What piece I should learn next?
on: March 12, 2006, 07:43:58 PM
What piece do you suggest me to learn next?


Now I learn:

Schumann - Abegg variations.
Beethoven - 32 variations in C-Minor.
Mozart - Concerto 23 K.488 in A major.
Bach - French Suite No.2.
Debussy - Jardins sous la pluie.
Moszkowski - Etude.


BTW

I'm 13 years old and I learn 4 years.



Thanks in advanced and sorry for my bad English :-(!

I think that it depends on what else you've played, what you are playing right now.  A point of reference would be good before we can give any advice.

best,
Michael

I really want to start an advanced piece by Chopin (not a mazurka or nocturne...).
 


Can you suggest me something of Chopin to this level?


Thanks  :)

A lot of people like the first scherzo - I would consider that a more advanced piece by Chopin that you could learn quite a bit from.  And of course, it's a lot of fun to play.

Michael

The 3rd Scherzo is my fave by far. It has its tricky moments but might be worth a look.
