Form & RhythmBlues ScalesSyncopation

More difficult than the one above, they are also more modern in idiom. Each can be used both as repertory and as teaching material. “Little prelude in Waltz time” can be used to teach both about form and rhythm, “Baroque bounce” likewise can be used to discuss what is “Baroque”, “Echoes of the blues” introduces the blues scales, and “Ragtime doll” is excellent for syncopation.

Left Hand MelodySight ReadingHand IndependenceExpressive Playing

This is for the total beginner, and can be taught on the very first lesson. RH play a steady even ostinato using only the note E, while the left hand plays the melody which consists only of ABC in different orders and simple rhythms. Excellent for sight-reading, for hand independence, for expressive playing and for bringing up a melody on the left hand. It can also be used as a seed for free improvisation.

These are ten easy pieces, each one covering a dance style on the 18th century. This is excellent for rhythm development and to introduce the student to old dance patterns (which keep recurring on the piano repertory). Excellent recital material for the beginners.

10 very easy, short pieces. The harmonies are traditional, the writing is highly pianistic and they make up excellent recital material.

The whole collection consists of 8 sets of short pieces for complete beginners. If you are familiar with Kabalevsky’s pieces for children, this is similar.

Similar in difficulty to the above, this set of pieces uses modern harmonies to tell stories, so it is a very good introduction to how and why chords and intervals can elicit different emotions (for instance, “The spider” uses tritons to build up suspense, and “Bees and Flies” uses chromatic intervals to emulate buzzing).

A collection of 10 pieces for the complete beginner, most you can teach at the first lesson. The interesting thing here is that they use the whole keyboard and introduce patterns that frequently appear in the more advanced pieces, so they are excellent preparatory pieces. Again very good recital material for beginners.

More difficult than the previous two, this is thoroughly contemporary music - and let us face it, contemporary music is not the most appealing to beginners – but this is a good introduction since it is not too radically contemporary.

Scale fragmentsAlberti patternsBroken arpeggiosVery good for finger articulation/ independence.

This has to be the first sonatina to be learned. Grown ups may not find it so useful, but for the below 10 is a great repertory. The second movement is the easiest, but also dull. The first and third movements are excellent.

227 6 Bach Giga from Partita no. 1

Another excellent 2 voice canonic work that will develop hand independence and yet is easy enough for a beginner.

Another very beautiful reflective minuet, which will develop hand independence. From A Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach

This minuet is meant to be played with the Minuet in Gm in ABA form (minuet in G – minuet in Gm – minuet in G).

Excellent piece to introduce canon (round) writing. It is a perfect introduction to 2 voice inventions which are far too difficult for a beginner.

Beautiful lyrical minuet, reflective and slow. This minuet is meant to be played with the previous one in ABA form (minuet in G – minuet in Gm – minuet in G). For beginners omit the ornamentation. For more advanced players there is a lot of scope for learning the art of ornamentation with these two pieces.

SkipsFast runs

Excellent piece for the virtuoso to be (very easy but impressive), with daring skips on the LH and fast runs on the RH. A favorite with kids.

One of the few pieces in the notebook that is actually by Bach, this prelude is the first prelude in the WTC book I.

A beautiful prelude based on broken triads, this is very easy (but not as effective) if you omit the several ornaments. These can added later on when the student has progressed enough.

An excellent study in arpeggios for both RH and LH and a great introduction to question and answer writing. Only 16 bars long

For the budding virtuoso. Very effective at a fast speed, but equally beautiful at a much slower tempo. The repetitive figuration in broken triads make it an excellent exercise as well.

Almost forgotten these days and almost never played, his sonatas are real gems. Again, all of the sonatas are around grade 7-8, so you should be able to manage. I particularly like w62 in G.

Only 16 bars long, this beautiful aria can be easily learned by a beginner and then be used at a later stage to teach improvised ornamentation.

Extremely complex – advanced work requiring the utmost pianism. This sonata was written for Horowitz. Originally it had only the first three movements, but Horowitz insisted that Barber write a flashy finale for it, hence the - very difficult - fugue.

(no. 1 - Love Song is a beautiful song without words) and his very lyrical and nostalgic Nocturne which is written with modern harmonies but following John Field's model.

