Easiest etudes to memorize?

[musicsdarkangel]

This could be any composer (though it would be nice to see some Chopin, Liszt, Czerny, Moszkowski)

The other thread actually influenced me to post this, because it is always refreshing to learn something simple to memorize which has technical benefits.


For me so far, Chopin etudes op 10 no 1, Ocean Etude, and 25 no 6 (thirds) are all easy to memorize.

I have not dove into Liszt that much so I am not sure about that.

Recommendations?

Yeah Chopin 25/12 is relatively easy to memorize, no 10/1 is quite straightforward from mem side but def not from technical side. op10/8 is also not so bad to memorize. I would say the Chopin etudes are generally less dense and texturally complicated so may be easier for some to memorize than the Liszt ones - but really depends how your brain receives information.

[pseudopianist]

Chopins 10:1
Liszts First TE study

[Waldszenen]

I think I'll get killed for saying Chopin's Op. 10 No. 4.

i think alkan's comme le vent is very easy to memorize

i was reading thru the first page few days ago i found it very easy to memorize i don't know about the rest of the eutde and i didn't listen to a recording of it but if the hole etude is like the first page i think it would be very easy.

debussy - chromatic etude

debussy - chromatic etude

is that one really easy? I have always enjoyed that etude and the repeated note etude oh and the first one also. Shoot most of them really.

Easiest to memorize I know- Czerny Etudes Op.299, 535, 636
Chopin Etudes 10/1, 10/9, 10/12, 25/1, 25/6, 3 new etudes(except for the 3rd one)

la campanella was pretty easy for memorize, the same thema, expressed on different ways

[BoliverAllmon]

[chromatickler]

Alkan's 39/8

[nanabush]

Easiest etude would be the F minor Opus ten by chopin, man that took like no time at alll....un sospiro are you kiddin?  that will take 4ever to memorize...on the other hand, prelude from liszt transcendentale etudes isn't that hard, just b'cuz it's rllly short..
