I'm at the beginning of my piano journey, so I don't really have any "unfinished" pieces. But before I had to take a piano-break, I had just learned the G-Major Minuet in the Anna Magdalena Notebook. I'd like to use this challenge to learn how to play the repeats in a non-boring fashion. 馃檪

Hi all,
I鈥檓 glad to join a tonebase community challenge after a few months away from the piano due to other commitments.
A piece I would like to finish is Chopin鈥檚 Grande Valse Brilliante Op.18.
I have made attempts at learning parts of it before but never managed to get it together. I think this challenge will hopefully help me to get it to a playable state. I would estimate I am starting from about 30% but the piece has its challenges, especially trying to make it sound stylish!
I hope to post an initial update of the opening pages in the next few days.

I simply can't believe the thrilling lineup of pieces folks have chosen for this challenge (and we're just a couple of days into it, so there's probably even more to come)! What a month this is going to be... wow! 馃槃

Before the Mazurka TWI that just took place, I scratched the surface of the first page of Rachmaninov Prelude in D-major Op 23 no 4, so that is very unfinished business!
Week 2 of Mazurka TWI I started the Op 59 no 1 (Chopin), and got threw the first section before I got under the weather.
Now I want to finish these two pieces!
