Your most advanced play!?
on: November 07, 2005, 09:07:16 PM
Hi....

Personally I've only played for 1 year (I'm just 16 :P), and I can't play that much, but the most advanced i can play is probably "having fun" by Dimitri Kabalevsky or a Ballade by F. Burgmuller.

Whats the most advanced you can play on the piano!?

If I should chose a play that I'd really like to learn, it would be Sonate nr. 8 op. 13 by Beethoven (Damn)..  ;)

What play do you really want to learn?

Happy playing!

I look out to play Alkan's Concerto pour Piano Solo, such a immense cool beautiful masterwork!

Before I'm 30, I want to be able to Play Rachmaninoffs 3rd Piano Concerto in d minor, Opus 30 Absolutely flawlessly and hopefully perform it with a full symphony orchestra.

Right now, I am attempting to have Liszt's Mazeppa ready for 2 weeks time, apart from the fact that I am teaching at school from 8 - 4 every day, and have to write Lesson plans every single night... So I haven't had much practice. And so far I have only spent about 2 hours on it.

poulenc's 'trois pieces'     really wonderful chord progressions in the 'hymn' part and very interesting movement of harmony also in the rest.  am just learning it.

Good luck. (you'll need it)

The hardest piece I play is probably one of the following:

Moonlight Sonata
Italian Concerto
'Arietta' Variations
Sonetto del Petrarca No.104 (though that one's on hold right now)

A  number of Chopin Etudes at the moment. Would like to play the Lizt sonata in public one day.

chopin ballade in g minor which i'm playing at a competition in 9 days and a masterclass in 11

hopefully once i get those done i'll be able to tackle some stuff of a similar or higher standard - considering prokofiev's toccata or beethoven's appassionata sonata

Hey... I wasn't trying to boast... I seriously want to accomplish my goal of playing the Rach 3.

I believe I could do it.... I've been playing for almost 12 years, and still have 9 more to go.

I guess the hardest piece i have ever played ok would be the Moszkowski-Wagner-Tristan or possibly the Liszt-Meybeer-Robert le Diable.
