Mozart for beginners
on: October 14, 2013, 01:08:01 AM
Hey guys. I'm looking to play some Mozart pieces. Can you give me some pointers about what pieces you would start with? What pieces are more intermediate and then advanced etc.

I want to listen to him music a little more and understand what's out there before I try my hand at anything, don't want to be throwing myself into a piece that above my skill level!

Im a self taught pianist of 3 years. Hope you can help!

Why not start with the Sonatinas? They're quite a good introduction.

one of my favorites is his Rondo in D major, but i'm not sure you should try it yet.
Any thoughts on that piece?