WaltzArpeggioEqualizing Hand Tone

Pierrot & Pierrette (from op. 25) is a wonderful waltz with a beautiful melody and unusual harmony, very easy and yet it sounds very “professional”.My favourite though is “Secrets” (also from op. 25) where arpeggio figurations are divided between the hands so that they are (almost) never together. Excellent exercise in equalizing the hands tone, and an exquisite piece of music.

These are one-page very easy pieces (grade 1) that Beethoven most likely wrote as pedagogical material for is pupils.

These are actually to be played as a single piece. This is a two page affair (3 pages depending on the edition), and more advanced than the other two (around grade 4/5). It sounds far more difficult.

Op. 49/1 being far more musical (the rondo is a real gem). It is a bit more difficult though. Both of these however are not quite full-fledged sonatas (they were most likely composed as exercises for his students).

Why not stretch a bit and try Op. 79, which is a real sonata, and quite beautiful (the second movement is wonderful). It is considered to be around grade 7, but if you can manage grade 5 pieces, you can manage grade 7.

ArpeggiosHand crossing

Exhilarating and athletic piece with fast arpeggios divided between the hands and hand crossings on the second part. This is a one-movement sonatina (only 49 bars long) that sounds much more difficult than it actually is.

A one movement sonata that although supposedly in B minor is actually a chromatic work. Once you get used to it, it is very beautiful and lyrical.

Bloch composed a set of ten very interesting pieces called Enfantines, for his daughters. They are not for beginners though, except the first one, which may be tackled by a late beginner (6 months – 1 year of lessons):

Legato playingCantabile

Impressionistic writing, this is a very expressive piece that allows for the introduction of several concepts: Modes (the piece is written in the Aeolian mode), legato playing (the piece requires that one finger be held while the other fingers of the same hand play the melody above it), cantabile.

Paul Frederick Bowles: These are really for intermediate students, but I could not resist including it. These are excellent arrangements of classical American folk tunes. Truly enchanting pieces.

Idylle - the RH is almost as busy as the LH in this delightful piece. The LH mostly plays broken octaves, skipping over two octaves. Excellent for skip accuracy. And it is a wonderful, hauntingly beautiful piece.

Gershwin called this prelude a “blues lullaby”. Slow and slightly lugubrious, it would make quite a good piece to play before an intermission.

Tonal music but with lots of chromaticism and strong rhythms. These are all short pieces, good as encores.

955 3 Handel Air, B175/42

The melody is in the LH while the RH accompanies with syncopated chords. Excellent for teaching how to voice between the hands.

Beautiful piece with the accompaniment equally divided between both hands and the melody played with fingers 4-5 of the RH. Excellent preparation for similar figuration in the more advanced repertory (e.g. Mendelssohn’s Song without words op. 19 no.1). Although easy, it is for the late beginner.

Beautiful chorale in three voices, will prepare for four voice chorales. Very easy. From here, go to the one below.

Four-part HarmonyBring out upper voice

Very light, with a fast RH going through a circular semiquaver pattern. Very good to develop the inflection of short melodic motifs. For the budding virtuoso.

A very nice waltz with just 16 bars (two 8-bar phrases). Good for learning how to contrast the grazioso section with the scherzo section.

Allegro (5) Menuet (2/3) Andante (2/3)- A wonderful slow and lyrical movement. Omit the ornaments for the early beginners. Very easy, but due to the unexpected skips it teaches one to think ahead. Finalle: Allegro (2/3 or less) This is a fast exhilarating movement, very short, very repetitive in its broken chord figurations. Excellent for forearm rotation and bringing the bass melody over the mist of sound created by the very fast RH. Hands swap figurations occasionally, so both hands get a workout. If you hear this piece, you will not believe how easy it is (around grade 1/2).

from the “Short-tempered clavier”. A hilarious fugue with chopsticks on the RH and very fast scales over two octaves on the LH. An excellent encore.

Minuet op. 14 no. 1

No. 7 – Prelude – My favourite. A beautiful, magical piece with a fast broken chord accompaniment creating a mist of sound around the right hand melody. Very impressive (watch out for the glissandi!). This piece was originally written for harp.

No. 10 – Scherzo – A wonderful show-off piece (probably too difficult, but what the heck, I love it!) full of tension and nervous energy jumping all over the keyboard.

Sostenuto – the most difficult of the lot. The melody is in the left hand while the right hand plays a repeated (but complex) dotted rhythm pattern.

