Intermediate Piano Pieces in B minor

B minor at the intermediate level

Severe and elegiac, sometimes called the key of patience. Liszt's B minor Sonata is its monumental statement.

Intermediate repertoire assumes a confident reader at the piano with three to seven years of study. Voice-leading between hands, ornament technique, basic pedalling, and the ability to shape a melodic line over an accompanying texture all come into play. Many of the most beloved Romantic miniatures sit here.

The pieces below all sit in B minor and fall within the intermediate range described above. They are drawn from across the major composers and four centuries of the keyboard tradition, every one of them in the public domain. Each piece links to its individual page with full catalog data, performance notes, and a direct PDF download from the IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library.
