My Little Recital
on: April 07, 2005, 05:06:32 PM
Hi Im new here ˇˇˇ.  "Classical" music is my passion.   8)
 
Im 18 years old, I have been playing the clarinet since i was 14 and piano since i was 16.  I learned piano by my own and a this moment i can play Mozart´s Varations in C "Ah vous
dirai-je, maman" and Bach´s French Suite in B minor.
 
On December im going to appear in a group recital, im planning to play the following pieces:
 
1- Schubert -  Impromptu num 3 in Gb
2 - Schumman - Romanze op 28 num 2 in F#
3 - Brahms - Capriccio in F# minor Op 76-1
4- Scriabin - Etude in C# minor Op 2-1
 
My question:
 
In which order should i learn the pieces?
Have you played those pieces? Tips?
 
Thanks in advance.

Hi, sounds like you've picked up piano damn quickly.  I've only looked at the Schubert Impromptu, out of the ones you're planning on playing, and I found it relatively easy to play.  You have to be careful that the melody line on the top can be heard when you're playing those fast triplets.  When you learn this piece, take it really slowly at first, making sure that the triplets lie underneath the tune.

Good luck with learning all those pieces!

The order in which you listed them is probably the best. Also remember in the Schubert that the arpeggios mean something to- don't idly play them, they still have to be melodic.
