Beethoven Waldstein
on: February 25, 2011, 08:55:49 PM
Hello fellow students.

Having played for 7 months, I've taught my self to read sheet music and so.
I'm half way through Liszt's Nuages Gris, og done with Traumerei and Moonlight mvt 1 (plus a bunch of other pieces).

I was thinking about learning the 2nd movement of the Waldstein sonata. I've played a minute and a half of it so far. Do you think I'm good enough to learn the whole movement?

Hello,

It would be very interesting to hear you play some of those pieces you've mentioned. If you're self-taught, you may not be able to know if you're playing the pieces right, or just playing through the notes.
Sorry, but I can't advise you to play the Waldenstein Sonata after 7 months.
Currently:
Chopin Grand Valse Brilliante
Mozart Piano Sonata K 332
Scriabin Preludes Op 11 no.5,6,7
Bach Prelude and Fugue in G minor
