someone please respond =(
For the future (maybe 3 1/2 years from now) I REALLY want to play the Rapsody by Brahms Op. 79 no.2
Well, in our conservatory, if you're playing Beethoven Sonatas, you are classified as Level 10. My repertoire includes: Gradus Ad Parnassum by Clementi, Bach's Prelude & Fugue, Bartok Mikrokosmos Bk. 6 & Chopin Nocturne. Maybe you could try to play some from those books.

What recording do you have? I have Radu Lupu.
...If you can play fur elise then you ought to be able to tackle Claire De Lune. Its a very beautiful piece, i would say just a little harder then fur elise, but it wont take you anytime to learn it... Also...Fur Elise has a second movement, if you havent already played it, try it out.
I played the entire Fur Elise, I think ... is it part of the Fur Elise or does it have a different name becuase if it is part of the Fur Elise I think I have played it. I really would like to play the Claire de Lune but can you recommend any pieces I could play to prepare myself for it? :-/I also would like the play the entire Moonlight Sonata so I guess I'll have to wait /quote]I really do not believe you need to "prepare" yourself for Claire De Lune. Fur Elise was enough preperation for it. Just attach it. Its a beautifully simplistic piece. You dont have to wait on Moonlight sonata. Start with the first movement, get some more reportoire behind you, then get after the next two movements
...Fur Elise has a second movement, if you havent already played it, try it out.
Is there actually a second movement to Fur Elise? Is there sheet music that I can find as proof? What's the second movement called? Is this an internet joke?
OK!!! To let everyone know, yes there is actually sheet music. My ex-piano teacher had one of her students play it for recital. Thats all i know about it...I need bernard or someone who has probably played or seen it to back me up!!!
Whoever mentioned that Fur Elise had more “movements” was probably referring to the two “difficult” sections(bars 45 – 61 and bars 81 – 105). As you may or may not know, Richard Clayderman loves to play Fur Elise. But he only plays the first part (bars 1 – 44). So if that is what you are used to hear, when you actually hear the whole unadulterated piece, you may well be forgiven to think that it has more than one “movement”.
Fur Elise (WoO59) was sketched in 1808, and completed either in 1809 or 1810. It was presented to “Elise” (Actually Therese Malfatti) on the 27 April 1810.In this thread:https://www.pianoforum.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=repo;action=display;num=1091424096Nana_Ama suggests that the Bagatelles WoO 60, WoO 61a and WoO 61 are “movements” of Fur Elise.How? Why? Where do these ideas come from? They have no relationship (musical or otherwise) whatsoever to Fur Elise. They are small piano pieces, never published in Beethoven’s lifetime. Check out the composition dates (they were composed 8 – 15 years after Fur Elise).WoO 60 – Bagatelle in Bb – composed in 1818, its sketches are juxtaposed with the ones for the Hammerklavier, which is also in Bb.WoO 61 – Allegretto in B minor – composed in 1821.WoO 61a – Allegretto quasi andante in G minor was written as a souvenir for Sarah Burney Payne on 27 September 1825. It is a tiny piece just 13 bars long and like the other two has nothing whatsoever to do with Fur Elise.Now here is my interpretation. Whoever mentioned that Fur Elise had more “movements” was probably referring to the two “difficult” sections(bars 45 – 61 and bars 81 – 105). As you may or may not know, Richard Clayderman loves to play Fur Elise. But he only plays the first part (bars 1 – 44). So if that is what you are used to hear, when you actually hear the whole unadulterated piece, you may well be forgiven to think that it has more than one “movement”. Either that or someone is having fun. Best wishes, Bernhard.
This is the Beethoven Sonata "Facile." It the only Beethoven Sonata you can't play for auditioning at Julliard.I don't think you can classify that in repertoire, as it's more of a techinical exercise. Else I could add Hanon to my repertoire!You could try playing some Chopin Waltzes or Preludes, or the Bartok Mikrokosmos.
ARE YOU SURE? The only reason i'm questioning you is because i had the full Fur Elise and my ex piano teacher told me that she needed to get me the second movement. She said it was very beautiful and that she had one of her other piano students play it for recital? I'm sooo confused now its not even funny.
Thanks for that info. I was not aware that Beethoven Sonata in Eb Major (No.13) is also called "Facile". What does it mean? And why is it not allowed for auditioning at Julliard?
"Facile" measn easy, and I believe Darkwind is referring to Op. 49 no.2, not to no. 13It is not allowed for auditioning because it is too easy. It was probably composed as an exercise for Beethoven's pupils, and published behind his back by his brother (Betthoven was furious, but he mellowed down once he say the cheque).Best wishes, Bernhard.
