What level is Vivaldi variation?
on: January 03, 2021, 11:08:51 AM
Could anyone tell me how difficult this piece is?
I've just learned how to play this after 3 months of lazy learning. It was quite a jump from gymnopedie for me when i started piano in the summer. I feel like I'm ready to learn anything now after spending my holiday actually learning the piece rather than just practicing what I already know, but I just want to pace myself rather than be too adventurous again, so knowing the difficulty would help me understand what kind of pieces I should play next
any thoughts and piece suggestions would be appreciated

I don't understand your question. You said you just learned the piece. Wouldn't you know how difficult it is to learn since you just went through it? I don't get it.
Also just fyi a piece is not just its notes at tempo speed. Lot of pieces are more difficult than they actually look because of the demands of every musical instruction on the pages from phrasing to dynamics to articulation. That is where truthful learning of a piece actually comes in.
Edit..i just listened to it the video. The piece doesn't seem all too complicated and just sounds like one of those contemporary easy classical music compilations distilled down to a right hand melody and a left hand chordal accompaniment. Shouldn't take too long to learn but for some like me it may take me forever bc it takes me forever to learn uninteresting music

It looks somewhere between grades 4-6 to me. Around an easy-intermediate level.
You could probably try your hand at an easy Chopin walt (such as that in A minor) as the experience with the waltz-like accompaniment could transfer.

I already had another piece in mind by the time I finished this piece before seeing this advice,
But amazingly that’s piece is also a waltz in A minor
So fantastic advice nevertheless thank you very much
