What piece(s) are you currently trying to learn?

I started learning Chopin's "etude on the black keys" and his C# minor Waltz to keep my skills up.

But, I've bees busy teaching and composing so I think I might have to put them up for a while.

As an update, I can play from now a Chopin's Nocturne. I try to play the famous Clementi's Six Sonatinas, but I don't know why are them so difficult for me.

Sevilla from the Suite Espanola No. 3 by Albeniz

Leyenda by Albeniz

those are the two main ones that have been my focus more recently

I'm studying right now Alexandre Tansman's Fifth piano sonata, Wolfgang Steffen's Reihenproportionen and lastly Alkan's Grande Sonate - and currently banging my head against the wall because of its second movement >_<

Cheers :blush:

At the moment I'm trying to finish the Beethoven Sonata op2 no.1 and learning Bartok's suite for piano, one of Rameau's suite and Andante and Rondo Capriccio by Mendelssohn.

The Bartol's suite and Mendelssohn's are killing me.

My girlfriend played Suggestion Diabolique last year. What a frickin' amazing piece of music. Seeing her play it was pretty much the hottest thing ever.