Tarantella – Fast and rhythmical with a melodic middle section. Sounds much more difficult than it actually is.

Waltz - A nice little waltz with unexpected turns of the harmony. Wonderfully tonal and yet very modern.

The moon strolls in the Meadows – This is my top favourite – A beautiful, melodic piece of great delicacy with the melody played alternatively in the right and left hand.

Sonata K 025

738 8 Scarlatti

Sonata K 027

Wonderful, lyrical piece, much closer to Grieg’s “Notturno” in form and feeling than to Chopin’s or Field’s.

(D minor - Allegro) This is actually a two voice invention. Fast and delicate with lots of thirds and scale runs on the right hand, but no difficulty at all in the left hand. Difficult to play at full speed but easy if played slowly (and still effective) Recorded by Ivo Pogorelich for DG. (2:30).

(A minor - Presto) – Electrical piece with ultra fast scale rushes. Looks easy on the page, but wait until you try to play it up to tempo

(G minor – Allegro) In spite of the tempo indication this is a slow, lyrical sonata. Melancholic and intense.

(G major – Presto) Fast and brilliant with a catchy, rhythmical theme on repeated notes. One of my favourites.

(G major – Presto) Looking for fast (very fast) scale runs interspersed with a beautiful staccato melody? Look no further than this sparkling gigue.

(E major – Presto) Virtuosistic sonata that is the sort of “expected” Scarlatti: guitar imitation, Spanish rhythms, fast scales in thirds, repeated notes and lots of ornaments. Great show off piece. If you want to develop a certain kind of technique, burn the Czerny and play this sonata instead.

(F# minor – Allegro) – A not too fast, beautiful two voice invention that moves in a relentless way with one of the most beautiful motifs of all sonatas. Crossing hands. Broken chords figuration in both hands. Harmonically adventurous and mood setting. A masterpiece.

(B minor – Allegro) This is my all time favourite Scarlatti sonata. A masterpiece. Surprisingly romantic, could very well have been composed by someone like Schubert. Very untypical Scarlatti. Achingly beautiful melody. Arpeggio figurations and lots of crossing hands.

772 5 Scarlatti Sonata K 112 (Bb major - Allegro) – A beautiful, lyrical sonata. Crossing hands.730 6 Scarlatti Sonata K 119


(D minor – Aria) Lyrical sonata much easier than it sounds. Slow and melancholic. Although just one page long it requires some musical maturity to be truly effective. This is an ideal piece to open a recital, since it is slow and introspective it will calm you down. This is a real gem. Only 24 bars long, technically unchallenging (grade 3), and yet one of the most beautiful sonatas. Slow paced and exuding tranquillity, this reflective piece is the best of the four.

(A major – Allegro) – Fast and furious, full of nervous energy. Excellent for waking up the audience! Figurations are shared equally by both hands. Excellent Czerny replacement and superior warm up piece. Equally effective at a slower tempo.

(E major – Presto) This one of my favourite fast sonatas. As the Cheyene Indians found of saying “ it makes my heart soar like a hawk”. One of the most catchy motifs amongst all sonatas it makes one wish to dance and jump for joy. This is amazing music.

(D minor – Andante moderato) – Wonderful sonata, lyrical and devotional, uplifting and tranquil. Written (mostly) in 3-voice counterpoint. Another masterpiece.

(A minor – Allegro) After a typical plaintive start in A minor, it suddenly displays a most romantic theme. Very unusual sonata. The main difficulty is to be found in the several bars where the hands cross. There are some thirds and sixths but they are easily negotiable.

(G major – Allegro) – Also known as Capriccio, this is celebratory, joyful and uplifting music that is much easier to play than it sounds. An all time favourite. Wide skips, echo effects, but fits the hand surprisingly well.

(D minor – Allegro) – A determined and energetic gavotte, one of Scarlatti’s most played and well known pieces.

(F# minor – Allegro) Toccatta like, this is a fast, dazzling sonata ideal for an encore. One of my favourites.

(F minor) My favourite amongst the slow, lyrical sonatas, this is a hauntingly beautiful piece with a complex polyphonic texture – difficult to read but easy to play. Spend sometime analysing its structure before tackilng it at the piano. A masterpiece.

