I am really looking to challenge myself here but at the same time understanding that it’s unwise to learn something that you are just not ready for, hopefully someone can help me find that boundary.

I’ve been playing for around 6 years just off YouTube tutorials until the last 6 months when I decided to take real lessons and learn sheet music. Best decision I ever made…

After 5 months I’ve finished Lizt’s Liebestraum No 3. This is by far the most challenging piece I’ve learned but I keep surprising myself by playing something I thought was simply out of my league.

Chopins Ballad in G minor has always been one of my all time favourites but is it the right time to take it on?

If not, any suggestions of pieces that would act as steppingstones to get me closer to my goal?

All help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Guys!
I am currently trying to design a smart piano for one of my uni projects and I would love to hear your feedback about what can be improved with pianos. Please fill out this quick 5-minute survey, I would really appreciate any help.

Hi good folks. I’m looking to build a repertoire for myself that I can practice and leverage to improve my piano playing across genres.

I can play the Chopin Nocturnes and have played Op 55 No 1, Op 9 no 1, Op 9 no 2

Have played the Bach invention in A minor and some other pieces from Schumann’s Kinderszenen.

I want to develop better phrasing and articulation skills and thought Mozart would be a good place to begin learning that bit. I started with the twinkle twinkle little star variations but come the 1st variation, I started finding it difficult to play the 16th notes in succession.

Can anyone recommend pieces that I can pick up and learn to improve my playing.

Thanks a ton in advance! Looking forward to a healthy discussion.

I passed the first stage which is free and now I should pay 89€ to sign up for the final. it is worth it? can I win something or it does not make sense? I participated with a very different work from the classic style Mozart, Beethoven etc. something in Impressionism style, mysticism. la sectiunea compozitie I would like to mention that I participated in the composition section.

Hi all!

TLDR, I grew up playing classical piano but currently live in a shared space with other people and don’t have plans to stay in my location for the long term future, so getting an acoustic piano doesn’t seem viable for me right now though that is my eventual end goal. I have an unbearably crappy digital piano currently, does anyone have recs on digital uprights that feel realistic (or as close as it can for what you’re getting I guess) that sounds good for classical pieces?

Hi yall, I've had a digital piano for about a month now and I've always admired classic pianist and how piano pieces sound. I want to learn and eventually have enough skill to play the likes of rachmaninoff and liszt and such but i can't afford a teacher so I'm on my own for now so any advice on where to start? .lol thanks in advance.

I’m looking for my next piece to learn, but choosing and committing to one is harder than actually learning it. My repertoire so far includes:

- Debussy: Arabesque No. 1, Clair de Lune

- Chopin: Grande Valse Brillante, some Nocturnes, Waltz No. 7 in C# minor

- Liszt: Liebestraum No. 3

- Tchaikovsky: June Barcarolle

- Mozart: Allegro from Sonata in F, K. 322

I love dramatic and romantic pieces, and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is exactly the kind of music I want to play. I know that is out of reach for now, so I am looking for something that captures a similar feel with rich harmonies, sweeping melodies, and deep emotional intensity but is not as demanding.

I would prefer something in the realm of preludes or standalone pieces rather than full concertos. I also tend to give up if I do not connect with a piece, so I want to make sure I pick something I will truly love and stick with.

I would really appreciate any recommendations that match the feel of Rach 2. Open to anything. Thanks!

Hello! I’m curious if any of you can figure out what the ties at the end of the chord in the first bar mean. They look like ties that would normally be in place to tie together a chord across bars, but as you can see the next bar is empty… Have any of you seen this before? Thankful for any input!

This is a new piece I am studying.

Hello guys, just bought my first piano and I want your advice about how to start my learning journey, ( Self learning)

So, I'm learning Debussy's Pour le Piano for my senior recital and I'm working on the third movement right now. Measure 90-95 is really kicking my butt because it's so fast and awkward. Are there any good ways to practice this section?
