Nocturne Op. 27 No.2 (Chopin)
on: February 25, 2014, 01:49:45 AM
How does this piece compare, in terms of difficulty, to Clair de Lune and his 2nd Nocturne in Eb?

Just gonna go ahead and say it's too hard for you.


But if you love it, go for it.
Just here to lurk and cringe at my old posts now.

Is it really?

I'm saying this because I'm looking to learn 2 songs at the same time.

Already got to the final part of the C section from his Military Polonaise. And I this is my favorite nocturne, but don't want to really learn it and completely butcher it on performances.

Sight read through parts of it.  Not just the beginning.  Pick sections throughout the piece, especially those that you think may be challenging for you.  It will give you a better picture if you are ready for it. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Do this!


Also it might be better to wait and perform it later and pick an easier nocturne. Maybe op.55 no.1? Or really any other one except op.48 no.1 that one is harder than 27 2
