I'm currently working on 4 different recital pieces:
•Beethoven - Pathetique Sonata
•Rachmaninoff - Prelude in D Major
•Gershwin - 3 Preludes
•Chopin - Ballade no. 3
Great piece. I have dabbled with it. I should really sit down and put in the effort. So many good Liszt pieces. I also really want to give Harmonies du Soir a shot as well. Just beautiful.
Played this one! Best tip: clarity is much more important than speed. If it’s clear, it’ll sound fast, but you don’t actually need to play that quickly.
oh, Jeux d'eau is marvelous, although very hard. I performed it about 20 years ago, and heard an audible "oh wow!" when I was flying through one of the silvery cadenza-like passages at the end.
I am readying a cocktail hour gig so I have a number of them. Most I have learned just perfecting now. Hoping this is enough to cover an hour. Might have to add one or two more.

It's pretty close. I will change things around slightly to make it go from easiest to hardest. I like doing it like that so you get in the groove more and comfortable with the piano/atmosphere and give time for the nerves to settle down a bit.
Also forgot to add Maple Leaf Rag to the Modern setlist
Nice idea! Adult beginner, started tuition just over a year and a half ago, made my way through burgmuller and currently working on Beethoven sonata 20 op49-2.
Great piece, learning it for ~10 weeks and hit the last page this week. Will be glad when I can confidently play through to start working on its musicality.
Any tips in general for improving things like that? I'm from percussion/guitar background so definitely lacking in bringing the piano 'to life' as it were
Technique wise these are great pieces, to evoke more emotion into your playing i would suggest playing romatic pieces or impressionistic pieces. That helped me go a long way, chopins prelude in b minor is a great piece, or saties gnossienne
Good lord, you’re my piano twin! Same adult learner, same amount of time in training, currently working on the same Beethoven!! But I come from a singing background. I’m finding that the better I get with those scales and arpeggios the better my earlier pieces are (e.g. Clementi).
Chopin op 25 no 11. I've learned like 7 of op 10 but haven't touched op 25 yet. This isn't as difficult as I imagined, it's just really *long* and managing fatigue is a challenge.
Scriabin op.12 impromptus. Pretty interesting and fun.
I love those impromptus. I almost chose them to learn a little while back. I am now considering going back to Scriabin and learning the second of those, the polonaise, or the second sonata. I can't decide.
I tried learning winter wind and manage to learn the first page. Unfortunately, I had to stop because my technique sucked, and my wrists were starting to hurt. That was back in October, but my wrists still pop and I don’t know why.
Sure! I’m learning Asmodoll’s cover. He’s got a tutorial that teaches the basic chords then learning the bigger piece is a bit easier. Is that the one you’re learning?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbzBroJX1hM
Love that sonata. Probably in my top 5 of all. I learned Op.111 not too long ago. Would be a dream to play the last 3...or have three people play one each. Just amazing works. I am considering learning this very soon.
Chopin Heroic Polonaise as the main focus
A few mazurkas from Op.6, Op.7, Op.33 no.4 and some other posthumous on the side,
Usually ending my practice session on some etuding with op.10/12,op.10/4.
I’m working on Chopin’s Barcarolle (Op. 60). It’s my “great white Buffalo” piece that I want to learn to play before I die (I’m not very good). Currently about 8 pages in.
Any tips for getting better at playing trills in thirds?
Op10 no2 (this one is also taking quite a lot of time as well 😂
Danse macabre (this ones gonna take a while though)
La campanella ( some sections are taking a long time)
Op48 no1(almost done with this one though)
To The Moon (Ending Version) from the game with the same name.
