I Want to Learn Chopin's Ballade in G Minor

on: August 08, 2012, 06:26:10 PM

Hello everyone! I love Chopin's Ballade in G Minor, and I really want to learn it. However, I do not think that I am experienced enough.

This is a list of some pieces that are either in my repertoire or that I am currently working on.

Brahms' Rhapsody in G Minor
Beethoven Sonata No.17 in D Minor
Jardins Jardins Sous La Pluie from Estampes by Debussy
Mozart's Sonata No. 12 in F Major (only the first movement so far)
Schubert Impromptu No. 2 in E-Flat Major
Chopin's Nocturne No. 1 in B-Flat Minor
Prelude and Fugue in C Minor from the Well Tempered Clavier
Brahms' Intermezzo in A

What pieces would you recommend that I learn first before tackling the ballade?
