A question to all the 14-17 year olds in this thread: Where do you find the time to practice so much repertoire? Are you planning to study music in a conservatory/university, or is this just a hobby?

[pianoviolin]

well I'm 16, and i often struggle to find time to practice my repertoire due to loads of homework, involvement in church orchestras, worship bands and so on.

On the weekends I hardly find any time to practice because in my parents house, Saturdays are 'clean up days' and Sundays, we go to church and then meet up with family.
So during the week, I mostly wake up early in the morning to practice because my muscles are all relaxed and my mind is fresh, and so that's when I mostly get my good practices done. And also I practice whenever I can at school during breaks and after school.

God willing, I would love to study at the conservatory. Every time I go in the buildings, I feel like I'm in music land.

 

[lorditachijr]

To respond as a 14 year old, I am still not sure if I am going to make a career out of music. I am attending boarding school this fall at Phillips Academy (a.k.a. Andover) in Andover, Massachusetts. The academics there are pretty rigorous, so I probably won't get as much time to practice. I generally spend most of my free time practicing piano and violin, so I get about 2 hours a day on each during the school year. During the summer and on weekends I practice about 3-5 hours a day. Music has been my passion for awhile, so I really enjoy practicing and performing. My dream is to be a concert pianist and/or violinist, but I also would like to be a neurosurgeon. I'd probably make more money as a surgeon, and I think that would help me to take care of my family. To be honest, I'm avoiding the decision between music and medicine as long as I can. When I get to my senior year in high school I'll make a decision.

Also, holy *** pianovlad1996, how the hell did you get that far? This seems a joke!

[pbryld]

My name is Alex and I am 15 years old. 

In the last year I have done the following:

Chopin- Black Key Etude

Gershwin- Prelude 1

Bach-Prelude and Fugue 6 in D minor

Beethoven- Op. 10 No. 2 Sonata

Un Sospiro

Macdowell- Improvisation

Chopin Etude OP. 10 no. 1

dvorak and poulenc duets

Chopin- Scherzo in B flat Minor

Liszt- Consolation No.3

Do you think this is on track in terms of for a 15-year-old? I'd appreciate any comments on my playing. Thanks!

'

I would love to hear you play Un Sospiro.

[wildman]

and my first pieces: Fur Elise, Bach Invention No.1, Piano Method by Taneyev, Easy Russian Folk Pieces, Russian Romances, Beethoven Sonatina in G major, Kuhlau  sonatinas, Clementi Sonatinas, Ana Magdalena Bach all, Czerny Op.599 No.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20.  This was my repertoire when I was 5-6 years.
Now, I'm 15 years old. I started to play piano at the age of 3 but until 5 I didn't play seriously.  
                  

That's impossible. I mean, 50 pieces in a year, mostly of which are already intermediate-grade, to be played by someone in Kindergarten? Seriously, don't joke me.

[williampiano]

Prokofiev- March op.12 no.1, Gavotte op.12 no.2
Bach- Sinfonia no.3
Debussy- Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum
Faure- Nocturne no.2
Chopin- Nocturne op.15 no.1 (still kind of working on this one)
Beethoven- Sonata op.10 no.2 (movement one)

[pianovlad1996]

Sorry.  I didn't specified that those pieces were done in my first years of piano. I didn't play 50 pieces /1 year. Probably in 3 years. It was a mistake and no, I am not joking. This is the Russian school. I play 20 pieces/ year and one concerto. I didn't say it's fun. 

[pianoman53]

I started playing when I was 15, something, and am no 22. I have never really focused on getting a really big repertoire, but here it goes:

Bach: Partita no 1, and several preludes and fugues
Hayd: 2 Sonatas
Mozart: Sonata f major 332 and d major 284, Rondo in A minor, and just about to start a piano concert, but I don't know which one yet.
Beethoven: Waldstein, Pathetique, Emperor concerto
Schubert: A few songs, but no full piano piece yet
Schumann: Symphonic etudes, Waldszenen
Chopin: A few waltzes, Etudes, Scherzo no 2, Ballade no 2
Liszt: Sonetto Del Petrarca 104, Mephistowaltz, Paganinietude no 6, and will try to start looking at a transcendental etude.
Grieg: Piano concerto no 1, first movement.
Debussy: L'isle joyeuse, Estampes, a few preludes

I will also just now begin at, more than the pieces I mentioned, a piece by Barber. Either the Ballade or the souvenires, a Rachmaminov etude, and Prokofiev sonata no 3.

[wildman]

Sorry.   I didn't specified that those pieces were done in my first years of piano. I didn't play 50 pieces /1 year. Probably in 3 years. It was a mistake and no, I am not joking. This is the Russian school. I play 20 pieces/ year and one concerto. I didn't say it's fun.  

Hmm...well, you said that "I did it when I was 5-6 years" so I thought you did it when you were 5-6 years old?

Anyways, that's a pretty tough thing you're doing right there. How many pieces have you done? 150? 200? Honestly, that's a lot. How the hell can a 15 year old do multiple concertos, over a hundred etudes, preludes, ballades, etc.? (considering most of the members here are already 20+ and don't even play 25% of what you do, lol)

How did you get into this? Are you planning to become a professional pianist? Where do you study? Do you go to school?

