Learning Scarbo

[khantallis123]

Hi. I'm Arthur.
I planned on learning Scarbo a few measures daily. I know I have not gotten to the hard part yet, and you might say for me to forget about learning this piece, but I am very persistent and determined. I will practice very hard the places. It has, for years, been my wish to learn this piece. It is so enchanting and mysterious, some parts are probably the most soulful music ever written.
    Can you please help me get to my dream? Criticisism is obviously encouraged. Also can you please suggest tips for the later parts of the piece? The help is much appreciated, and I will value all your opinions. You are helping my dream come true.

Any tips? Or am I just WAY to bad?

I haven't ever played it, so can't really offer any tips at this point. It's not bad as a step on the way, but the advice you need to get it up to scratch will best come from someone who has been on the journey.

It goes pretty well until 1:30 or so. This part is hardly indicative of the difficulties to come, but I think you can do this if you set your mind to it.

Generally speaking if you have sound previous training and some natural talent then your motivation and commitment will usually allow you to handle pieces at and slightly above your difficulty limit if you are working on your own.  If you have a good teacher , then an even bigger jump can be successfully executed.

Best I can say is give it a whirl.  If you nail some of it and not others then out it away and come some years later, you may find your mid has worked out previous difficutly.  Even so. You would not exactly w a worse pianist for having tussled with a beast for a while and survived, is say you can go down that rabbit hole and come out all the better for it
