Suggested fingerstyle pieces that don’t use 4th finger left hand (pinky)

I have been playing classical guitar for years
And typically play either classical pieces or fingerstyle (not much strumming)

Over past few years I have Dupuytren contracture (condition where the little fingers started to curl back to palm)

As a result, I can’t use my left hand pinky

That finger no longer cooperates and cannot press notes

Any suggestions for fingerstyle pieces that use 3 fingers on left hand?

You cannot imagine how much you need that left hand pinky to play

Thanks

Hello

I am looking for suggestions (either classical or fingerstyle) of pieces that do not use 4th finger (left hand Pinky)

Due to a worsening case of Dupuytren contracture (the bending of my left hand pinky) I’m no longer really able to use that finger

I’m struggling now to find pieces I can play that do not use 4th finger

You cannot imagine how many pieces require it

I’m lower lever intermediate or advanced beginner

Probably a grade 4 or 5

Thanks
