B minor prelude...about the only piece I can tackle. T like Pogorelich's tempo! Gives me an excuse to play it slow.
I think op48 is special - the way the two themes become interwoven.

Suffering from the same problem now, it's still a bit irregular and slippy lol. Anyway, my last piece was his first concerto.

Mazurka Op 63/3. I love the mazurkas.

EDIT: although the way I play them, they're more like bezerkas...

Revolutionary Etude. It's my first etude and I'm working on accuracy and clearity.  :)
but now I'm held by my last exam in my undergrad studies...

Choped op10/4, my first chopin etude i learned but because i learned it the wrong way, i had to rest it and relearn after 2 years :p

I want to learn it next. Any advises not to learn it wrong?

I think the expression is the toughest part of it. I played it briefly (not to perfection), and my mom thought I was hesitating which note to play next.

Only the regular advices, learn without using the pedal, make sure your left and right 3,4,5 fingers are strong enough before beginning this one (try doing thirds-thrills with them) and skip playing the parts you already play better than the rest.

Hesitation is a great trick to use for slow tempo pieces like this one. In the opening section you can almost hesitate on every note.

I picked this nocturne up recently after having not-quite learned it a few years ago. For some reason I find the middle section more difficult than I remembered. I think I may have fallen prey to the "practice makes permanent" syndrome, so I moved on to something else...

op.27 no.2!


It's my favourite Choin nocturne.

I'm polishing on this one, but the "cadanza" part (don't know what it's called) is not consistently played when I switch from one piano to another, and I found myself playing these little notes better when I look away from my RH.  ???

Having fun with the double notes?

Actually I want to learn this as well.  ;)

That would make me a bit crazy - which would be good for the thread about not being normal.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Apparently 16 is the hardest, to judge from the Argerich and Kissin clips on Youtube!

I'm working on Chopin's Etude op. 10 no. 1, with a goal of quarter=140
One thing I didn't know it helped with until I played it was getting more familiar with distances between notes without being able to eyeball them, just having to have your fingers spread a certain distance apart. I may try to learn to play this without looking, I think that would help too.
I'm also working to bring out the right hand melody since I haven't heard many recordings do that well.

Haha, yes, it is sending me a bit silly at the moment. It's a great piece though - can't wait to be able to play this through fully. I think it's a real underrated/played Chopin gem (if Chopin ever does get underplayed).
