Phil --

From what you just said last about your stage of playing (the comments regarding "Yellow After"), I think the Musser etudes, other Peters' pieces and also "Raindance" would be good options for you. The Abe pieces are significantly more difficult than "Yellow After." You might also want to look at Smadbeck's pieces, such as "Raindance" and "Etude no. 1."

I would also strongly suggest at this stage it would be wisest to work up your 'chops,' i.e. do lots of technique work. What's the use of attempting strong solo literature if you don't have the muscle to play it? (I've learned this one the hard way) :) Become proficient in all the basic strokes, and the literature will come naturally through that. It is smartest to have a strong foundation in the basics (technique) before you work on the 'fancy' stuff (literature).

All the best.
