how difficult is medtner?

once again i ask about a composer 😭, this time medtner. i really love all of op38 and the sonata romantica: im not concerned about technical difficulty, more so interpretive and musical

how slow can i play pavane for a dead princess

i understand ravel didnt want it to sound like a funeral march, and his recording is quite fast, 5 minutes long more or less. seong jin cho's recording is 6 and a half minutes, but when i play it it's more like 9???? it just sounds really pretty when i play it slower

edit: typo

how difficult musically is late brahms

specifically 7 fantasien op116. i understand there isnt too much technical difficulty but how musically difficult is it? do i need a lot of musical maturity to play it well? is it comparable to the late beethoven or schubert sonatas? ive played a lot of romantic piano pieces

advice on repertoire building?

everyone says to learn a major beethoven sonata, a few chopin etudes and bach prelude and fugues, and then a major romantic work. i do also see rachmaninov preludes and liszt hungarian rhapsodies being suggested. what are some repertoire to learn past that?

how are the late beethoven sonatas difficult?

i am aware of the technical difficulty, namely in 29 and 32 and the fugue in 31 among other places. i am aware it is very musically difficult but i have difficulty understanding what that means? i love the sonatas 30 and 31 but my teacher says that when i play them i sound young. ive played each of their first movements. what exactly does this mean? can a young person play them well? how exactly does being old make you sound better?

edit: forgot about schubert d960, same for that one

burning in the forearm when playing

recently ive started learning the chopin etude op25 no6. i started having a burning sensation in my right forearm when i would play the alternating thirds at the start, so i stopped. now whenever i play a piece it starts burning. i took a 4 day break and when i came back it started straight away. my piano teacher said my technique looks fine and i havent changed anything really. i have started working on some left handed repertoire now because i dont want to use my right hand as i know its bad to play through pain

i watched your lie in april as my first anime

oh my goodness is this show amazing. i can not stop crying after watching the ending, its been like 1 hour. i cannot describe how good this was. are all animes like this???? 10/10

i think part of why this show hit me so hard is because of the classical music in it, as i play piano. when kosei like found out shes dying and stuff the piece pavane for a dead princess started playing and i just started tearing up bro. so peak

edit: a friend recommended it to me because he knew i played piano and idk if i should be thanking him or killing him
