Chopin Preludes
on: February 23, 2006, 02:40:14 AM
I have a question. If I wanted to master all 24 of Chopin's Preludes (Op. 28) in the manner that many have suggested (like with the 100 pieces you want to learn), what would the order be from easiest to hardest? A general opinion would be helpful. My personal opinion of difficulty is:

7, 6, 4, 20, 3, 2, 15, 13, 1, 14, 17, 18, 11, 23, 21, 9, 10, 16, 19, 22, 5, 8, 12, and 24


I'd like some input, please.

4, 6, 7, 20 are the easier ones imo (not in any order).

Then 9, 7, 2, 15 maybe (again, not in that order).

16, 24 seem to be two of the super ruff ones, maybe leave those until last!
