Could I learn this waltz?

[aya_heller]

  I've been taking piano for two years, and have pretty much just been sticking to the songs that are in the books I have for my lessons.  But I'd like to do something different, I'm just not sure if I would be able to. =P

  I've been listening to Waltz in B- Op. 69 No. 2 by Chopin and I am quite fond of it.  As well, it doesn't sound TERRIBLY difficult.

  Last summer at this time my teacher skipped me from my about grade 1 level to grade 8 for RCM.  I've been working on grade 8 since, and actually have played practically all the songs in the Celebration Series books (the repertoire and studies for grade .  My teacher even made me buy the old ones so that I would have more to play! =P

  So obviously I'm used to working by butt of at the piano, but I don't want to get frustrated with a piece that is really above me at the moment =P.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, Thank you =)

I've been practicing it for so long today now... time goes by way too fast, it seems everytime I look at the clock another whole hour has passed!!

After doing as you said, I've decided that it is definitely doable =)

If you can play grade 8 pieces, op 69/2 should be no problem for you. My skills are certainly below grade 8, but my teacher gave me this waltz, and I think I will master it. The tricky parts are the thirds in the Bmajor part, and the endless jumps in the left hand. So try it! Best wishes, Josef
