Piano Forum

     Hello! I am new to this forum so excuse me if I am posting in the wrong board. Please let me know if one of the other ones fits my post better. I recently finished up some repertoire I had been working on for the last 8 months or so. To give you a bit of my taste, this included Berceuse, The Appasionata, and a transcription of Hiromi Uehara's "Tom and Jerry Show". It's been a ton of fun but I'm looking to tackle something different.

     I recently decided on La Campanella because it just seemed like a ton of fun. My question is I'm looking for what to work on along side it. At first I was dead set on Chopin op. 10 No. 4  but at a second glance this thing is an absolute monster and seems pretty scary. I will probably work on it after this set. This leads me to decide between His First and Fourth Ballades. I don't really plan on performing these publicly so thinking of it as a set isn't at all important. I had originally leaned towards the first one but the fourth ones seems more...Complete? I am asking for your experiences with either and the things that you learned or appreciated more after playing them. Thank you so much!
