My mother seems to be convinced of two things: that I need to make unknown works famous and that I need to play so that the public will enjoy it. I don't necessarily agree, but combining those two gave me the idea of a CD: 'Rare Beauties.' I've seen many CDs, built to pander to middle-class moms, that contain only the most popular and most banal works out there. Why not the Chopin Nocturne Op. 62/1, the Fauré Ninth Barcarolle, the Rachmaninoff Prelude Op. 23/1 and Etude-Tableau Op. 39/7? I think that could work. I might not ever do it, but I'd like to hear your ideas for pieces that should go on this

Well, I'd include some Satie - maybe the Gymnopédies or the Gnossiennes. And a judicious selection of the Debussy préludes. Beethoven's 'Rage over a Lost Penny' capriccio would be in there too. Also Chopin's barcarolle, and some of Liszt's Schubert song transcriptions, eg. Auf dem Wasser zu singen.

I agree with the Liszt-Schubert lieder, but why Satie? He's fairly ubiquitous. The Chopin Barcarolle is also a question mark, few Chopin interpreters have failed to record it prominently.

You're right, Satie's been completely covered (especially by Aldo Ciccolini). Might I suggest for your album:
Julius Reubke, Piano Sonata in B-Flat Minor (if you've never heard it, you'll find the resemblances to Scriabin remarkable

The Ravel Sonatine is one of the sweetest little works ever written.

It certainly is. Along with the Jeux d'Eau, it's also the only piece he listed that I agree with. (I'm adding that and the Beethoven Sonata Op. 31/3 to the imaginary roster.)
