Hi there :)

This is the first time I post on this forum, so please forgive me if I'm not obeying any house rules!

I'm looking for my next piano piece (as a soloist) to contrast Rachmaninoff's C sharp prelude for an upcoming competition. Any suggestions? (Preferable baroque)

Also, please suggest other pieces (romantic) that I would enjoy (preferably on the same playing level as the C sharp prelude).

Thanks a million!

Regards,
Newbie

Whatever it is, if presented back to back, please choose:
The same key (enharmonic Db is O.K.)
The parallel Major
or... something a major or minor third away, preferable to a fourth or fifth away from C#

Programming, it seems, now fumbles in this area of key choice, where it used to be considered as much 'a part of the plan' as the genre / mood shift from one piece to the next.

Whatever level the competition, you've chosen one "Chestnut" already -- though playing it very well makes up for a lot of that. Do Not choose a second too often played piece to pair with it.

Oh, and Break a Leg :)
