Suggestions for my sheet music collection? Particular desires and picky tastes
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?

I think you need more Schumann and the second volume of Beethoven Sonatas.
Wow, you have Mompou in your collection? If you're not a good sight reader but like sounding profound, see if you can hunt down Mompou's Musica Callada.
Tried those a while back and they didn't click enough, but now I think they'd interest me tremendously, thanks for the reminder!Wow, you have Mompou in your collection? If you're not a good sight reader but like sounding profound, see if you can hunt down Mompou's Musica Callada.
But excepting the Sonatine, Ravel is so hard! But sure, I think I can make room for Ravel, he's suits my snobby alternative aims much better than Debussy.I think you need some Ravel.
There were some Schumann pieces I really liked a while ago that were not Kreisleriana or Carnival, not nearly as hard. Do you have any recommendations in Schumann for pieces apart from those two I just mentioned?I think you need more Schumann and the second volume of Beethoven Sonatas.
As for Beethoven, my teacher has been nagging at me to acquire this essential.
A volume of Chopin preludes, nocturnes and waltzes. Or for the more advanced reader Mazurkas and Polonaises.
A henle full collection of Haydn sonatas. A lot of these sonatas are easy to read AND world-class music.

Only 1/4 of a percent? You must have loooads!I've probably played less than .25% of the pieces in my collection
Yes, I am supposed to be working and am just wasting time...
The implication is either that I have a lot, or that I just suck at sight reading and have only been able to go through a handful of my pieces. Getting better all the time though, as the Beatles say.Only 1/4 of a percent? You must have loooads!
I'll go for the Haydn eventually, but the thing is, I don't want to touch any Chopin but the nocturne form anytime soon. Its not that I dislike Chopin, its just that I'd rather play other music. That is, unless there is a Chopin piece I just fall in love with.A volume of Chopin preludes, nocturnes and waltzes. Or for the more advanced reader Mazurkas and Polonaises.

Buy full edition of my works for piano. I'm the only distributor. We'll come to an agreement as to price.
Album für die Jugend?There were some Schumann pieces I really liked a while ago that were not Kreisleriana or Carnival, not nearly as hard. Do you have any recommendations in Schumann for pieces apart from those two I just mentioned?
Well, I'm thinking a little more difficult and substantial than that actually.Album für die Jugend?
What do you think of Klavierstucke?
No Tchaikovsky? Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony is a definite must-have!

That's an orchestral score Kopa!?! I don't have too many of those. But I do have the score to the Polish Symphony.No Tchaikovsky?
Ah, here Klavierspieler is a representation of the Schumann set I want
