Hi

I am new to this group and my name is Andrew.

I am preparing for my LRSM examination and hoping to take it at the end of 2005. It would be great to have some comments on my proposed programme:

4 Scarlatti keyboard Sonatas
4 op. 10 etudes (1,3,5 and 6) - Chopin
Rachmaninoff variations on a theme by Corelli.

I am 29 years old and over the last few years have devoted a lot of time to Mozart and Bach. Then, by surprise, i found i could play works like the Chopin and Rachmaninoff much better than previously.

Has any one else experienced this natural progression in ability?

Also, any suggestions on how to approach a lwrk like the rachmaninoff when starting from scatch?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew Martin
