Ravel-La Valse
on: January 01, 2012, 04:44:12 AM
Hi, I'm new to this forum.  I just learned the Beethoven Hammerklavier and a Rachmaninoff prelude and I was thinking about some new pieces.  One of the pieces I've always dreamed of playing is Ravel's La Valse, but I do realize the sheer magnitude of this piece.  Would anybody have any suggestions as to some pieces I should play to get my technique and musical ability to the level of this (pleasant) nightmare?  Thank you in advance.
