Adding more pieces to your repertoire FAST

[chopinlover23]

Hi everyone!! GREETINGS, I just wanted to know how you can add more pieces to your repertoire quickly? I really need some help, so whenever I have a recital and I have a large list of pieces that I can play, I can just make my program out of what I know.

Thanks =D

 That really is too individual an question to be reasonably answered. Some people can learn really quickly, even being able to sight read at a good enough level where they sound musical from the start. I learn really slowly, and have to basicly play my pieces a lot to remember them. So I spend much more of my practice time on pieces I already play than most would. It sounds to me like you are more like me and need to keep up with your old pieces, don't drop them just because you are learning something new.

Try selecting pieces that are less difficult.  You don't need to have all your pieces at the difficulty level of Mazeppa.  Pick pieces that are easily manageable, and that you could learn in less than a week.