(Bb major - Allegro ) A two voice invention (with a third voice intruding on the last two bars of the first part), this is excellent for finger and hand independence.

(D minor – Moderato e cantabile – minuet) Painfully nostalgic and evocative lyrical sonata followed by a lively minuet. A masterpiece.

(B minor - Andante ) Intensely lyrical work of great musical depth. Couterpoint in three and four parts. Said to be Horowitz favourite Scarlatti sonata.

(D major – Allegro) Another “typical” Scarlatti sonata (similar to the overplayed K 380). Richly textured. It has everything in it: Horn calls, fast repeated notes, trills, suspensions, cross relations, parallel fifths, big leaps, scale runs and guitar imitations.

(E minor – Alegrissimo) Wonderful study in rhythm with unexpected developments, suspensions and syncopations.

(A minor – Adagio) – Beautiful lyrical writing in three and four part couterpoint. Excellent as a study in voicing. Recital material for the intermediate player.

(D major – Allegro) – Another sonata ideally suited to replace some of the common technical studies. Fast repeated notes, broken chords, arpeggios, leaps, crossing hands, scale runs. This unusual, percussive – watch out for the castanet sounds! - sonata has a very catchy, dancing motif. One of my favourites.

(D minor – Allegro) A fast sonata full of nervous energy, this is the cross hand piece to end all cross hand pieces! Leaping bass figures, double notes in both hands. Unusual and difficult.

Sonata K 247

(G major – Allegro) Tired of practising arpeggios? Try this sonata instead. A breezy arpeggio study with very fast triplet semiquavers. Uplifting and extroverted. Go and jump on a lake, Hanon!.

(G major – Vivo) – This non-stop sonata will not allow you to catch your breath! Great fun to play and an excellent virtuosistic piece to end a recital on a high note. If you are looking for a Czerny alternative look no further: it is a study for the left hand plus repeated notes, broken thirds, sixths and octaves. Also good practice for quick adjustments.

(C major – Cantabile – ¾)A slow (well, sort of) A lyrical sonata with beautiful lush harmonies, haunting dissonances and arpeggios that are suddenly interrupted by a heart wrenching delicate melody based on repeated notes. One of my all time favourites.

(E major – Allegro) Dazzling finger work alternating with slow episodes in 4-voice counterpoint. Catchy and uplifiting.

(D minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. A fast toccata with lots of repeated notes over long stretches. Broken chords and skips. Virtuosic with dissonant guitar strumming in the left hand and lots of cross hands. Excellent as a study replacement.

(G major – Allegretto) – 3/8 – A nice little menuet full of humour and light. Although it sounds dazzling and virtuosic it is much easier than it sounds. Main difficulty are the fast alternating hands.

(E major - Andante) After a slow, lyrical beginning all hell breaks loose, and a fast, dazzling sonata ensues with occasional returns to the slow theme.

(A minor – Allegro) – A vigorous impulsive sonata with most of the finger work on the right hand. The left hand (which demands a hand span covering at least an octave) plays sonorous chords and tone clusters – with up to ten notes! – imitating the strumming of a guitar. This Sonata was composed in 1752. Here Scarlatti succeeds in making conventional harmonies with slight changes sound quite extraordinary for the period. The Sonata has real Spanish character with vitality and bravura. Musically, the guitar-like sounds of the left hand chords are particularly fascinating.

(B minor - Andante) – Sonata in a lyric, cantabile style, moderately flowing. Expansive, sonorous qualities.

(E minor – Allegro) – A masterpiece. Dramatic and powerful, this 2 voice invention (with a third voice intruding on 4 bars near the start of the second part) is still effective at a slower tempo. One of my favourites.

ArpeggiosThirds

(E minor – 3/8) – Beautiful sonata with most of the figurations on one hand at a time. An insistent and catchy motif keeps bringing the sonata together. Unusual syncopations. Requires a sizeable hand span and accurate skips in some of the figurations.

(A major – Andante e cantabile) – Lyrical sonata, with a hauntingly beautiful melody and compelling harmonic progressions. Tranquil and luminous, this is a masterpiece.

(D minor - Andante ) – Another of my favourites amongst the lyrical sonatas. A slow, full-of-longing melody increases gradually in intensity up to an unusual harmonic climax. Great to play and to listen to.

(C# minor – Allegro) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (slightly reminiscent of K 69) with a weaving three voice counterpoint. Enharmonic modulations and movement into remote keys. A masterpiece.

