Chopin's miscellaneous

on: January 22, 2003, 09:49:48 AM

HI again

I was thinking if you pianists learnt any of chopins bits and pieces like allegro de concert, bolero, variations, berceuse, rondos, barcarolle etc..

What did you think of them?

I learnt the berceuse a few years ago...I wasn't ready for it and all I can say is...it was HARD.

Amee is right. The Berceuse requires the utmost in technical finesse and finger control. Extremely beautiful. The Barcarolle is also one of Chopin's most beautiful and difficult pieces. They both are worth any amount of work.
I personally don't care for any of the other miscellaneous pieces. I only know them from recordings.
