Beginners concerto

[etudediabolo]

Hi all.
I need recommendations for a first concerto, in accordance with a thread I started a bit ago. You can also see my previous rep in that thread. I love interpreting Chopin if that's any help, but I have no idea of the difficulty of his works. I love Beethoven, but I hear they're also pretty challenging
Thanks!

If you like Beethoven you could check out the 2nd Concerto. The 3rd possibly too. The third has some rather challenging parts so check out all the fast parts of the 3rd movement to see if its within your abilities.

Is there any easier or short ones, just out of interest?

There is a Mozart concerto in A major that I have seen many people play as their first concerto. Can't remember which one but maybe others can help out. Mozart does come with challenges though.

Thanks! I'll take that into consideration

You should try some of the bach concertos! The d minor was my first concerto it is not easy but manageable. Or the f minor is easier, and the a major is fun. Check those out they are formidable music!

Would you say the F minor is the best to check out first out of those?

I believe there are some great suggestions on this post, but if you're trying to take on a romantic concerto, I believe the Grieg Concerto in A minor is most beginner friendly out of Romantic Concertos.

Yes it is definitely the easiest overall but it has theirtricky parts too
