what to play?
on: June 21, 2007, 08:20:58 PM
Ok everybody i'm new here and this is my story. I am 16½ years old. i played the piano for a couple of years when i was about 8-10 but i quit because i was a child and didn't know better
. but now i started again for about 9 months ago and i think i am doing pretty well. i can play stuff like ballade pour adeline, the entertainer, in the mood and to zanarkand. the problem is i don't know what i want to play now. i have absolutely know idea. the classical stuff i have tried to play was kindda dull and i am just basically stuck. could you please give me some ideas of what to play or what to do from here on?
ps. i have a teacher.

I really think that you should ask your own teacher. What grade are you at now for piano?

You could do some Bach 2 Part Inventions or some of the easier Beethoven Sonata movements.

In fact we do! Even though it's not quite well-known. Check
www.epta.dk
- Perhaps your teacher is one of those. I recently passed my grade 6 exam, and it was nice to have a goal to work towards - I can recommend it! Even if your teacher is not affiliated with EPTA, you could still suggest it to him.
Anyway, I'd suggest talking to your teacher about your repertoire wishes, and perhaps post some of the pieces you've played here, so someone here could recommend some you might like.

The two part inventions are probably a bad idea, I imagine you would hate them.
Why don't you try something by Debussy?
There's the Arabesque no.1, Clair de lune, or The Girl with Flaxen Hair. Those aren't too bad (but would probably still be challenging) and I don't think you would be bored by them. Plus, everyone and their mother goes crazy about Clair de lune (my mother included).
