For my spring concert on May 17th I wish to perform one of the two pieces above both by my favorite composer, Frederic Chopin. Which one if I practiced every day for at least a half hour starting in january could I have ready by then. With the ballade I would perform the first 4 minutes 37 seconds and transition into 6 minutes 12 seconds into the piece until the end. I used this interpretation for timing

or the entire waltz see this interpretation
