When to start a concerto?
on: May 16, 2011, 11:01:13 PM
I'd just like to take a gather and ask a simple question..
When would be the best time to start a concerto?

I'm currently working on:
Chopin Polonaise Militaire op. 40. no. 1
Rachmaninoff prelude in g minor op. 23 no. 5
Bach Prelude and Fugue in c-sharp minor

and a few others.. if it helps, I could play the 3 mentioned pieces at performing standards as little as 3 months.

Would now be a good time to start a concerto?
If so.. what might you recommend?
Give me your thoughts. :D

Thanks!
