[frederic]

Hey people

I am about to start the Chopin Piano Sonata No. 3 and i was wondering if you masters can give my some advice.

Thanks

Hi there,

I played the third sonata a couple of years ago.  I found it an enormous challenge, requiring much musical intellect, craft, technical artistry, and emotional maturity to bring its sublime qualities to the surface.  Not that I was entirely successful ...    Be prepared to commit yourself to a large-scale project if you truly want to play it ...

It's an extraordinary piece ... enjoy the challenge!

There must be heaps more people playing this or have played this.
Thanks
