She is in a small group class and at the end of the second “Little Mozarts” book from Alfred. She insists on using the black keys, so explained that she could move everything up a half-step to play in C# instead of C. Now, she insists on doing it with every piece in the book. On one hand, I think it’s neat/funny and maybe good for her. But on the other, sometimes I think it slows her down a bit, because when she sees a B, she has to play a C and so on.

Should I just roll with it, or encourage her to play what’s on the darn page!? 🤣

idk if i can without crying

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
