Chosing the next piece, help ( Bernard xD?)
on: September 03, 2006, 08:55:39 PM
Hey there,

Finally i got the chance to play piano. Im kind of sad that i started playing at the age of 18. Admittedtly, i always dreamed of playing the piano. But due to the limited budget of my family ;/ I started kinda late. So thats why I dont want to waste time and practice  as much as possible!!
I dont know which piece i should play next. four months have passed since i started playing . So its obvious that i have only learned three  pieces which are , an easy bach prelude BWV 935
the 4th bach invention and the first movement of the moonlight sonata. my next piece should help me  my improve my technique and sound good ^^ if possible. I would be happy for any suggestions and advices.

 Are there pieces that every pianist has to struggle with in order to improve ?

thanks in advance   ;D
