Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more >>

How difficult is Chopin's opus 22 Andante Spianato?
on: December 23, 2016, 05:07:13 PM
Dear people from Pianostreet,

Last week I finished Debussy's Clair de Lune and now i'm looking for a new piece to study. Chopin's Andante Spianato always has been one of my favorites and it seems technically manageable.
I have done some research on how hard this piece is but without success. Every source was talking about Andante Spianato AND Grande Polonaise, but what is actually the difficulty of the Andante Spianato itself?
I hope you guys can help me out  ;D

Kind regards,
Dinant.

You can handle it. Although the fioraturas require a different touch and technique to anything you've encountered in the Debussy, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Enjoy learning it. : )
