Chopin op. 10 no. 12 (Revolutionary Etude)

[dymplox]

Hello everyone, i'm a 14 year old guy who have played piano for 2 years. My dad is a very good pianist, and me and him started Learning the revolutionary etude. I have trained on it for 4 months (ik its a long time but i havent really played piano so long so i sort of suck lol) and now i'm at the last section of the piece, at page 5. I can play the piece pretty well, (expect the last page which im practicing on) and im wondernig what pieces i should start playing next? Is there any similiar difficulity levels on some pieces to revolutionary perhaps? I sort of want to learn chopin's ballade no.1 but i feel that i may not be ready for it yet, what do you guys Think?  Additional information: I practice piano around 1-2 hours per day.

Post a recording or a video. If you can really play 10/12 at a high standard, then the G minor Ballade should be within your reach, although it is a long piece and you must expect that it will take longer than a 3 minute etude.

Four months isn't very long. I learned op. 10/12 back in the year 2000, when I was 12.
It wasn't until 13 years later that I made a recording I'm happy with.

No pupil in my studio would be studying the works of Chopin after only two years. Perhaps, if they insisted on playing Chopin, I would give them one or two of the easier preludes or waltzes. But op. 10/12 is pretty hardcore. Famous pianists like Yefim Bronfman use it for an encore!

I think you should enjoy something little easier, something you can learn for 1-3 months so you can really enjoy music... later you can do more complected stuff. Good luck!
