A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

I finally got the 12 transcendental etudes!

I finally got the printed version of the 12 transcendental etudes!
I was gonna touch up Wilde Jagd and start Chase-niege and Erioca
Maybe restart Mazeppa and Feux Follets
Any recommendations?

I would try the easier, slower ones too - Ricordanza, Paysage, and Harmonies du soir. Probably not as difficult as the really insane fast pieces but they're so beautiful.

Just do whatever you want, if you're really good enough to play Feux Follets.

I'd like to add #1 to the list(z)t as well. It'd probably be a nice warm-up for the rest.
Couldn't agree more with transitional, though. If you really can do Mazeppa and Feux Follets, do whichever ones you want.
