Too Big of a jump?
on: December 28, 2007, 08:20:38 PM
I just got finished with the Grieg Concerto, and I want to start the Chopin Op. 11 concerto.  Would that be too much of a jump?  If so, could you reccomend me any other concerti?

It really depends on who you are, and where your technique is at.  If you got through the Grieg with relative ease, then of course, any of the Chopin would be excellent concerti to learn.  I know of people that have gone from Grieg to Rach 2, or Tchaikovsky.  However, I've also seen some people play Grieg that probably should have never learned the piece in the first place.

I think it's a good choice.

The choice is fine, provided you are comfortable with the Grieg. Have fun.
