Favourite pieces...
on: April 09, 2011, 10:47:41 AM
Does anyone have a particular piece that they've loved playing/ pieces that they've heard that they would love to play? Just curious...  :)

uuu I've got quite a few, well currently I'm working on Rachmaninoff's prelude in B minor and i absolutely love it!! (especially the middle section, where it gets all dramatic  ;D)
and also i love hearing Chopin's polonaise in A flat, Op.53. i wish to learn it sometime, i just love it! It's so catchy, i always have the melody stuck in my head all day.
aaand also i like 1st Arabesque by Debussy. That one is just beautiful to play.
Keep that smile on that dial !

I'm in love with all the pieces I'm learning right now!
Especially Bach's French Suite no 5 (the Allemande)... it is just so pretty and I can just imagine myself in like... 18th century France! Oh and I like Chopin's nocturne op 27 no 1, it just seems to match my emotions so well when I'm upset ... I love it more every time I play it. Although I can't play either piece very well yet.
As for pieces I want to play, there are too many! Probably some Rachmaninoff. I can only play one of his pieces, the Etude Tableau op 33 no 8. Which is also really beautiful! But I like most pieces by Rachmaninoff, there's no way I can single one out! It's just that my teacher doesn't want me to play most of them, because a) they're too difficult for me and b) Rachmaninoff had big hands  ;D
And I'm really loving Ornstein's Arabesques right now.
