Appassionista
on: June 26, 2012, 01:18:42 AM
Hey people!
This is my first post on the forum...just so you know.
I am a highschooler who has been playing piano for about 5-6 years. I guess the toughest piece I can play is the Entertainer, and I would say a Mozart sonata but i forget exactly which one it is :P

I recently heard the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Appassionista sonata (if i spelled that right) and thought it was AWESOME, so i printed out the music. it is HARD. I really want some of the expert's advice whether it is possible for me to play this now with enough practice, or if not, how i can get from the skill level i am at now to be able to play that. Thanks for your time!
