Thoughts on Chopin's Sonata No. 3?
on: March 02, 2016, 09:46:34 PM
I've recently fallen very deeply in love with this piece, and would very much like to learn to play it, but I'm concerned that it's technically too demanding. I would say the most difficult piece I have learned is his B-flat minor scherzo, which I can play well but not excellently. I know that the Sonata would be a huge undertaking, but is it likely that I'll find it completely out of my reach? The fourth movement in particular sounds quite daunting.

I'm working on the Finale now. It is very daunting and definitely the most challenging piece that I've ever taken on. I've been working on this piece for 3 months and have made it to the end but now have a lot of work to bring it up to performance level. It is a beautiful piece and one that I've loved for many years and thought about eventually playing. It is very challenging, but perhaps its beyond my abilities but I still soldier on and hope that one day, I will be able to perform this piece.
