I’ll use this as an opportunity to beef up the Chopin Ballade No. 3 and/or Etude 10/1. I’ve learned the notes of both but want to play them far better than I do now, so this is a great opportunity to pick them back up again and dig into both more deeply! 

Hi everybody, I am working on rubato and improving pedalling on Chopin Mazurka in A minor op 17 n 4

I will be playing Chopin Valse Op 64 #2 c# minor.  My teacher selected it for me and it's been fun and a beautiful piece to learn. It was one of my mom's favorites too.  I am hoping to get a deeper understanding of the piece, as expressed by Ben Laude: the "dark" A theme in c#minor vs the "light" C theme in Db major and a reoccurring B ritornello theme. 

I would like to learn at least one pair of Opus 28 Preludes, major with its relative minor. I’ll start with E major and C# minor, then try to add Db major and Bb minor  

I have chosen Etude Op 10,No 3

This is my first step in learning all the etudes. 

Hei

Olen aikoinaan nuorena soittanut valssia op 64 nro 2. Olen nyt eläkeiässä herätellyt soittoharrastusta uudelleen ja haluaisin kokeilla opinko soittamaan tämän vielä hyvin ja kauniisti.

I am having a hard time choosing. I will either play Nocturne Op. 15 No. 3 or one of the preludes. I’d like to learn No.  18 or No. 21.

I would like to try this Challenge with the Waltz op64 n2. I always wanted to learn/explore this beautiful piece.

Hello!

I have chosen the Nocturne Op. 37 No. 2. I am intrigued with the constant key changes and contrasting dreamy sections.

Signing up...maybe a bit late, and I may not make it in the end because of some health issues, but I want to give it a try. I think I will work on nocturne Op. 72 no. 1 (E minor). Such a wonderful, interesting piece that ive always loved, but have never persisted through the "stuck" zones in some passages and need to bring out more musicality in my playing with it. Fingers crossed!

What a fantastic selection of Chopin!

I've chosen the Nocturne in D-flat major, Op. 27 No. 2. Whilst I've played a lot of the nocturnes I've never played this one. Not sure how far I'll get in a month but am sure I'll enjoy the journey.

I almost changed my mind though after listening to this heart achingly beautiful version of it played by Maria Jaoa Pires -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7UTWYO25Y4&list=RDY7UTWYO25Y4&start_radio=1

It's so wonderful....

Nocturne in C♯ minor, Op. Posth. Breathtakingly expressive...one of my favourite  pieces by Chopin

Nocturne B major opus 62 no 1. Beautiful lyricism and late Chopin polyphony, amazing trill movement in the middle section

• Mazurka in A minor, Op. 67 No. 4.  I never heard this before and somehow it grabbed my attention.  Not sure if I can do it justice as a mazurka - seems a quirky offbeat emphasis to me since I’m not familiar with the form.  Hope I don’t butcher it too much but I do love the melody and hope to learn a lot.  Excited to join the Tonebsse community !
