on keys Invention no 1 in C major

on guitar I'm working through the carcassi method and learning all the stuff in there and with one of my teachers I'm working on Allegro from BWV998 and a guitar version of Jesu Joy of Man's desiring.

Next week he said he'll give me some cool thing by villa lobos we can work on

Romance for Viola and Piano (Vaughan Williams)

Sonata for Viola and Piano mvts I and II (Glinka)

Fantasia IV (originally for violin, transposed for viola) (Telemann)

I love Vaughan Williams and Glinka, but I'm bad at the Telemann... I'm more of a romantic girl >< The Glinka is very pretty and easy to play, and slightly schizo XD;; VW's Romance is beauuuuutiful but hard. But I'm motivated!!! yay...!

I sight-read that the other day.

That prelude has always bothered me. Probably Because it's the only one anyone ever plays.

:D

Bach's Prelude 1 is a good sightread :) It's also one of those pieces that I can sightread at this point. I also like Bach's Prelude 2 from Well-Tempered Klavier Book, and will most likely learn that after Prelude 1.

Now that will be fun to memorize. Imagine Prelude 2 at double-tempo ;)

My piano playing has sorta been put on hold, but the pieces that I HAVE been looking at...

- "Valley of Rocks" by Miriam Hyde

- "Butterfly Etude" by Chopin

- "Premiere Ballade, Op.23 in G Minor" by Chopin <---This one is so hard T_T

- "Pour le piano" by Debussy

- "Rhapsody Op.79 No.2" by Brahms

- "Sonata Op.10 No.3" by Beethoven

- "Prelude and Fugue XVI" by Bach (BWV 885)...I can't remember which book of the Well Tempered Klavier it comes from *twitch*

...wow, I didn't realise how many there were. If I ever get through all those works, I'll be proud of myself XD;;

I'm currently learning the Carl Maria von Weber Concertino for Clarinet and Orchestra. It's not too difficult for me, and I've mostly got it down, so now I'm just polishing it up for an audition next month.:) I would highly recommend the Charles Neidich recording of this piece for anyone who wants to hear some great virtuoso clarinet playing.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the next piece I'm going to learn is the Mozart Clarinet Concerto.