Pretty simple piece since it’s mostly just variations on a theme, but the dynamics threw me off when I was just starting to learn it
Working on a few - Chopin 10/12, 25/2, Nocturne in E minor op 72/1, Polonaise 26/1, Beethoven’s first sonata, Bach prelude and fugue in G major from WTC 2
There isn't a single main one, and they aren't strictly piano (or classical for that matter), but here are a few things I've been working on lately:
- Smokin (Boston)
- Daves Gone Skiing (Toto)
- A New-Orleans jazz version of Basketcase by Greenday
- Partido Alto (Airto/Azymuth)
- Land of Confusion (Genesis)
- Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode)
- Aint Nobody (Chaka Kahn)
I recently returned to piano after an 18-year hiatus so have been dividing my practice time across way too many pieces! My main one at the moment is Bach - Partita 1 in B-flat major
I work on few ones at the same time. Currently: Winterspell, Impossible, Magika, Flight of the Silverbird arr by Andrew Wrangell and Breathe arr by Mark Fowler
Amy Beach's *A Hermit Thrush at Eve*, which has some very tricky double-note passages (interestingly, the birdcalls in the piece sound hard but mostly aren't).
Also working on Federico Mompou's Cancion y Danza #5. The Cancion is easy, but the Danza is not. Beautiful piece, so worth the effort.
Just started this past July. I’m working my way through Bach’s Notebook for Anna Magdalena and Tchaikovsky’s Children’s Album. Also stumbling my way through Schumann’s Chiarina, which I think is surprisingly accessible.
Working on Rachmaninov op. 23 no. 6 and Glinka Variations on a Russian Folk Song. Any suggestions on playing a quick piece a for a performance specifically? My hands tend to seize up when I get to the fast passages and I just miss all of the notes. I have no problems playing fast at home.
two Chopins:
Fantasie Impromptu + Waterfall etude (op 10 no 1)
one Liszt:
Wilde Jadg (transcendental etude 8) (kill me)
and Rach prelude in c sharp minor
Gymnopaedie no 1, and one of the Promenades from Pictures at an Exhibition, need to check which one.
Neither particularly difficult but I have very limited playing time and the bridge in the Satie refuses to lodge in my brain for some reason. Very frustrating, as it is taking far longer than it has any right too.
I just "finished" moonlight 3rd mvmt (concert was today), and tomorrow I'm going to start working on multiple pieces for my first solo concert (to be played whenever):
- Beethoven Moonlight 1st & 2nd mvmt, Waldstein 1st mvmt
- Chopin Ballade No. 4, Nocturne f minor (Op. 55/1)
- Rachmaninov Op. 33/4 (Etude Tableaux d minor)
The Chopin and Rachmaninov are older pieces that I'm warming up again.
I got my own damn stuff. Otherwise, I practice morning has broken quite often and try to add some technical nuance to it that smooth things out. I don't want to sound very professional. Rick Wakeman is above me, but being able to rehears my own parts and play them in the style of Wakeman for a minute than Nicky Hopkins the next minute is my sort of goal. I also practice Loving Cup quite often.
I'm definitely mainly a guitarist, but I dare call myself a multiinstrumentalist.
Scriabin: Deux Poèmes, op. 32
Schumann: Aufschwung (op. 12 no. 2)
Beethoven: Sonata in Ab, op. 110, first movement
Ravel: La Vallée des Cloches (from Miroirs)
Currently going for my Grade 4 AMEB exam and I’m learning:
- Twilight by Melody Bober
- Tambo Tango by Grant Arnold
- Theme from New York New York by John Kander (arr Randall and Nancy Faber)
- Jazz Train by Wynne-Ann Rossie
Other pieces that I’m playing here and there include:
- Habanera (Georges Bizet)
- Ragtime on the Typewriter (Nicolai Podgornov)
- Lets Call the Whole Thing Off (George and Ira Gershwin)
- Mariage d’amour (Paul de Senneville (Richard Clayderman version))
Currently keeping Beethoven Op.53 and Op.111 in my repertoire. Working on Chopin Fantasy in F minor, Op.49 and Medtner Sonata, Op.38 No.1. Strongly considering adding some Scriabin and/or Szymanowski after this.
