Some of the beautiful pieces featured in my Measure by Measure lessons
(you can attend the workshop no matter what music you're into, but this is a quick vibe check)
Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia
This piece is a transcription of a piece written for Violin and Viola by GF Handel. Halvorsen arranged it for piano and it's one of the most beautiful "Passacaglia". What makes it great is the opportunity to build a theme over a repeated left hand pattern, which also prepares you for music with challenging left-hand, like works by Chopin and other romantic composers.
Flotow: Prayer from the Opera "Stradella"
This prayerful melody gives you the chance to practice balancing between the hands, shaping a phrase in the right hand, and controlling a left hand accompaniment. Not only will you learn great skills, you'll sound beautiful in the process.
Moniuszko - Chimes from the Opera "The Haunted Manor"
Opera transcriptions often provide excellent music for beginner and early-intermediate students because it was composed with the intention of telling a story. While most of the well-known piano composers wrote most of their pieces in well-known forms (like Sonatas), they don't exactly spark the feeling of a story. Imaginative playing can come from many places, but I love pieces like this that showcase a relatable enchanted vibe.
Heller, Op. 138 No. 19 - Tziganyi
Inspired by Hungarian folk music, Stephan Heller composed many short pieces that are beautiful, fun to play, and teach amazing piano skills. Playing music like this before trying to tackle Liszt, Chopin, or Scriabin is a must.
