Newspaper article -- Amateur Pianist and Guardian Editor learns Chopin Ballade 1

on: January 12, 2013, 05:35:38 AM

I noticed this article in the Guardian newspaper today about their editor returning to the piano and learning Chopin's first ballade ... interesting (I thought!)...

Your link to the video seems to be broken and I don't get the article by clicking your link. The review of "Play it again: conquering Chopin's Ballade No 1" is here. There will be another one in the G2 section next Monday.

Very interesting! One of my adult students told me last week that she wants to prepare the ballade! I have the first 3 in my repertoire, and know how hard they are and can be, so despite telling her ok, I had my concerns. I'm more up for the challenge of teaching her the piece now after reading it and will pass her this article! Thanks for posting
