Rachmaninov Etude 39 6

Featured Replies

Yeh...the one Lisitsa plays in 2 minutes flat :/ is this a piece that is harder than it looks sounds, or is it one of those great pieces that are easier to play than they sound? Im incredibly tempted to learn it but i tihnk i may be wasting my time as im not yet good enough to play it WELL

this is entirely up to you, and what you tihnk your 'level' of pianisim is, but IMO it is an incredibly hard piece and even though you're more than welcome to try it, i wouldn't get your hopes up to high (you may well be able to play it, but not nesicarily at a high standard)

....and he has been deleted?

I am playing this now and although it is quite difficult, especially to play it clearly, it is a bit easier than it looks. Still - to play it with intensity and character is not difficult as these are quite obvious qualities of the piece. So if you know what you're doing on the piano you should be able to play it.

J.Br. may i enquire in to what other pieces you play to guage if i would be able to play the etude as i am also a huge fan of it. thanks
