Balakirev piano pieces, miscellaneous, Mazurkas, and nocturnes
-Scriabin Mazurkas
-Faure nocturnes and barcarolles
-Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues
-Mompou: Canzion I Danza and others like it
Any help with editions of these works? Any recommendations based on my tastes and abilities?
