What piece would you like to learn next?

[shasta]

Hi everyone.

If you could select from all the piano music out there (solo or ensemble), what piece would you like to master next and why?

[donjuan]

Grand Galop Chromatique - Liszt

I tried this one once, finished learning the notes, but I couldnt play it worth anything

[shasta]

I think mine would be Rach's Variations on a Theme of Corelli and Chopin's Barcarolle.

[Motrax]

Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen the Corelli Variations mentioned by someone besides myself! I'm working on it already (though slowly - I probably work on it just once or twice a week, if only not to completely lose what I have so far). What a beautiful piece of music!

I'd want to be able to play the Sorabji Sonata (the famous 4.5-hour-long one), because if I could suddenly be able to play that, I'd gain a great deal of technique which would make learning other pieces easier. It'd be no fun to just suddenly be able to play anything - part of music is working on a piece in order to develope it into something you yourself can be proud of.

[shasta]

Rock on, Motrax. Yeah, I'm in love with Rach's Corelli's, too.  Such an amazing work that is surprisingly overlooked (as well as his Chopin Variations).

[larse]

I would attempt to learn all the pieces I wanted to play but never did. I never played a Chopin Nocturne: I would definately learn Fm and C#m.
But there's lots to choose from. I never played the Tempest sonata by Beethoven, which I think I should. And Waldstein. And Hammerklavier(but I think I'll let that rest for now...). Then, there's lots of Prokofiev Sonatas. ie No 7 and 8. Rach Prelude in C#m I never played. And...The Cello and Piano Sonata by Chopin. I started it with a Cellist, but she suddenly moved to Denmark...Liszt Hung. Rhapsodie no 2 and La Campanella would also be a choice. off..When I get old, I'll have alot to do...

[klavierkonzerte]

 clara schumann piano concerto.

it's one of the best concertos
i can't belive she started  writing it at 14 it sounds as mature as brahms concertos.

i'm definitly adding it to my repertoir if anyone has the pdf please send it to me.

[DarkWind]

1. Ravel's Toccata from Le Tombeau de Couperin
2. Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum or his Sonata (so I can play anything else on earth   )
3. Prokofiev's Toccata or Sonata No. 7.

[Tash]

1)chopin barcarolle
2)prokofiev toccata
3)bartok piano concerto no.3
like everything!

[klavierkonzerte]

and i want 2 add

1)grieg ballad
2)scriabin concerto

[shasta]

I'd also like to learn more Joplin and take on some of Charles Ives studies for piano.

[Max]

Er...can't think of one. I want to get my hands of the score for Mozarts K497, but it's hard to get (well I'm finding it so).

[pseudopianist]

1."Chopin - Piano Concerto in F minor Largohetto" This piece is as beautiful as it gets. I would kill to preform it with an orchestra.

2."Chopin - Piano Concerto in E minor Romance"  This one has brought a tear to my eye onces and probally will agian. This is the only movement I like from the E minor concerto.

3."Chopin - Ballade in G minor" (Show of piece number one. )It has a great theme, and it is just simpley breathtaking.

[Lilo]

I'd like to learn liszt's reminiscences de Robert le diable a(but i will never   my hands are so tiny) and then his hungarian rhapsodies n°4 and 2... (and fantasia on hungarian folk themes)
his "totentanz" (paraphrase uber dies irae) is also wonderful...   (I'm just dreaming of playing this last one, it's insanely difficult...)

[benji]

Liszt's "Au bord d'une source." This piece is one of my favorites to listen to. It's just so unbelievably beautiful. This piece is one of the few that actually depicts what it's named for.

Realistically: Chopin's op.10, no.12. I like the energy, and my left hand is too dependent on my right.

[ahmedito]

Ligettis etudes

[mh88]

1. Rach - concerto 3
2. Liszt - Reminiscences du Don Juan de Mozart
3. Scriabin - op. 8 - no. 3

[Clare]

I would like to learn Scriabin's 6th sonata. I can play about 4 notes of it so far........

[johnjwong]

Liszt - Don Juan starting from page 25
Chopin Etudes - Ocean, Atlanta, Revolutionary, Winter Wind

[Will Millar]

Rachmaninoff - Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini... All 24 variations.

Also I am "un-orchestrating" Night on Bare Mountain for Piano solo - so that aswell

Will

[liszmaninopin]

tough question-there's so much!