(G major – Andante) – A two and three voice invention. Lyrical and tranquil. Slightly reminiscent of K 208.

(F# major – Andante) An unusual key that suggests that Scarlatti was familiar with equal temperament tuning. A lyrical and calm sonata.

(A major – Allegro) – Dazzling and fast, this “baroque prelude” style sonata has most of its impressive finger work in the right hand. Excellent for finger control and co-ordination, it is actually much easier than it sounds. Great fun to play.

(G minor – Presto a fugato) Wonderful sonata with scales (some chromatic) alternating hands over the whole extent of the keyboard.

(E major – Allegro) – This beautiful two-voice invention is excellent for finger and hand co-ordination and independence. A most beautiful melody on the second part.

(E minor – Andante) One of my favourites slow sonatas. Harmonically advanced and elaborate – at seven pages is one of the longest sonatas - this is a masterful sonata with a superb central melody. Reflective and spiritual.

(C major – Allegro). This is joyful music that makes you want to skip and jump and dance! This is the kind of music that makes you smile for hours after listening to it. This cures depression, serious! Great for your trills and glissando-like scales.

(C major – Allegro) One of my favourites, this is a brilliant and dazzling sonata with plenty of repeated notes. It is said to represent children running through the streets of Madrid.

(G minor – Andante) Another beautiful lyrical sonata, deeply reflective and tranquil, and not at all melancholic. Rich textures and highly musical. Very good as a study in long phrases. Sudden dramatic silences.

(G major – Prestissimo) Wonderfully exhilarating sonata, both to play and to listen to. The tempo direction (“as fast as possible”) gives you an idea of what to expect. A really electric and uplifting work requiring pianism of the utmost degree. Has a recurring motif that is incredibly joyful and catchy. My favourite fast sonata. (But only if you play it at top speed. It is still effective at lower speeds).

A delightful “baroque prelude” style piece with a fast right hand in arpeggio triplet figurations while the left hand provides a melody in minims and crochets. Although this should be played fast, it is still effective if use a slower tempo. Just 16 bars.

(D major - Allegro ) – One of my all time favourites, After a rhythmic introduction characteristic of Spanish dances, a most gentle and evocative melody develops. Repeated notes.

(F major - Pastorale: Allegrissimo) In spite of the tempo direction this is a relatively slow sonata, lyrical and reflexive.

(G major – Andante spirituoso) After a calm opening and nice little folk-like tune this sonata goes onto a breathless sequence of scurrying scales and broken chords over the entire length of the keyboard on both hands. Unexpected changes. Good Czerny replacement and warm-up piece.

(C major – Allegro) A beautiful sonata full of guitar sounds and Spanish nostalgia. A fast introduction is followed by a most evocative second part.

(F minor – Andante moderato) - A masterpiece. Beautiful, slow lyrical sonata. As it is often the case with the lyrical sonatas, this one elicits tranquillity and peacefulness rather than melancholy and grief. Excellent for developing rhythm awareness of triplets versus quavers. It also has 3 against 2.

(G major – Allegretto) – Starts with determined, percussive chords, which are followed by a fast figuration of great delicacy equally shared between the hands. Good Czerny replacement and warm up. Fast and dazzling this sonata exudes confidence.

(D major – Andante cantabile) – Beautiful lyrical sonata (and one of the longest). Uses the whole keyboard.

(F minor – Andante e cantabile) Introspective, delicate and lyrical this could be an ideal choice for opening a recital. And if you need a study in phrasing and legato this sonata is for you!

(C major – Allegro) A percussive sonata, full of zest and unresolved dissonances that make it sound brittle and sharp. Difficult octave leaps on the left hand.

(D major – Allegro) – Rhythmical percussive beginning followed by a romantic arpeggiated section (not unlike a Schubert impromptu) with a most pleasing melody. A masterpiece.

(C major – Allegro) – Inventive sonata with many original musical ideas. Starts lively in 3/8 and modulates to G minor to end the first half in G major. On the second part changes meter to 2/4 and returns to 3/8 at the end. Dotted figuration, including dotted rests.

(D major – Allegro) – A masterpiece. This is a 2 voice invention with the figurations equally distributed between the hands. Urgent and dramatic it will still be effective at a slower tempo. Technical problems are minimal.

