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

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'm currently learning organ and teaching myself guitar. I'm already beginning to shred!

WRONG POST, SORRY!

NO NO NO, please don't shred, I used to, it's tasteless and horrible.

Please for the love of god/allah/zeus get yourself a classical guitar or learn jazz!

I'm currently taking lessons with Inal. I enjoy playing pieces that I review or have for homework. :)

Bach's Prelude 1 from Well-Tempered Klavier Book.

I sight-read that the other day.

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

:toothygrin:

: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 ;)

Strauss 2nd Horn Concerto, in its entirety, not just the first 100 measures or so like 99% of the horn world learns:P

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;;

Right now I'm learning the third movement of Bruch's first violin concerto (on and off, mostly off), and Paganini's Moto Perpetuo for violin, which is a scallop to play.

I'm working on learning a revised piano accompaniment for a piece of mine; I'll be performing the duet (piano + viola) later this month at a local festival, so I need to get it sounding perfect. So far, so good...:)

Learning W.F. Bach's Polonaise no.5 in Eb, Album leaf no.3 from Smetna's 6 Album leaves Op.2, and A mar

Prokofiev's 3rd Sonata and Mozart's Violin Sonata (piano part) K. 576.

finished the Stars and Stripes Forever, haven't decided what to learn next

bach's prelude from the lute suite in E major, a load of brazilian guitar stuff, on piano bach's invention number 1 and the C Bach piece in the ABRSM grade 4 book.

I'm currently working on The Trumpet Shall Sound from Handel's Messiah, and Songs of Travel by Vaughan Williams. Any other vocalists out there?

A bunch of piano crap by bartok.

What Bartok? And what piano concerto?? I NEED SPECIFICS, lol.

Oh. :thumbsup:

Allegro Barbaro. a bunch of short little peices. A sonatina, "Bagpipes."

The grasshoppers wedding. Some other things. these are just sightreading mostly.

Concerto No. 8

Gonna get a different one though.

Rachmaninoff - Prelude in G minor Op.23 no.5.

I'm also planning to learn an early Beethoven sonata but I don't know which one to choose. Which is a good one? I've already learnt the No.1, 5 and 8 (the first movements anyway).

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.

Ah, I love the mozart concerto. The first movement is amazing.

I'm working on Albert Glinsky's "Toccata-Scherzo" on violin.
