What etudes should I play?
on: July 15, 2017, 01:31:48 PM
Hi guys,

I would like to ask you for some advices about etudes.
Currently I am working on:

Debbusy's Arabesque no. 1
Chopin's nocturne in C-sharp minor op. posth
Chopin's waltz in c-sharp minor op. 64 no. 2
Albeniz Pavana Capricho op. 12

I need two etudes around this level. Do you have any ideas? I would like them to be "interesting", that's the only requirement :)

What sny of us may find interesting you might consider very uninteresting .... at least that happens to me frequently  

That being you might look at this Henslet etude

Or Scriabin

Thank you guys for your replies!
Your pieces are indeed interesting but, they're all on the level 8+ and for now they might be a little bit too tough (I mean Brahms and Scriabin).
I would rather choose something on the level 7 - 8 :)

Look at Burgmuller or maybe a Chopin etude like op 10 no 6 and 25 no 2 for example.

Not sure what op poster meams w level 8+ 7  8 etc
The Dvorak etude i posted first is most definitely around late intermediate to early advanced at most

Similar here, it is fast but the actual writing of the piece isnt so bad, alwaya liked this little Tchaikovsky etude [op 40 no 1], below Pletnev plays and nails it