[pianovlad1996]

  There are some things about me:I'm student at the special Secondary Musical School from the St. Petersburg Conservatory (Rimsky-Korsakov). I want to become a conductor/pianist (you know like Ashkenazy and other). I said in the last post that it's not comfortably for me to play so much pieces but all the etudes,preludes, concertos, nocturnes and other pieces were performed for my repertoire. 40% of them were NOT performed for recitals or exams. I recently broke my left hand and I didn't want to attempt a difficult concerto ( I planned to perform the Prokofiev 2nd or the Rach 3 for the exam before the Chopin 1st but all of these failed). I chose Shostakovich 2nd for my exam but my teacher said it's too easy and gave me Beethoven 5th. . Sometimes, I want to gave up but I immediately remeber my purpose.

I didn't give you a complete answer so to continue:

I started playing at 3 years old
stopped at 17 after playing several concerts professionally -
took it up again at 69 and am now 73
I find the hiatus was horrendous and it took about 3 months to get the sheet music and the key board together and understand both, but I find it easier to learn now than in my youth because wisdom has given me many shortcuts and understandings that I didn't have before - especially understanding what the composer was doing.  I also find my facility better because I expect it to be and everyone seems to be in awe because I can really play the Minute waltz at a minute waltz speed - is that called ageism?
If you have suggestions for additions to round out my repertoire I am all ears - or rather eyes.

Hey - good for you! 52 years off and back in the saddle, er, on the bench, whatever. I find that rather inspiring.

Incidentally, if anyone wants proof that accompanists have more fun, my repertoire is listed under three separate tabs at

https://richardblack.pianoaccompanists.com/

I've done some solo stuff as well, of course, and spent last week playing duets and duos to illustrate a course that a friend was running, but the accompanying stuff is by far the bulk of what I've played in public.

There are some things about me:I'm student at the special Secondary Musical School from the St. Petersburg Conservatory (Rimsky-Korsakov). I want to become a conductor/pianist (you know like Ashkenazy and other). I said in the last post that it's not comfortably for me to play so much pieces but all the etudes,preludes, concertos, nocturnes and other pieces were performed for my repertoire. 40% of them were NOT performed for recitals or exams. I recently broke my left hand and I didn't want to attempt a difficult concerto ( I planned to perform the Prokofiev 2nd or the Rach 3 for the exam before the Chopin 1st but all of these failed). I chose Shostakovich 2nd for my exam but my teacher said it's too easy and gave me Beethoven 5th. . Sometimes, I want to gave up but I immediately remeber my purpose.

Well, cheers to your future career.

Anyways, it's my opinion that musicians should generally not busy themselves with so much repertoire. Internalization is important, and if you want to cram a dozen pieces a week you aren't going to have one of the major elements of music. This reminded me of the popular Indian musician Ravi Shankar - he and his teacher would concentrate on a single raga for 2 years, but according to him, these days, "a student would grumble" when he was given only 2 weeks to learn it!

Anyways, good luck to you and I hope you enjoy music at its best.

Gosh.

Some impressive repertoires on display!

Too many for me to list. I use the term repertoire to describe pieces I could play today, or, with a few hours practice, at some point in the very near future. To that end, mine is rather small!

I'm working on Balakirev's transcription of Glinka's Lark - a piece that is tough to play 'well' and working on Debussy's 'Ballade' - which is beautiful.

----------
I HAD been working on the Grand Polonaise Brillante, but I think it's just plain too difficult for me.  It's not the technique, but the voicing/pedalling/details are just something that I won't do justice to in 6 months of that (in addition to chamber music, accompaniment and my other stuff).  I started the scherzo just for the hell of it a few days ago, and it actually seems pretty easy... no awful jumps, the fast parts are extremely straightforward, and it has a lot of repetition.  It's also long enough for a standalone romantic work.  So I'm chickening out and changing to the scherzo haha!

So to everyone out there building up the Mephisto Waltz into this demonic work - it IS a beast, but I still think a lot of Chopin's stuff trumps it.  Liszt at least has a 'breath' into the cadenzas/coda in the MW, but Chopin dubs similar passages on top of the polonaise rhythm and that just blows my mind!

A question to all the 14-17 year olds in this thread: Where do you find the time to practice so much repertoire? Are you planning to study music in a conservatory/university, or is this just a hobby?

I'm 15 now, and I plan to professionally play piano. I try to play 5-8h daily. I find time by simply spending all my time on the piano :p

A couple of my videos, a little bit outdated since I've improved greatly by now.

[williampiano]

Is this supposed to be all the pieces you keep memorized and at performance level right now, or is it all the pieces you have learned and finished over the past years? Just curious, because I see people listing nearly 30 or 40 pieces and was wondering if they actually still consistently practice and keep that much repertoire at a performance level.

Rafael,
Awesome awesome playing!! Very impressed!! I always enjoy listening to a musician who has finesse, technique, and musicality. Your playing is very true to yourself. I wish you all the best, and keep working at it. Do keep us posted of your musical journey.

Damn.  The coda was surprisingly accurate for that speed in the Mephisto Waltz.  Nice!

Thanks! But now, I have reducued the tempo a little bit to hit all notes. Afterall, quality is more impressive and important than speed!
