Well I may as well entertain your rubbish.
Who HONESTLY suggests that La Campenella was an easy piece for them?
Who HONESTLY claims to be learning some of the hardest pieces such as Un Sospiro and Chopin Ballads and claims not only that they are not a good pianist, but also have the time to be able to practice OTHER pieces as well.
Finally who, who could even perform such level of pieces and would still need advice for other pieces on that level. If you can even play the pieces anything at all like they are supposed to be played, surely you have had some sort of musical education or done some research, who learns Chopin's 3rd ballad without having considered the first?
Who loves Liszt and can play at that level and not have Rhapsody no.2 in their repetoire?
Who learns pieces at such a virtuoso level and then still concerns them selves with pieces such as the 1st movement of the moonlight sonata.
Nothing you are saying makes logical sense. Post some auditions and if you can even hit the right notes at speed on any of these pieces (I wont even listen for musicality) you will receive my most humble apologies.
I wont hold my breath
Wow you were being serious
ok then.
1) At no point did i say La Campanella was easy, so i might as well copy and paste what i said in a previous reply. I said Liszt's works come easier to me and that La Campanella was an exception to my current skill level. I know it isn't easy because i still fatigue when i play it if im not careful, but it wasn't as bad for me to learn as many others, namely my teacher, who is 10x better than me. My peers and sometimes my teacher can comment on how difficult some of the liszt pieces are but liszt comes easier to me that people like Beethoven or ravel. Easier doesn't mean easy, cmon, keep up.
2) If you think Un Sospiro is one of the hardest pieces you really need some education XD once it feels right under your hands and you get a nice flow its quite easy, if you want, I can give you tips if your struggling.
3)Before i started year 12 in September i had so much time on my hands! I was young and carefree and didnt have any exams, and i practiced a lot. Im also told that i have a knack to remembering pieces and its true that i don't really ever forget how to play something once i have a few times, but thats just lucky genes from my dad.
4) I tend to focus on Liszt and romantic pieces too much and end up learning a lot of pieces of that style, its not a bad thing, but theres no harm in getting a second opinion, there are pieces i am considering already, but i wanted to see if anyone could surprise me with a hidden gem of such.
5) Interestingly i started to play the rhapsody when i was younger, but decided to put it away for a few years as neither i or my teacher felt I was able to do its playful nature justice at that time. But i will definitely do it in the future. Just because i dont have that piece, doesn't mean I dont love Liszt tht much, believe me, i do! XD But you make yourself sound silly when you say such things, just a tip.
6) I think this is the lynchpin for the failure of your argument. I didn't realise i needed to explain to someone that the piano is a MUSICAL instrument, not purely a MECHANICAL one. I play the moonlight sonata because I like it, simple as. I don't have to play hard pieces all the time just because i can, I don't pick pieces based on difficulty, but whether i like them. If you really want some of my life story then ill tell ya XD The moonlight sonata 1st mvt is one of the first pieces ive played and ive definitely grown with the piece, even to this day, im making alterations to my interpretations of the piece. Its a great piece for the right occasion. You don't see people being angry with concert pianists for playing Liszt's Consolation No.3 which is relatively easy (oh no another famous Liszt piece i dont play! smite me!), do you?
Unfortunately, your comments don't make you come across as much of a musician at all so, and i hope ive helped you understand the error of your ways :')
7) I am very busy atm with exams and such but i will get a recording of a piece you want, (if only i could see your face when i do XD)
