Hi all. I wonder if you can help? I am trying to prove myself as a pianist but lost my certificates donkeys' years ago. I need to demonstrate my rather rusty skills by playing a piece at about grade 8 standard for a small panel of established musicians. It doesn't have to be a set piece or anything, it just has to be:

short.
of a grade 8ish standard (ie incorporating elements that you may find at grade 8).
easy to get hold of.
enjoyable!!

I tend to like fast, rowdy pieces but will consider anything. Love Beethoven's piano stuff in particular.


Any suggestions?? Thanks! Jelly.

Month's Mind by John Ireland is definitely rowdy in places but has soft passages too - one of my favourites but probably not everyone's cup of tea. Sounds very impressive and is great fun to play!
