What should I learn next?
on: February 02, 2020, 06:30:36 PM
Hi there! About a month ago I finished the Nocturne in C# Minor by Chopin as well as the Waltz in A minor and the Valse d'Amelie and I was wondering what to play next. I want something harder enough to make me push myself throught the piece and improve my skills. Any recomendations ?

I would recommend that you look at the more difficult nocturnes, as you have only played one of easiest so far.

good thinking

....*visitor cannot ignore a good rep recommend thread to swing for it and knock a foul ball way out into the overgrown/overlooked side street vs staying in bounds/in play......
so many ways this can go given how skinny the background info is on OP, just wants harder   , a wide net is cast .

Settles on prelude no 3  from Tres Preludios por Piano , Piazzolla
Worth at the very least a listen, but mich more really , would recommend seeking out score and spending a good few months w this gem
