Well by golly I'm still playing Bumble Boogie. I've never wanted man hands but I see no other way. It's really hard going fast and JUST barely being able to reach all the notes.

Besides that Serenade for the Doll is just about done and I get to move on to Dr Gradus ad Parnassum =)

I've made a (very rough) plan of what I want to cover before leaving uni so I'll be in a good position for postgrad auditions:

Bach- Prelude and Fugue in G minor Bk 1 nr 16
Chopin- Nouvelles Etudes, Ballade in F minor, Etudes op 10 nr 1,2,3,4
Debussy- Estampes, Etudes: 'Pour les tierces' and 'Pour les sonorités opposées'
Elliott Carter- Piano Sonata (1945-6)
Haydn- Sonata in Ab
Ligeti- *leaning towards Automne a Varsovie but may change to Fanfares*
Liszt- Transcendental Etudes 3, 12, possibly revisit Gnomenreigen
Ravel- Gaspard de la nuit
Sculthorpe- Night Pieces

the only new stuff will be the Chopin Etudes (planning on picking ones I haven't done before), and the Ligeti Etude... but I think that's a good thing as there's quite a lot there and it means I can really knuckle down with them over the next 2 years- plenty of time =]

*edit... part of the reason I posted this was for evaluation purposes... already I've noticed in the Beethoven and the Chopin Ballade I have two major works in F minor... I'd pick Ballade 4 over Appassionata any day so no hard decision for me*

Trying to play this shorter piano version of Hotaru no Hikari by Ikimono Gakari that I found online...not doing so well...the person who transcribed this really messed up...

I'm currently playing Hymn To Freedom by Oscar Peterson on the piano

It has more of a jazzy feel to it

Currently working on playing songs from Zelda: Twilight Princess. Songs are really cool, so's the game.
