Hi, I'm new
on: February 12, 2008, 05:22:27 PM
Hi, everybody ! I'm new on this forum. Let me introduce myself. I'm a 21 boy. I started to learn the piano when I was 5 and I stopped when I was 10, because I didn't like my teacher. Some months ago, I began to play again without teacher. Here is what I can play :

Beethoven : sonata no. 20 opus 49 no 2, no. 14 Moonlight opus 27 no 2 (1st mvmt)
Mozart : sonata no. 5 KV 283 (1st mvmt) no. 16 KV 545 (1st mvmt)
Schubert : Moment musical no. 3 opus 94

I'm beginning to play J.S. Bach's WTC. I'm working the preludes no. 1 et no. 2. Those pieces might be esay, but I enjoy playing them. I'd like to improve my technique. What shall I play next ?

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

remarkable, if u just started practising again. try the italian concerto or beethoven's no.5 sonata. i'm 7 yrs ur junior so i don't think my advice would be of any great help.

I agree. You've managed top pick things up very quickly. You must have an excellent memory.
I would try a Haydn Sonata to round things out. My favorite in Hob. 52 in Eb.

Keep up the good work.

Thank both of you for answers. I'm now working on Bach Inventions and love them. I thought that the WTC was a bit difficult, so I wanted something easier. I can have worked on no.1, 2, 4  and I'm starting no.8. I love these pieces, they are very nice and I think they help me to progress.

When I'll have finished these inventions, I'll try this Haydn sonata. Thank you again.
