Can I play Un sospiro with my level?

[m1kes_]

So I would like to start studying Un Sospiro but I don't know if my level is high enough since I read on the website that the level is 8+.

The hardest pieces that I have played (in my opinion) are:

- Czerny Op. 740 No. 50
- Czerny Op. 740 No. 41
- Bach Prelude and Fugue in D Major BWV 850
- Bach Prelude and Fugue in D Minor BWV 851
- Rachmaninoff Prelude in C-Sharp Minor Op. 3 No. 2
- Debussy Arabesque No. 1

If you're an adult working on your own, go ahead and give it a try - - I think adult students should play what interests them.  The Czerny etudes you mention are not easy.  If you don't have a teacher you get can your questions answered here or on FB groups.

I am studying at conservatoire, I have my rep but I'd like to study it by my own.

What does your professor say?

Fwiw the Earl Wild/Schirmer edition has helpful rearrangements, good ideas to make a couple spots more playable.

Go for it the best motivation  is wanting to play it.
Just be mindful of your time. Think like this: either it is " impossible to play" or it is "easy".
the difference is the time it takes to  learn it. Be mindful of the time. Also practice enough slow.
You can also try together with this one Chopin OP 25 nr 1 as it is "arpeggio-related"
The most difficult part however is the page with the octaves (3rd page IIRC?)
