Shostakovich: Op.87 Progression Thread
on: May 22, 2006, 07:34:45 PM
I know there have been threads for Bach's WTC learning progressions.  My teacher assigned me no.7 in a major (one of the easier ones?) a while ago, and I can say that I loved it and I would like to learn the others as well.

So, can anyone make a rough list of them from easiest to hardest?

Thanks.

Just play through them and see which ones you like.  IF you come acorss something you don't think you can handle, find another one.  heck there's 24 to choose from.
the dmin is probably close to the hardest in terms of pacing, sound and stamina.
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.
