Dramatic piano pieces
Fast pieces in minor keys, from Für Elise's stormy middle section to Bach's D minor preludes and Chopin's Revolutionary Étude. They're exciting to play and good for building finger strength and evenness, but they punish rushing: practise them slowly first, then raise the speed in steps.
