What do I learn next?
on: January 15, 2017, 11:39:17 PM
I'm taking a hiatus from piano lessons until the summer or fall for various reasons, and I'd like to keep improving my technique.
What I've learned since last July:
Beethoven, Pathetique, 2nd movement
Debussy, La fille aux cheveux de lin
Shostakovich, Prelude #1
Bach, Two-Part Invention #1 (C major)
At this point, I'm not sure what to learn next. Most of the stuff that I -do- want too learn is too hard. This would include the Chopin c# minor waltz and the Suite Bergamesque prelude by Debussy. My interests are mainly in late-Romantic and 20th century music (Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Ravel, Debussy, Prokofiev, etc.).
I'm mainly interested in some repertoire that I can have to play for my teacher once I meet up with him again in the summer/fall that I can pull together in 2-3 hours a week of practice. Do any of you have recommendations, given this information? I've had a hard time learning fast pieces - most (if not all) of the pieces I've learned are at a slow to moderate tempo, so something fast that would be doable in that time frame for me would be great.
