A middle aged piano teacher. Many people play better than I do, but many more play worse.

I have a few recordings in the audition room, if you're curious. I saw your post and thought the Sinfonia would be a good project for the month, not a "monster"  ;D.  Besides, I've never studied one before...  :-[

It's time that I did. The monster(s) will come later in the summer...

What is that, a challenge? A Liszt TE perhaps?

I want a duel, but I don't know what I want to play. Also, it can't be too strenuous because I'm retraining after an injury. Maybe Mozart K330? Bach P&F in E-flat minor/D-sharp minor? Those are both pieces my teacher wants me to learn anyways. I've read through them, but I haven't really practiced them, so I guess it would still be fair.

If anyone's interested, I want a lot of time to do it in. Maybe the middle of August?

The duel idea sounds great. Should we compile a list of scheduled duels and challenges that everyone can refer to? If this topic grows too long, it'll be easier to look at that than to scroll through all the posts.

I'm interested in participating, but I probably can't work on a technique-heavy piece outside of what I'm currently practicing...but, if anyone has a piece in mind that isn't going to swallow up too much time, I'm up for it! A Chopin Nocturne/other piece or Debussy sounds good right now, though I'm relatively flexible (as long as I haven't learned it already). Anyone? =)

If you love these pieces, chances are you are not for duels but rather for celebrations and rendezvoux (sp?).

Beethoven 109

or Liszt Vallee d'Obermann

or Bach Partita 2

or Mozart 332, your pick.  July 15.

p.s.  10.2, I have lost interest, as you can see.

Wolfi, can we possibly move the date up? The mazurka is not that hard a piece, and after some time practicing it, I feel like the time needed to shape it is significantly less than an entire summer.  ;D
