So What Have We All Got Planned For This Summer??

I know that when the summer holidays come i like to learn some NEW PIECES !
Has anyone got an interesting repertoire or interesting pieces they are planning on learning?

Mine are
Chopin Fantasy Impormptu
Rachmaninoff prelude in g minor
Moonlight sonata complete - easier but fantastic
StIll DecIdIng !!!


SO what ABOUT you   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                                     

I believe that preludes are always the best for special occasions.

People on this forum are generally full of crap.

[pianochild]

dont be silly, it would takemore than 3 WEEKS to learn 206 pieces. And they are not all easyish. mabye they are to you, but many of his etudes, polonaises etc are very hard (professional level)

[pianochild]

And can i also add that he is 16. Not saying he is not capable, but cannot do all that in one summer, he needs to have space for a life too!

But come Late September 2010... I want to start playing some major Piano Concerti.

[unicornxgirl]

my goals are

scriabin sonata 5
prokofiev concerto #2
chopin scherzo #2... i think ... or is it 1?

i hope i can finish by the end of summer... i can tell my teacher doesn't have a lot of faith in me... TT0TT

[thalbergmad]

i can tell my teacher doesn't have a lot of faith in me

I can only suggest that you find one that does.

[unicornxgirl]

I can only suggest that you find one that does.

oh she's a wonderful teacher its just that last summer (my first summer with her) i slacked off too much and it's really my fault that she doesn't think i can finish in time... but this year i'm DETERMINED TO FINISH

[thalbergmad]

That's the spirit girl.

There is nothing more enjoyable than proving someone wrong.

[amelialw]

I have to finish learning my competition pieces:
Beethoven Piano Concerto no.1
Mozart Sonata K.284
Schumann Papllions
& Debussy Estampes

heh...my canada piano teacher seems to have alot of confidence in me, perhaps a bit too much but i'll probably suceed in finishing everything she has assigned just because i'm always afraid of disappointing her especially when she's visiting now. I discussed with her my plans for school for next term so we selected my pieces for my school exam together as well, I have to give her a list of the pieces i selected from the choices she gave me on friday with the exception of Schumann,
for school exam in Nov:
Scarlitti Sonata Kk.141 in d minor & Liszt Gnomereign
other pieces assigned by her: ( was instructed to pick 1-2 of each from Liszt Transcedental Etudes,Annees de Pelerinage,Schubert Waltzers,Brahms Intermezzi,Schumann Abegg* and Scenes from Childhood*)
Liszt Transcedental Etude no.9 Ricordanza
Liszt Annees de Pelerinage Swisse nos. 7 Églogue 9 Les cloches de Genève. Nocturne
Brahms Intermezzi op.118
Schubert Waltzers D.790& D.820

Liszt Concert Etude no. 3 Un Sospiro
Chopin Etude op. 25 no. 12 "ocean"
