I'm stuck....... And need a kick!
on: May 29, 2011, 07:19:18 PM
Hello, my fellow piano students.

Right now, I'm stuck. I just can't seem to find a proper piece to start on. Recently, I learned the Consolation no. 3 in D-flat by Liszt, and the second movement of the "Pathétique" sonata by Beethoven.

I seriously need a suggestion for a new piece. Some movements of the Beethoven Sonata's would be splendid, but I will be open for almost any suggestion.

Cheers to everyone, and enjoy your Sunday! :)

It's hard to suggest what piece for you to learn.  How about going to a music
store and browse around.  I'm sure they will allow you to play on a piano to try
out  piece.

Why don't you learn the rest of pathetique? start with 3rd mov, and then you might be able to do the 1st.
