Hugowin Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Glad to hear that people are appreciating Sor! :) I'm currently learning the 20 studies by Sor aswell! I'm also learning 12 studies by Tarrega. These are the longer pieces I'm learning atm: Bach- Cello Suite 1 Sor- Variations over a theme from the Magic Flute by Mozart Op.9 Sor- Gran Solo, op 14 Tarrega- Capricio Arabe And that's about it! While I'm not composing, I'm playing guitar, and while I'm in school I want to get home :blink: School kills my spirit :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Plan out what needs to be done so you learn the music faster. I too am learning new music and I plan to know how to play them all during the summere so my college oditions go well. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What Beethoven piano sonata of intermediate difficulty should i tackle? I'm thinking #13, but what does anyone think? Btw, only up to about #20 as i only have the first 2 books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_is_D Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 - Tartini's Devil Trill (bloody difficult for the violin. Tartini came up with this after having a dream where the devil played the violin :S) - Kabalevsky's Violin Concerto (Overall a very nice piece: a constant battle between major and minor. Very russian folk like as well.) - Bruch's First Violin Concerto (Third movement, an immensely difficult gipsy dance. Ouch!) - Kreutzer Etudes (Going to Etude No. 18. Pretty much the Bible of Young Violin Students :laugh:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaltechViolist Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 OK, after at least three aborted attempts, I'm actually seriously putting effort into learning Kabalevsky's 3rd piano concerto ("Youth"). Funny, three years ago I couldn't seem to get the second and third movements at all over a whole summer, and now I've just brought the second movement up to performing standard in a week...

Shadow Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 In any long concerto the second and the third movements are the esaiest to learn with very llittle practice. Don't take this by you don't need to practice because it is the most important to go to college for music. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take this by you don't need to practice because it is the most important to go to college for music. ;) In this particular concerto, the third movement is the most difficult to learn - a lot harder than the first movement. The second suddenly became easy when I realized how the structure worked. But, um, I'm not sure why you're talking about going to college for music. I graduated from college almost two years ago (biology, not music), and I'm in medical school now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieran Del Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Samuel Barber's Excursions for piano. It's a four movement piece that describes the regions and life of the American environment, including a bustling, boogie-woogie style New York city song; a relaxed blues set in the southern Louisiana; variations on an American folktale (talk about difficult, this pits 7 to 8!); and an American squaredance. Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor (opus 3, my favorite opus!) It opens in a resolute, march feel, and it quickly builds to powerful bursts of chordal energy. I am just floored by the middle section of this piece: it is SOOOOOO beautiful! I think I would die to hear this part performed by orchestra and a male and female vocalist. It's progression is basically: D , D7 , C-7/D , D7 D , C-/D , Bb^0/D , D7 G- , G-/F , C-/Eb , A7/Db D , D , A7/D This chordal style is seen somewhat in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Hearing that on piano...(drooling on keyboard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xeraphine Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 well i posted about 4 months ago about starting Polonaise in Ab Major by Chopin (aka Heroic Polonaise). I didn't end up starting it till November Here's a clip of what it sounded like in January (at the 60 day mark, not memorized, full of page flips, and some iffy parts) Polonaise in Ab Major by Chopin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$0meb0dy_ is_bach Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 For me, well Bach's Cello Suite No.1 in G major. The cello suite by Bach is actually quite hard especially when it comes to the part where I have to change to all kinds of position and add a vibrato while playing a fast part from some of the movements. As for piano, Fugue No.1 from The Well-Tempered Klavier Book I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Boccherini Bb Cello Concerto - Gruetzmacher Cadenza. Popper etude #9 (it's so obnoxious). I just finished the prelude for the 3rd Bach suite. I think I will relearn the 2nd this week. That's it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashish Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 i'm almost halfway through liszt's transcendental etude no 11 (my personal favourite) and have just made it past the section with all those bloody arpeggios (why must he make so difficult :innocent: ) and am coming to my favourite part of the etude--the one with the thunderous chords.

Ravels Radical Rivalry Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I am trying to learn "Je Suis le Pluie" by Debussy. It from the series of pieces called "Estampes". I would also like to learn "Prelude in G Op. 32" by Rachmaninoff. If anyone knows where to find this music on a sheet music site then post that address please. If someone already has it will they scan it and poast it as a PDF file, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
