xx VIDEO: Chopin Scherzo Op. 20 No. 1 in B minor (Updated)

The piano is tuned, and the video is taken with ZOOM Q3. Not sure whether the setup is the best. Any suggestions regarding the video and Nathan's playing are welcomed!

xx Chopin Scherzo No. 1, Op. 20 - the Polish Christmas Carol
November 16, 2010, 02:10:44 PM by bach_ko

Recently I have decided to make a better recording of my old repertoire for future use. I am learning back Chopin Scherzo no.1 that I played in 2007. I noticed that there are some strange dynamic markings appeared in other editions which is different from the one I learned (Schirmer). In the middle section (of Schirmer), there is a long cresc. being carried straight through to bar 4 while Peters edition has < > within the first two bars. Does anyone know which one is correct?

xx Which pieces should I choose?Liszt, Rach, Chopin or Debusyy?
October 29, 2010, 07:33:10 PM by keyb0ardfweak

Hi!

It's my first year in the conservatory and I wanted to ask all of you what you would recommend me to do.

Btw, I am in the 7th year of 10

I ask opinions here. The only problem is if I am doing correctly or not.
Because my teacher believes I can and she demands me to play this on december and on may...

Anyways, the pieces I would like to choose are:

- Liszt - "Ballade no.1" (This one has to be in May) or "Un suspiro etude"
- Rachmaninoff - "Prelude Op.3 no.2" or "Prelude Op.23 no.5"
- Scarlatti - "K.141" or "K.87"
- Chopin - "Scherzo Op.20" or "Etude Op.10 no.8"
- Debussy - One of the "Images" book, AND, I was thinking of "L'isle joyeuse"


On december I have to play Bach's Prelude and fugue 2 (WTC 1), Chopin's etude op.10 no.6 and Scarlatti's Sonata "K.141"..I would like to play something more challenging..

Now..I have a BIG problem

Personally, she tells me, and some other friends that I can play all of that stuff!!
But..I don't feel like I can!!=S


I am 19 years old and I've been playing since 11-12

I would like you to help me on how to memorize all of this o.O

It seems hard for me

xx What is harder chopin revolutiary étude or scherzo 1?
June 13, 2010, 06:42:40 AM by max747

I just finished the scherzo b minor by Chopin but I want to know if starting on the rev étude would be a step back. Some say it is one of the easier etudes but I don't know.I just started sightreading it for ten minutes and skipped around from section to section. The middle section and end contain some difficulties and thus I am thinking of pusing it what do I do

xx Ok let me try this again
March 16, 2009, 09:01:12 PM by tyler_johnson

I apologize if there was some confusion about my last post regarding the Chopin Scherzo.  I've re-created the audio file to better illustrate my point.  There are no notes that have been changed from Chopin's original composition.  Have a listen:

www.tyler-johnson.net/Scherzo(2).mp3

What I was trying to point out is that it sounds good if it were in 4/4 as well, and I think I like this phrasing better than the 3/4 version.  It sounds more melodic.

The first section of the mp3 is in 3/4 and the 2nd section is in 4/4.

xx Question regarding Chopin Scherzo No. 1
March 13, 2009, 03:05:18 AM by tyler_johnson

I just started learning this piece and I don't have a piano teacher to answer me these questions so I was hoping you guys could help me out.  I have 2 questions about this Scherzo, one is this:

Right toward the end of the first section, we see this:

http://www.tyler-johnson.net/Picture%201.jpg

Which sounds like this:

http://www.tyler-johnson.net/SCHERZO%201.mp3

But every recording I've heard of this piece everyone plays it like this:

http://www.tyler-johnson.net/SCHERZO%201(2).mp3

Which would look like this:

http://www.tyler-johnson.net/Picture%202.jpg

(no ties on the bass clef B notes).

Why is this?  Am I missing something here?


And another thing is, during the 2nd section (right after the first repeat) I have ran into this and I've seen it before, but it's a note with a double accidental.  It's a C in the bass clef with a natural AND a sharp sign before it, then the same thing in the same measure in the right hand, we have an F with a natural AND a sharp accidental.  Which one do I play?  Is the note sharp or natural?

Thanks.

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

Robert York, pianist

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
