These are two amazing pieces, but which one would you rather play?

Geez what a choice to make!

They're both soooooooooo cool. I'll go with Aufschwung though.

Aufschwung and In der Nacht are both from the Phantasiestucke op.12

I don't know about those two songs, but I really like Des Abends from Phantasiestucke Op.12

I'm finding it hard to memorise, even though it's pretty much the same figure all the way through :S I guess I memorise mainly on patterns, and as it's all the same I'm finding it hard to distinguish

For me, once I knew had memorised the melody well enough, the accompanying figure just fell in place - my fingers just knew what to do. There are only really four sections to learn: the main theme, the two key signature changes and the coda. have fun memorising!
