I read through them a lot and I have polished several for performance. I wouldn’t audition with them – there are much more impressive pieces you could choose that are in the same vein. They are crowd pleasers though, so nice to have in you repertoire.

I learned the E Minor Posth. Waltz, one of the harder ones.

It's a fun piece to play, though it took me a while to practice not hitting the d in the right hand during the coda.  ;)

I've done 6 of them but haven't polished them off. am currently working on the E minor posthmous. in fact playing it at a small concert on Sunday. just hope that i hit the keys on that run on the first page, the two octave arpeggio type thing. anyone done the Csharp minor for a performance?

I did the c#-. I like the Piu lento section a lot. I would say it is a little easier then the e-. I played the  e- a few years ago for an exam. They're all so nice, I should play some again.
