i'm looking into his music which is great. ive played the novelette 3 (don't care for the others), some nocturnes and melancolie. do you guys suggest anything else?

obviously its extremely difficult but how does it compare to other difficult pieces?

out of the concerti in the standard repertoire i think prok 2 and bartok 2 seem harder? im not an expert. outside of the standard rep the busoni concerto looks insane.

in solo rep is it harder than the 5th transcendental etude? its much shorter and i think the black page from rach 3 seems similar but feux follets has double notes. additionally i think the alkan concerto for solo piano and other etudes from the op39 set seem around rach 3 level?

i've heard tonebase mfs talking about how its 'cursed' and 'claimed its latest victim' like bro it cannot be that serious

is it actually so hard

the years he played them would be great too

is that a thing? i heard rubinstein would do that. im on holiday rn and cant practise. would probably do scriabin sonata 2.

i'll go first, chopin polonaise op53

i always hear ways to motivate yourself to practise, and my teachers tell my classmates to set yourself a timer and you don't have to do it everyday and stuff. sorry if this is silly but shouldnt you enjoy it? why are you doing it if you have to be forced to practise

i think i knew i was a girl forever but i only properly realised recently. whenever the subject of trans people were brought up around my parents they would just call them confused and mentally ill. i know i cannot tell them, it's too difficult and scary and i know they would never accept me. my grandparents even more so. i genuinely don't know what to do, it hurts being inside a man's body, i cant recognise myself in a mirror

what should i be sightreading in order to improve it? i can sightread pieces like chopin prelude op28 no15 and scriabin prelude op11 no10

sorry if this is a stupid question or is obvious but especially in these bars i have provided it just seems impossible to play them together

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

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

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

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?

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

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
