Tchaikovsky Waltz of flowers piano solo

on: February 20, 2013, 10:43:33 PM

Hi, I want to play this piece but most of the versions I find are too easy or are for full orchestra.
I want to play a solo, i don't know what my piano level is, i have played Chopin etude op10 no3 (fragment, trisstese), Massenet Aragonaise, Brahms Hungarian dances, this ones are easier but still: Yann tiersen L'absente and Valse D'amelie.

I don't know much about criticizing music, I have played for 6 years now and I'm trying to write music and improve as much as i can my performance.

You might be able to cope with the transcription by Grainger.

It is on IMSLP.

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't found anything about Grainger and the Waltz of flowers. Would you mind giving me a link?

There's also Tschaikovsky's own solo piano arrangement of it:
