I was looking for a list of beautiful pieces that would also improve my technique. That was when I came across etudes. Specifically, Chopin's etudes.
I absolutely fell in love, but there is no way I could play them right now. I did a lot of research and compiled a list of technical prerequisites for Chopin's etudes.I am not an expert on this matter. I simply put together what I've read online (sources will be cited at the end) and put it together into a lesson plan that I will be following.

45, 46, 47 will work here. Also Burgmuller Op. 109. Hans von Bulow and Chopin himself recommend Mocheles' Op. 70, but I replaced it due to lack of popularity, as it may become harder to find quality recordings. NE = Nouvelle Etudes.
PE = Preludes and Exercises. a.k.a. School of Velocity. a.k.a. 40 Daily Exercises. GaP Gradus ad Parnassum. The Tausig edition includes mostly just the mechanical pieces.
a.k.a. School of Finger dexterity. a.k.a. 51 ExercisesRCM LevelThe Royal Conservatory of Music (a.k.a. RCM) is based in Canada. I have used their piano examination levels as a rough guide, since their syllabus is fairly extensive, and available online.
On Baroque MusicBaroque music usually keeps your fingers moving and encourages even rhythm, and is great for improving technique. On Mechanical ExercisesThere are two opposing schools of thought:.
Mechanical exercises are good. They help pianists develop a solid foundation of technique. Mechanical exercises are bad. Melodic exercises are necessary and sufficient to develop technique.I personally will be avoiding mechanical exercises. Do your own research.
YMMV Beyond Chopin's Etudes. Liszt Op. 141 - Paganini Etudes.

I wouldn't say that Bach's GV is needed to play Chopin's Etudes. The hardness in GV is not mainly technical, it's in interpretation, form and size of this work. It has nothing to do with Chopin's Etudes, which are short, but focused on technique. I think there should be some Suite or Partita or Toccata by Bach at your list, maybe instead of GV.Also there should be Nouvelles Etudes by Chopin - they are important 'bridge' to opused Etudes. They should be played in the same time as Moszkowski's.I didn't do mechanical exercises, I played only a few Czerny Etudes, and some exercises. You can see me play in my reddit submissions, if you're curious where is my technique without practicing these.And I agree with that it's nothing wrong with starting with some Etudes ealier. I started to play op.
25 no 2 with op. 72 no 2 by Moszkowski (it was my first) and Nouvelle Etude by Chopin in F minor. Then I did Moszkowski's Etude F major op. 72 and Chopin's op. 10 no 5 and Nouvelle Etude in Ab major. So you can start ealier than you think, right after Czerny.
