Brother Will Green hi ! This is my first interaction on your community, our community.
mine of my dream is : Liszt Rhapsody number 2 ! just started yesterday! I read the entire sheet in one hour yesterday to have an over view of the work, surprised myself that I read it so fast! now seeting the real technical details and frame into place : reading and technical approach very slow, arms, hard positions etc. with my old hands that needs warm up in broken chords etc! But the main work is mental: setting our brain on the tonality and the general structure with this nain thinking « it’s easy » ! have fun makes you read much faster like a musical game fun time. Particularly with this crazy mad and beautifull pianist composition made for out of lines crazy pianist!
video later !

Editing on Feb 6, 2022 with one additional piece.
- Bach's Prelude & Fugue #3 in C#-major from book 1 of the Well Tempered Clavier.
- Bach's Italian Concerto, all 3 movements. I just learned the second movement, but have probably forgotten a lot of it by now.
- Bach's Partita #2 in C-minor. I watched Martha Argerich's performance and was blown away by it. All 6 parts are great in and of themselves, but my favorite part is the Andante section of the 1st Sinfonia.
- My two non-Bach pieces are 1) Rachmaninoff's Prelude #5, op 32 in G major. I heard a recording of it on a video and thought it was just so beautiful. At first, I thought it was Debussy, but surprised to learn it was Rachmaninoff.
- And 2) Chopin's Etude in E-major, Op 10, no 3. I was in the middle of learning this piece in my senior year of high school, but had to stop when I went off to college. I still remember my piano teacher playing it which was the only way I got to learn how these pieces were played in those pre-internet days.

Beethoven’s last two piano sonatas.
-
I´m actually studying one of my dream piece. Chopin´s nocturne in F, op. 15 n 1. A real challenge for small hands like me in the B section. But I´m loving. This piece is a treasure for me. Thanks.
-
Vander Soares Ramos YES! I'm so glad to hear it, and I hope that you are finding your dream piece very rewarding. The middle section is indeed challenging with small hands! I totally empathize with you. I hope you are able to find a place to live in the sound where you can feel satisfied in playing it. How long have you been working on this nocturne?

there are so many pieces which i wish to and to perform, and the lists seems never ends.
1. Bach - Italian Concerto
- toccata C minor)
- Partita BWV 826
2. Beethoven - waldstein's,
3.Chopin - 1st ballade
4. Liszt - Un-sospiro

There are too many dream pieces out of the biggest (?) literature in music history.
Currently might be Schumann op.6 and 11, or some Brahms e.g. the octave trill in op.15 (dream technic?) which are too dreamy to dare to dream...
i should be more realistically practicing scales and arpeggios and strengthening fingers.
-
XiaoXin Ohhh, I am learning the Schumann Op. 11 sonata right now
oh I hope to hear you play it! you can always practice scales and arpeggios contained within the repertoire 
-
-
Debussy's Clair de Lune and the entire Suite Bergamasque
-
Currently learning Rachmaninoff’s Elegie opus 3 no.1. Would you consider it for a lesson? There are too many dream pieces to learn in a lifetime!
-
Christobel Wow what a BEAUTIFUL movement... I will let the team know about your interest in this piece for a lesson!
-
Hilda Thanks Hilda! That would be wonderful
-
-
I am currently learning this one too!
-
I'd really LOVE to play the Brahms second concerto... but it's got such a massive orchestra.... fingers crossed for a chance in the future!!
-
Beethoven Op 110
Mozart Concerto k 466
Scarlatti K 13 / L 486 -
Rachmaninoff Moment musicaux no. 4
or Ravel sonatine
-
Chopin, Fantaisie, Op 49, and Ravel-Une barque sur l'ocean.
-
There are too many pieces to list, but I admit that actually the first that popped in my head is John Williams’ Over the Moon, which is the end credits to E.T.. It’s like a Chopin etude. That, and Chopin’s Berceuse.
-
May i ask if you have the score to this piece?
-
My dream piece would be Arabesque no.1 by Claude Debussy. So beautiful
-
My dream is to play Rachmaninoff's 2nd sonata in this lifetime! (And a lifetime is probably how long it will take me to get to that level...
) -
Tchaikovsky Concerto no.1
Chopin Sonata no.3
Those were my inspiration to keep practicing from my teenager years, even though I am in my 30s now.
