WHAT??? no no do not learn pieces way too difficult for you as you WILL learn them wrong and if they are pieces you love, then even when you do have proper technique it will be very hard to apply to a piece you have already learned wrong. my advice to you would be to get a teacher who will be able to properly asses where you are technically and assign pieces which will improve your technique without taking years to learn. if you do it right, it will not take you long to achieve your goals. good luck
I'd like to thank you all on your answers. I welcome each one of them. This forum does seem to be very interesting, active and with good people, so I'm bound to follow Bernhard's advice, definitely. Thank you once again.AlexP.S.: can any of you comment on Chuan Changs' book please? Here is the link. Once, I showed it to a teacher who cringed at the fact of it not having any music exercise per se. I don't know, what do you think?The link is herehttps://www.sinerj.org/~loyer/PianoBook/piano-practice-a4-10pt.pdfIt's free.
To improve or advance from one level to another in music you need 1) patience, and 2) passion.
99.9% of everything Bernhard says I agree with.
Only 99.9%? Best wishes,Bernhard.
Well, there's the bit about Hanon, and the ranking of Beethoven sonatas. Otherwise...did we have the same teachers??
