Piano Concerto?

[lisztmusicfan]

Okay, I am currently gearing up for a piano competition in February in which I will be performing the first movement of Beethovens Appasionata, Chopins Nocturne in C Minor op 48 no 1, and Debussy La soirée dans grenade. After all of this craziness is over, I hope to start work on a piano concerto but I'm not sure if it's too soon as I have only been playing for under a year. I don't know which one I would like to play (cause there are a bunch of them) but I already own some sheet music for the Grieg and Schumann. Would these be concertos that seem to fit my style and difficulty level, or would you reccomend something else? Or am I just not ready yet? I'm open to all comments, and thanks in advance.

Rach 1, idk why i'm always suggesting it, but i think its really cool and underplayed.  Idk if its too hard or not, maybe other people can decide that

I agree with mjames. I played the Rach 3 after one month of playing because I just believed. I learned the whole thing in a week and I think that'll be a good start to build up to a Mozart or the Haydn concerto. Good luck.

P.S. I'm not being serious.

Man, do you really think that with just one year of practice you're gonna be able to play professionally a PC? If you do, I'd suggest a Mozart concerto, as it requires a smaller orchestra to be put together. Schumann is very heavy on orchestration, I'd doubt you'd find somewhere to play it... Unless you're really good. But with only 1 year under your belt... tough.

tough.

Tough just begins to describe it.

That's the kind of answer that I was looking for. Thanks for the recommendation, I thought it was a little early also. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not trying to troll.

Honestly maybe a Haydn keyboard concerti or one of the easier Mozart concerti (aka not 20) if you're not trolling. Rach 3 if you are.

What about Mozart 21? That's a pretty popular one, and not incredibly difficult. Or 24 in C Minor. That one is beautiful.