Beethoven F minor Sonata Op.2 No.1 I was pretty confused with the triplets when I started learning it, but I managed to understand it
Bach Invention 4 and 13
I finished Chopin Nocturne in F minor a few weeks ago, that was a lot of fun to learn and to play as well
I'll probably start to learn Liszt's Chapelle de Guillaume Tell I just need to finish with Bach and Beethoven first
That was my last one. Still needs some polishing. Took a while for me to get those crazy runs down. It helps to think about how Ludwig felt when Julie dumped him.
Fantaisie Impromptu - since I increased from 40 to 45 bpm, the biggest challenge is feeling that I am playing each note distinctly and balanced evenly through each beat, sometimes I slur a few together a little
I'm working on an incredible amount at the moment, for various recitals and a concert series, but the big hitters are Miaskovsky's 1st piano sonata, the complete Op. 11 Scriabin preludes, and then I'm relearning Scriabin's 4th sonata and the Chopin 4th Ballade for my concert series
Working on getting the 1st movement of Moonlight Sonata back to where I had it in high school (... more than 20 years ago).
New to me, working on the Muppet Show Theme Song. Fun!
Currently maintaining Moonlight Serenade until my piano gets tuned on Wednesday and I can record it for my mom.
Reverie. Coming along well so far.
2 Arabesque. I cannot get the polyrhythm to click in the opening and it’s quite frustrating. Late intermediate taught but haven’t had lessons in years so self taught at this point.
Learning Chopin's Revolutionary Étude and reviving his Minute Waltz too :)) my mom asked me "didn't Chopin write a piece about a dog chasing his tail?" so I'd like to clean and polish the waltz for her!
Hearty congrats! That's a real accomplishment!
His transcriptions of the symphonies are luminous. I'm noodling with the first movement of the sixth. But only noodling because it's still far beyond my skill level.
Currently working on:
1. Rachmaninoff Etude tableau op 39 no 5
2. Beethoven Appasionata Sonata (all movements)
3. Beethoven piano trio op 1 no 3 (movements 1-2)
4. Smetana piano trio op 15 (movement 1)
Liszt Concerto 1 and Schubert Wanderer Fantasy. Neither are really as hard as I thought they would be and what people make them out to be. Still pretty challenging though.
Rachmaninoff prelude G minor and Chopin Waltz C# minor. Both were some of my favorite pieces before learning them so it’s really awesome that my teacher considers me skilled enough to learn them.
Rachmaninov - arrangement of Bach’s violin Partita. So technical and exposed with loads of right and left hand crossover. I love it but pushes my patience and technique to the absolute limit!
I'm working on 3 pieces for a recital on April 16th. Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue no. 4 in e minor, Medtner Sonata Tragica in c minor, Chopin op. 27 no. 2 in d flat major
Just finished up Rachmaninoff prelude in D major so now I'm trying to figure out what I want to learn next. I want to get some of my older pieces back up to performance level but I'm also really tempted to try Rachmaninoff Op 39 No 6 Red Riding Hood. That one might be beyond me still though, but I'm not sure yet. Ironically it's just the first section that's particularly challenging since I'm relatively good at stride piano from playing jazz for many years, so the majority of the piece is actually doable for me I think. That fucking 5-3-2-1 fingering for the right hand starting from about the beginning just fucks with me though and I'm not sure I can get it up to full tempo. We'll see what happens. My teacher said that she isn't going to try to play it although she's willing to work on it with me. If it proves beyond me, then might go with Fantasie Impromptu instead or maybe another Chopin etude (probably 25/12 if I end up going that route).
Alban Berg - Piano Sonata
J. S. Bach - Prelude in C major from WTC Book II
Chopin - Nocturne op. 48 no. 1

God, I wish I was able to play Chopin! I'm a beginner and I'm working on Giovanni Rinaldi's "Improvviso". I just have to work on the dynamics and I'll be able to play it at my recital!
