We'd like something gypsy-ish and passionate. We're both grade 8 so although it doesn't need to be that hard, something at least fairly challenging would be more fun. It could even be something with an orchestral part if we can get our friends to help out! Any suggestions?

They progress from Grade 2-ish stuff at the beginning through to ones which challenge grade 7/8 players at the end, and are fascinating little nuggets, very rewarding to play (lots of dissonance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