Here's what I am either presently working on or plan to work on in the near future:

Rautavaara Sonata no. 2
Sessions Sonata no. 2
Ligeti's Desordre, Autumn in Warsaw, and Der Zauberlehrling
Violette Sonata 6
Chopin op. 25 #12
Prokofiev Sonata #7
Ravel's Ondine and Le Gibet
Beethoven's op. 111

Really, the repertoire is so vast-I sometimes have difficulty just deciding what to work on next!

[abe]

CHopin's Fantasie in F, and also Ballade in Gm.

[bachmaninov]

I cant wait to start learning Schumanns Tocatta!

Have a listen to Liszt's other water piece "Les Jeau D'eau a la Villa d'Este" --> SImilar to "Beside a Spring", it really depicts a fountain well too.

2. Liszt - Reminiscences du Don Juan de Mozart

donjuan

[Sketchee]

I'm thinking of Sonetto 47 del Petrarca for my next piece and then 123.  I know 104 so it'd be nice to complete the set and eventually learn all of Italie.

I just remembered I'm assigned Beethoven's third sonata though so it might be a while before I get to any of that.  I'm still working on Chopin Scherzo No 2 which I just finished memorizing for the most part and have to work up to performance level.  Bleh!

[Pumpkinhead]

yeah, I have that Scherzo too Sketchee. actually, I'm barely starting it on the coda, any advice?

[Sketchee]

My professor has me practicing very slowly. Way slower than I usually practice!  Practicing in sections makes sense considering the length.  Slow practice helps ease the fatigue as well.

[Pumpkinhead]

Yeah, exactly. The fast passages in the middle require tons of slow practice, at least 3 days for me.

[Shagdac]

Schumann's "Variations on the name Abegg, Op.1
Schumann-Liszt "Widmung"
Gottschalk's "Bamboula" and "LaJota Aragonesa"



S     (Have started Widmung, will start the others in a couple weeks as well).

[Spatula]

In my life as a hobbying pianist I wish to at least learn lest perform:

Liszt - Hun Rap No 2, Campanella

Grieg - PC in A minor op 16

Beethoven - Appassionata

Rach - PC No 2, I'll be lying to myself for the 3rd

Chopin - PC Nr 1, Prelude Nr 16 & 24, Etudes Op 10 Nr 4 & Op 25 Nr 12, Sonata Nr 1 4th Movement, Sonata Nr 3

Schumann - Concerto without an orcheastra in F minor, PC Nr 1

Tchaikovsky - PC Nr 1

And right now I'm working on (saying this like 6 times now but I don't mind)

Chopin - Fantasie Imp, Rach Prelude Nr 5 Op 23

[goansongo]

The first 10 seconds to Hoobastank's "The Reason."

[jcromp78]

The Samuel Barber piano concerto, wow!!
The Corelli Variations are extraordinary but after hearing Mikhail Pletnev play them I might think twice.
I also like The Tchaikovsy Second Concerto and the Concert Fantasy. I have tried to play through both a few times and fared ok with both.

[chopiabin]

I really want to work on Scriabin etude op.8#12, or op.42#5

[super_ardua]

HR2 because I feel like it

[Sketchee]

Hmm, I didn't remember posting in this thread but I come here and there I am! I was going to say the exact same thing as I apparently already said ... Except I've already started on Sonneto 47 and am just at the cadenza now

I have a new easy Chopin Waltz "L'adeiu" (whatever the opus) assigned by my that took all of 4 hours to memorize on monday and now (Friday) I feel like I've known it forever.  After I finish with 47 I really want to learn Schubert-Liszt Erl King.  I can play it decently with the music but it's one I love and want to memorize

[Rob47]

I've always wanted to play Gaspard de la nuit, but I'm having trouble enough with my boy Stravinsky's transcprition of that stupid doll Petrouchka. But unlike Ravel its just plain awkward plaing Trouchka. Ravel at least wrote Gaspard for the Piano. Trouch is not a piano piece like someone on this forum already told me. Idon't remeber who. Maxy? Daevern? one of you two I don't remember who but you're defeineltly right!

Anyway, ya one day I want to play Gaspard like Thrazzacog ( is that how you spell it?) or like my homey Ivo Pogorelich.

your friend

Rob

[Max]

I wanna finish these Op.14 Beethoven thingys, then I'm heading back for some Debussy etudes. (no.11)

[luda888]

all of chopin's etudes

[kw13091984]

Goldberg Variations, I figure if i learn one a month i should have them all learned by the time im 40! Only (half) kidding!
