what to play next?
on: March 03, 2009, 07:57:17 PM
Hello! which do you prefer waltz 0pus 64 no. 1 or 2? or waltz e minor? the E minor is kinda tough but my teacher said i should not think about it because he knows i can play them. I really like all of the pieces but which piece should i play next?

I've played my first chopin waltz opuus. 70 no.2.

I personally think the e minor is gorgeous, but you have to decide for yourself. Listen to all of them (you can probably find them at www.pianosociety.com) and try and see if you can come up with one you like the most. If you can't decide, do you really need to chose one? Will it harm your skills to learn two or three waltzes? I don't think so. Budget your time so you can get all of them in, eventually. Don't rush yourself. Take the time to learn what you want to learn.

Go for the Waltz Op 64 # 2! It's damn fun to play and not that hard! You'll love playing the "più mosso" part aaw
I simply love that piece and you can find your own way to perform that piece! Rubinstein, when people asked him how he could continue to play the same waltz for over 75 years, replied: “Because it’s not the same, and I don’t play it the same way.”
=D

And that's so true! ;)
