Pieces you guys are working on

I think it would be interesting to know what each other is playing, so if you want us to know, then please post here.

I keep trying to answer this, but I find it difficult to type while I am playing.

I'm currently focusing on Mozart's "Turkish March" and "Still Alive" (A really nice song from a game called Portal).

From time to time I play Mendelssohn's "Song without words" and Schumann's "About strange lands and people". And when I feel like it I play various national anthems.

About strange lands and people is a very nice peace, have you played the rest of the set Kinderszenen?

One of my favourite pieces I'm working on is called "Sonantina" By Dussek

Are you sure it's not Sonatina?  As for Dussek, I have never heard of him, but I might search him up on Youtube now.

who transcribed it?

I'm working on Album Leaf by Chopin.

what op. and no.?

"The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin - great fun. It took me quite a while to be able to play it from start to finish, and there's a lot of room for improvement. I liked this piece the first time I heard a fragment of it in the 70s, but didn't attempt to play it until 2008.

Hi there...it's gret to join this group...I never though I could find a community of piano and chess players...fantastico!!!

I think it's a great idea to tell the group what everyone is playing...I'm working on 3 pieces a transcription of the Swan, by Saint-Sans, on the second movement andante of Mozart's concerto 21, and the Sonata in C Major...future projects (no timeline yet) include the Andante Spianato op.22 Chopin, and a transcription of Schubert's The Trout...

look forward to getting to know the group...I'll put a picture when I find out how to do it...any advice?

Hasta luego...

Welcome!

The little button with the tree on it is what you need to post a picture. Either from somewhere else on the Internet, or from your computer.

I'm working on Fur Elise, and I started Linus and Lucy

I just finished working on a set of pieces I've been playing for a while (Chopin Mazurka Op. 67 N.4 and Le Polichinel).  Now, I will either play the Bach concerto in F minor or the second and third movements of Saint-Saens' Concerto No. 2.  I also possibly might do Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# Minor.

Oh, and also Chopin's Etude (Op. 25 No. 2.)

Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor is nice, I've never gotten some of the chords at the end though, maybe you aren't supposed to...

i could cheat

tchaikovsky's piano concerto in b flat minor op1

and btw, i can play the rachmaninoff through now with a "reasonable" number of mistakes :).  I will be able to play the piece at concert-level in due time.

good, so you're a concert pianist?
