Chopin preludes
on: October 13, 2009, 12:03:18 PM
I'm starting to study Chopin preludes and I've done a couple preludes before. Does anyone have a recommendation on which one i should start on?

superb cliché: 'Raindrops Prelude', or the slow one in C Minor.
1+1=11

What level are you at?  Have you played Chopin's preludes, or preludes by another composer.

I'd check out C minor, A major, E minor, B minor first.  They're pretty accessible.

C major, G major, Db major, E major and F major are some good ones, but tougher than the ones I just mentioned.

Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

Thanks everyone...I probably should have told you which ones I've played first...I've played E minor, B minor, D flat major, C minor, and G minor. I'm starting to study with a new teacher who I think will be really hard so she wants me to focus in on chopin's preludes.