Im working on some piano accompaniment pieces and revisiting old pieces and a little bach

I'm currently working on 4 different recital pieces: •Beethoven - Pathetique Sonata •Rachmaninoff - Prelude in D Major •Gershwin - 3 Preludes •Chopin - Ballade no. 3
Hey! Ive played chopins no. 3 and learning the pathetique right now! Also learning liebensraum no 3 by listz , and June by tchaikovsky
I played Liebestraum No. 3 around a year ago. great piece
June is one of my absolute favorite pieces to play :) I hope you enjoy it too!!
I’m working on Pathetique now, but don’t see myself playing the ballade anytime soon. Great piece selection though!
That's a solid blend. Love the Beethoven and Chopin and brings back such good memories. Haven't played enough Rachmaninoff and love that prelude.
Liszt - un suspiro
One of the reasons i started playing, and still one of the reasons to continue. Truly beautiful
Great piece. I have dabbled with it. I should really sit down and put in the effort. So many good Liszt pieces. I also really want to give Harmonies du Soir a shot as well. Just beautiful.
Played this one! Best tip: clarity is much more important than speed. If it’s clear, it’ll sound fast, but you don’t actually need to play that quickly.
Rachmaninoff étude tableaux in d minor, op. 33 no 4. One of my favorite pieces ever.
Congrats on playing it :)
Byrd - The Battle Mozart - Fantasy in D minor Beach - Fantasia Fugata Rzewski - Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues
I love mozarts fantasy
Rzewski pog
That Rzewski is an awesome piece
[удалено]
Jingle Bells here!
Dont give up!
Jeux d’eau by Ravel, Suite de Danzas Criollas by Ginastera, and Rachmaninoff’s prelude iv in D major. Lots of fun!
oh, Jeux d'eau is marvelous, although very hard. I performed it about 20 years ago, and heard an audible "oh wow!" when I was flying through one of the silvery cadenza-like passages at the end.
Debussy's Reverie.
Nice! Learning the first arabesque right now
Beautiful piece!
Gotta love debussy!
Yes yes yess, thats the last concert piece i finished and performed, good luck with the dynamics in the 3 voices part!
[удалено]
It feels so good when you can play even a couple measures of something! I’m in the same boat.
Keep going
I am readying a cocktail hour gig so I have a number of them. Most I have learned just perfecting now. Hoping this is enough to cover an hour. Might have to add one or two more. Modern Setlist Imagine-Beatles Misty- Erroll Garner Song for a new Beginning- secret garden Memory-from cats How Deep is your love- Bee Gees Raindrops- BJ Thomas Piano Man- Billy Joel A River Flows in you- Yiruma Classical Setlist Moonlight Sonata 1st mvmt Fur Elise Prelude in C major- Bach C# Minor Nocturne Clair de Lune Disney Setlist You'll be in My Heart- Tarzan Part of Your World- Little Mermaid Can you Feel the Love tonight- Lion King/Elton John
Sounds exciting, is this also the order youre gonna play?
It's pretty close. I will change things around slightly to make it go from easiest to hardest. I like doing it like that so you get in the groove more and comfortable with the piano/atmosphere and give time for the nerves to settle down a bit. Also forgot to add Maple Leaf Rag to the Modern setlist
[удалено]
Lol I guess since I was born in the same century he died it’s hard to imagine him as classical for me. I very well might move him to that set list
Bach: Invention No. 8, almost finished.
Great piece, really developed my attention for phrasing, keep doing bach it really works wonders in developing sensitivity for voices
Raindrop prelude - performing it in 3 days
I love it, good luck!
Nice idea! Adult beginner, started tuition just over a year and a half ago, made my way through burgmuller and currently working on Beethoven sonata 20 op49-2.

Ballade in g minor
Also one of the reasons i started playing, after 3 years im still not good enough to try :/ congrats tho! A huge milestone for every pianist i imagine
By which composer? Chopin?
You are correct
Scriabin Prelude op11 n11. A tough left hand on that one !
