Traumerei already proposed several months ago on this site, and therefore is to be discarded, even if listening to it again now I would have played it differently. The pieces proposed by Piccinesco and antares86 both please me; now I will decide and let you know

?

Or if you want, I can quote Messiaen for you

«J’aime Chopin, en tant que compositeur-pianiste et aussi en tant que coloriste, car, pour
moi c’est un très grand coloriste. Parce qu’il a seulement écrit pour le piano, faut-il mettre
dans une petite boîte?» … «Evidenment, j’aime Debussy, je l’ai toujours aimé. J’aime aussi
l’écriture de certaines pages de Ravel…»
"I love Chopin, both as a composer-pianist and as a colorist, because for me he is a very great colorist. Because he only wrote for the piano, must he be confined to a small box?"... "Obviously I love Debussy, I have always loved him. I also love certain pages by Ravel."
[sAMUEL, C. (1998), cit., p. 191]

Maybe you can dig deeper into the sense of being a colorist

I have the book, I have it... but you see, the students are a little biased, starting with Mikuli ahahah

But I'm not saying that one cannot identify the piano with Chopin... (I would identify it just as much with Liszt) I'm only saying that there are... over 200 years of music for piano excluding the 1900s, but one could easily integrate it... I would only wish not to study only Chopin ahahahahah (and I have excluded all pre-1700 music, but it could be included quite easily starting from Frescobaldi)

I chose Grieg's Arietta for a change, maybe Chopin later on.

Thanks to everyone

I'm arriving late. But Schumann's first Kinderszenen?

It is not demanding and is very pleasant.

Hi Stefanus, you are significantly late, I am almost finished with Craig; Kinderszenen No. 1 could be the next one, I like it a lot too, as well as No. 10 "Fast zu ernst". We shall see, better not to bite off more than we can chew
