Thread: What are you working on right now.

Now I'm working on Bach sinfonia in G minor, and a Pavane with variations by John Dowland.

(back from the dead, sort of)

I am starting work on the Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableaux op. 39 no. 3 tomorrow. It's one of my favorite works by Rachmaninoff and I've always wanted to play it. I'm playing it for an All-State audition in 8 weeks. I'm really scared that I won't complete it in time


Pray for me.

Hey, you're back!

Good luck, sir.

@Sofronitzky

Where've you been? I wish you the best of luck in your performance!

Hurray! He's back!

Good luck with your Rachmaninov.

Schumann - Piano Concerto in a minor, first movement (yay!)
Liszt - Un Sospiro
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 11 (still)
Bach - Preludium und Fuge No. 22 from WTC I (still)
Chopin - Grande Valse Brillante Op. 34 No. 1
Chopin - Mazurka Op. 33 No. 4

Bach - Contrapunctus 14 and 5, from the Art of Fugue.
Bach - Variations 1 and 10 from Goldberg Variations.
Shosty - Fugue No. 2 in A minor, from the 24 Preludes and Fugues.

I've finally got my program for this year:

Bach - Prelude and Fugue No. 14 in F-sharp minor, from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53 "Waldstein" (complete)
Schumann - Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54 (complete)
Rachmaninoff - Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 36 (1st movement)
Prokofiev - Piano Sonata No. 6 in A major, Op. 82 (4th movement)

A mixture of the old and new, but the most important thing is that I'm passionate about every single piece on this program from beginning to end.

Of course, I'm going to be wanting some character pieces and etudes by the end of the year after having dedicated an entire year to all of these sonatas!

Waldstein and the Schumann Op. 54 Concerto? I envy you this year! As for me, I'm thinking of playing Medtner's Night Wind Sonata some time this year, but I'd be pretty giddy if I could play Schumann's Op. 54 Concerto.

Medtner-op. 54, Romantic Sketches for the youth, a beggar's tale.

Been working on chopin's etude op. 10 no. 4. Right now my metronome is on 126, and the standard tempo is 166. Working very hard on my spare time to speed it up.

That is such a nasty étude...

the gigue from Bach's piano partita No.5

prelude and forlane from ravel's le tombeau de couperin

chopin etude op.10 No.4

i'm only an amateur, so that's fine for me

My big project these days is arranging Holst's Planets for synthesizer. I play the piano (badly) as a form of therapy. Right now I'm learning the Schubert Impromptus Op. 90. I've been farting around with these for over a year now.

Working on a Mazurka in C (op. 7 no. 5) by Chopin, of course.
And I'm working on Rondo Alla Turca (Sonata K. 331, 3rd movement) by Mozart) I have a copy without finger numberings so before I start a section I have to write them in which is a nuisance.
