Start to learn Chopin op. 61

Hello friends! Although I am still busy with Chopin Sonata 3 I need another piece sometimes. I decided to start with Chopin op. 61 Polonaise-Fantasie. It‘s really new. I have never played it before. Started with 45 min today. Maybe somebody want to learn it too. 
Let‘s go. I will record something tomorrow. See you.

    Hi Kerstin, I’ve started to learn the Polonaise-Fantaisie a few years ago and played it for my LTCL exam last year. For me, it is one of the pieces that you never finish learning. But so rewarding when you can play it. My favorite interpretations are by Kate Liu and Daniil Trifonov. Enjoy the learning! Best regards 😀🎹😀

      Ursina Boehm Hi Ursina! Yes I remember you have played it. I have heard a part of it on some challenge. You have played very well. I don’t have much time right now, but I enjoy always to learn a new piece. Which pieces are you playing?

       I finally decided to go for two of dream pieces: the Partita No 6 by Bach and Schubert’s A Major Sonata, D959. It will for sure take me two to three years to get them on a concert level. That’s why I told myself to better start now 😀🎹😀

       Yes, that’s a great program and a lot of work. I like Bach too. Schubert is not my favourite composer. I chose a Beethoven Sonata 110. LG Kerstin

    I have studied the piece with three different teachers over the years and played it in a solo recital at my church a year ago. I am plenty busy with the new literature I am learning for the Tonebase Piano Camp at Adamant, VT, in August, but it might be fun to pick up this piece again “on the side” and share a recording, and maybe some advice based on lots of painful personal experience. I am sure you have already realized that it is much, much harder than it looks on the page. My personal favorite recording - and yes, I’m biased, but it is really good - is the one by one of Jarred Dunn’s teachers, Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń. It’s on her 2013 album simply titled “Frédéric Chopin”, available on Amazon. The entire CD is just exceptional and highly recommended.

       Hi Alex, that‘s great. I had no time to practice this piece last month and now I will accompnay a soprano singer with 8 operett pieces. But after 3. 10. I want to start. So it’s great you have played it. Maybe if I have some questions, I can ask you. LG Kerstin
