Hey guys, I am 25 years old and have been playing piano for about 8 years on and off and I'm wondering when should I start learning more difficult pieces. I want to be able to play pieces by Liszt some day but I've never tried to.
Thanks for the feedback everybody, I haven't heard much of Schumann's work or Clemente's so I'll check them out. Would you say that Schumann's pieces are more difficult than Mozart's sonatas? I probably didn't look at Clemente's music much because I looked at Mozart and Haydn. I'm also a fan of Scarlatti, Mendelsohn, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev but haven't learned any material from them yet. Any suggestions to particular pieces that would increase my knowledge for note patterns? I see Liszt do a lot of difficult stuff that other composers did not and I think that is why I am interested in his music.
I'm also a fan of Scarlatti, Mendelsohn,
I just listened to Schumann's sonata no.1 and I liked it, I'll find some more of his stuff. I feel that some of Beethoven sonatas would be easier to play than Schumann so maybe I should work on Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata Op.13 first and come back to Schumann later on.