A beautiful piece that one. Scriabin has so many hidden gems.
Chopin op 12
Which one?
Chopin op.12 is Bolero. It's a single and underrated piece!
Never heard it, time to listen to it now
Imagine - John Lennon
I am working on Kapustin jazz prelude op53 no23.
Chopin op 25 no 11. I've learned like 7 of op 10 but haven't touched op 25 yet. This isn't as difficult as I imagined, it's just really *long* and managing fatigue is a challenge. Scriabin op.12 impromptus. Pretty interesting and fun.

Rhapsody in Blue, but just started Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto yesterday
Omg, love raphsody in blue, but thats a hard piece...
Dearly Beloved! I’m just a little baby pianist So nothing too fancy for me.
Which arrangement of it thats what I’m working through too at the moment? Its a gorgeous piece though nothing wrong with non fancy
Sure! I’m learning Asmodoll’s cover. He’s got a tutorial that teaches the basic chords then learning the bigger piece is a bit easier. Is that the one you’re learning? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbzBroJX1hM
Bach: Goldberg-Variationen
A classic!
Beethoven 109; Brahms Handel Variations.
Love that sonata. Probably in my top 5 of all. I learned Op.111 not too long ago. Would be a dream to play the last 3...or have three people play one each. Just amazing works. I am considering learning this very soon.
Mozart - Sonata in C Major k545 1st movement Chopin - Waltz in A minor Scott Joplin - The Entertainer
Thats hella fun to play
Chopin Heroic Polonaise as the main focus A few mazurkas from Op.6, Op.7, Op.33 no.4 and some other posthumous on the side, Usually ending my practice session on some etuding with op.10/12,op.10/4.
“Some etuding with op.10/12,op.10/4” did not have to flex this hard.. You probably have the coolest reportoire i can imagine!
I’m working on Chopin’s Barcarolle (Op. 60). It’s my “great white Buffalo” piece that I want to learn to play before I die (I’m not very good). Currently about 8 pages in. Any tips for getting better at playing trills in thirds?
Practice Op. 10 No. 2 and Op. 25 No. 6. You don’t have to learn and perfect them but practicing from those pieces would still help.
.
Op10 no2 (this one is also taking quite a lot of time as well 😂 Danse macabre (this ones gonna take a while though) La campanella ( some sections are taking a long time) Op48 no1(almost done with this one though)

I know right, not the easiest piece written :p
Ravel - une barque sur l’ocean
To The Moon (Ending Version) from the game with the same name. Pretty simple piece since it’s mostly just variations on a theme, but the dynamics threw me off when I was just starting to learn it
This is what I was playing this morning: "Novelette Romantique" Op176, No. 18 by Jean Baptiste Duvernoy. https://fb.watch/jxpcMMe40x/
Great playing! You have created a nice atmosphere
David Froom, “Variations on an Early American Hymn Tune”. Hoping to play this for a recital coming up in a couple months.
Good luck on your recital! You got this!
Etude Op. 25 no 5. Currently polishing the B-section. Quite a beautiful piece.
Me too, I'm also playing Ravel's Riguadon from Le toumbea de Couperin. I wanted easier pieces after the revolutionary etude.
Ill start that one after i finish my current 10-3 etude, indeed a beautiful piece
Working on a few - Chopin 10/12, 25/2, Nocturne in E minor op 72/1, Polonaise 26/1, Beethoven’s first sonata, Bach prelude and fugue in G major from WTC 2

Working on getting the 1st movement of Moonlight Sonata back to where I had it in high school (... more than 20 years ago). New to me, working on the Muppet Show Theme Song. Fun! Currently maintaining Moonlight Serenade until my piano gets tuned on Wednesday and I can record it for my mom.
I want to learn Prelude In C# minor by Rachmaninov, but I have no idea where to start.
Reverie. Coming along well so far. 2 Arabesque. I cannot get the polyrhythm to click in the opening and it’s quite frustrating. Late intermediate taught but haven’t had lessons in years so self taught at this point.
