Next step?

on: March 10, 2011, 07:50:14 PM

Hi there, fellow students!

Now, being half way through the second mvt og Pathetique, and finish with 6 other pieces, including Träumerei, von fremden ländern und menschen and Moonlight mvt 1. I'd like a suggest for a new piece, perhaps the Bach inventions. But what do you suggest apart from that? A Chopin or a schumann piece would be wondreful!

Cheers, students.

Hi.

How about a Chopin nocturne?
The one in C-sharp minor is my favorite. Technically its not too challenging, but there's a lot to do with interpretation.
The nocturned in E-flat major and E minor are great also.

Well only you or your teacher can decide that I guess.
The rating system is not always the reliable way to judge whether or not you can play a piece.

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31. Piano Street’s members are invited to watch the livestream. Read more
