Re: What's the most challenging piece you've ever learned and how did you tackle it?
I've somehow managed to learn and perform some pretty heavy-duty pieces, from the Hammerklavier Sonata to Alkan's Grande Sonate and numerous etudes, as well as Godowsky-Chopin etudes, Ligeti etudes,…

Re: I'm a beginner, and confused about the fingering on this measure
@Roy James-Pike Can we kindly keep things amiable? This is just piano playing, not politics. We're all on the same team here, after all. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong,…

Re: I'm a beginner, and confused about the fingering on this measure
@Roy James-Pike In writing, like in music, sometimes how we think we sound isn't how we really sound. That holds for me as much as anybody else. Let's strive for a friendly tone on tonebase.…

Re: I'm a beginner, and confused about the fingering on this measure
@Roy James-Pike I didn’t suggest the fingering is incorrect—in fact, this same fingering is one that I suggested as a possibility. I’m also not sure why you seem to feel the need to be defensive.…

Re: I'm a beginner, and confused about the fingering on this measure

Re: Wrong note?
The last quarter note (2nd half of beat 2) should be an A natural. There’s a small error in the numbering of this edition that’s likely to cause confusion. This bar should be 246.…

Re: Problem Solving Chopin's Etudes with Marina Lomazov!
It would be wonderful if you could cover the endurance challenge of performing Op. 10, Nos. 1 and 2 back to back when performing the cycle. Why did Chopin have to put the two hardest etudes first?!