(C major – Pastorale: Moderato – Molto allegro – Presto) One of the few sonatas written in different movements (tempos). Shepherd pipes and bagpipes drones are imitated. The final movement (presto) is exhilarating and virtuosic. This Pastorale was composed in 1756 during Scarlatti's late period. It recalls the piping of the shepherds who came down into Rome from the surrounding hills at Christmas time. They begin in a moderate tempo, the drone of their bagpipes is heard in a quicker section, and finally they celebrate in a joyful Presto.

(D minor – Prestissimo – 2/2) Another fast and furious sonata that can easily replace any technical study. With a typical baroque figuration shared by both hands, this one is ideal for scales, broken chords and close position passage work, and excellent for finger independence and dexterity. Intense, urgent and relentless.

(Bb major – Cantabile) – A beautiful aria, this lyrical sonata is a real gem. With occasional 4-voice couterpoint it has dignified, overlapping phrases.

(G minor) – Written in 2 and 3 parts, this is another lyrical, melancholic sonata with a beautiful, flowing melody. Recorded by Benjamin Frith for Naxos.

(G major – Allegro) – Lively and imposing sonata with a beautiful recurring motif. Two voice invention (with an occasional third voice) equally shared between hands. Effective at a slower tempo. Great warm up.

Completely atonal music, and yet highly atmospheric and impressionistic, nos. 2, 3 and 6 are more reflective.

There are over 40 exceptional pieces in this set, but only the first ten or so are really for beginners. “The cycle is a totally shattering profile of spiritual development, beginning with the innocently naïve and childish nos. 1 – 5, where no shadows are yet to be found. With no. 6 comes the first small cloud (The poor orphan)[…] with nos 12 and 13 the cycle leaves behind […] the child’s world. […] in the second section, the tone changes, with a contrast between the friendly A major of nos. 20, 22, 24, and 28 and the intervening pieces like the sad no. 19, the magnificently inspired nos. 21 and 26 the sinister no. 23 the excited no. 25. […] [the last] ten numbers are wonderful examples of the uniquely introverted worlds of late Schumann."

Beautiful haunting melody with 16th note acompanying figure split between the hands, somewhat like some of Mendelsohnn's SWWs.

(I particularly like nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10) No. 9 - After a chordal introduction, the second part has a mist of sound created by a fast chromatic figuration on the LH

924 2 Stravinsky Les Cinq Doights

656 9 Szimanowski Metopes Op. 24

Beautiful lyrical writing, in an impressionist style. Starts like nocturne, and near the end has a noisy passage.

Allegro vivace. Very fast, reminds me of a Czerny exercise for the right hand (maybe Shostakovitch was making a parody here, similar to Debussy’s Dr. Gradus)

Very funny polka style with all you could expect from modern music: dissonances, big jumps, sudden changes of key, bitonality, wrong-note writing.

Allegro non troppo - If no. 5 was Czerny for the right hand, this is for the left hand. The right hand crosses over frequently. Not as dissonant as the others. Fast LH figurations (not dissimilar to Czerny) in a “moto perpetuo” setting. Modern harmonies and “wrong note” writing.

Arguably the best of the set, very lugubrious, making full use of the piano’s orchestral sounds. Actually I read somewhere that Stokowski made an orchestral version of this prelude (I haven’t heard it though).

A very nice waltz, with the typical waltz accompaniment first on the right hand, then on the left. Very jolly.

If you like Scarlatti you will like Soler. A disciple of Scarlatti, Soler composed 300 sonatas similar in style.

If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and impressionistic at the same time. three very difficult tone poems.

If you are after virtuoso, complex music, look no further. Romantic and impressionistic at the same time. Some highly lyric, some dramatic.

Not all pieces are for beginners. The easier are no. 1 “Morning prayer” a four voice chorale, no.7 “The sick doll” which is very easy, but the melody is on the second beat of the bar, so it requires attention to voicing, no. 8 “The doll’s burial” very slow and heavy; no. 21 “Daydream”, very good to learn how to do offbeat chord accompaniment and no. 24 “In Church”, again a 4/5 voice chorale, but easier because of repeated chords. Excellent to learn syncopated pedaling.

No. 6 Very fast, repetitive arpeggio figurations on the LH. Modern yet tonal and with a minimalist idiom.