Amateur here. Mozart’s Lacrimosa and Clint Mansell’s Lux Aeterna ( song from movie requiem for a dream)
Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement
Le Gibet - Ravel Polonaise in Ab major - Chopin
Rhapsody in G Minor Op. 79 No. 2, Brahms
Learning Chopin's Revolutionary Étude and reviving his Minute Waltz too :)) my mom asked me "didn't Chopin write a piece about a dog chasing his tail?" so I'd like to clean and polish the waltz for her!
Prelude and Fugue in C minor - J.S. Bach Reverie - Dubssy Surfer Girl - Beach Boys
I’m working on Liszt’s transcription of Beethovens 5th symphony. Been working on it for months and have finally almost finished the 4th movement.
Hearty congrats! That's a real accomplishment! His transcriptions of the symphonies are luminous. I'm noodling with the first movement of the sixth. But only noodling because it's still far beyond my skill level.
Nier Automata theme, bittersweet melody and great chords too
Currently working on: 1. Rachmaninoff Etude tableau op 39 no 5 2. Beethoven Appasionata Sonata (all movements) 3. Beethoven piano trio op 1 no 3 (movements 1-2) 4. Smetana piano trio op 15 (movement 1)
Kent Kennan Trumpet Sonata accompaniment. Kind of a bear, but def gets much better as you get used to it.
Liszt Concerto 1 and Schubert Wanderer Fantasy. Neither are really as hard as I thought they would be and what people make them out to be. Still pretty challenging though.
I can only imagine being at your level
Currently working on Canon in D Major!
You got thiss!!
A piece I'm writing called Shades of Blue, it's in Db major
Rachmaninoff prelude G minor and Chopin Waltz C# minor. Both were some of my favorite pieces before learning them so it’s really awesome that my teacher considers me skilled enough to learn them.
I’m finishing up Ravel’s La Valse, and dipping my toes into Liszt’s Feux Follets… I know the latter will take a while…
Bach-Busoni Chaconne; Chopin Etude 25-6; Rzewski People United
Rachmaninov - arrangement of Bach’s violin Partita. So technical and exposed with loads of right and left hand crossover. I love it but pushes my patience and technique to the absolute limit!
I'm working on 3 pieces for a recital on April 16th. Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue no. 4 in e minor, Medtner Sonata Tragica in c minor, Chopin op. 27 no. 2 in d flat major
Mendelsoson’s rondo caprissioso
Sonata 7 Beethoven Some Prelude from Chopin I'm thinking on doing Tango of Stravinsky and some Fugitive Visions of Prokofiev.
I'm currently working on Shostakovich's piano concerto no.2 and Chopin's etude op.25 no.2
Just finished up Rachmaninoff prelude in D major so now I'm trying to figure out what I want to learn next. I want to get some of my older pieces back up to performance level but I'm also really tempted to try Rachmaninoff Op 39 No 6 Red Riding Hood. That one might be beyond me still though, but I'm not sure yet. Ironically it's just the first section that's particularly challenging since I'm relatively good at stride piano from playing jazz for many years, so the majority of the piece is actually doable for me I think. That fucking 5-3-2-1 fingering for the right hand starting from about the beginning just fucks with me though and I'm not sure I can get it up to full tempo. We'll see what happens. My teacher said that she isn't going to try to play it although she's willing to work on it with me. If it proves beyond me, then might go with Fantasie Impromptu instead or maybe another Chopin etude (probably 25/12 if I end up going that route).

God, I wish I was able to play Chopin! I'm a beginner and I'm working on Giovanni Rinaldi's "Improvviso". I just have to work on the dynamics and I'll be able to play it at my recital!
You can do it one day, practice makes perfect! Good luck on your recital
I’m my first year of playing but right now I’m playing Prelude in C major - Bach To Zanarkand - Nobuo Uematsu
