The lark ascending saw the video of Janine Jansen! But it's not one of my favourite piece even tough i really like her interpretation!

Also love the Kreutzer Sonata and Romance Op 50 Beethoven
Fran*Piano
Oooh, Czardas, without a doubt! Also Danse Macabre, Hungarian Dance No.5 by Brahms and Caprice Number 24...my list is nearly identical to yours, sabbyviolin! biggrin.gif

My list constantly changes, but for the good of mankind and for those who have never heard it (apologies if you have!)...nocturne c sharp minor

I think it's hauntingly beautiful!

Ah yes as you know I am a Dvorak fan, but the Romance is a lot harder than that Sonatina. ! I also like the Four Romantic Pieces by him, they are about Grade 7-8.

I know they are harder, I am not sure what you are trying to suggest with that statement?
