BabyBlade Internal Moderator June 1, 2021 Share June 1, 2021 Been learning this for about two months going three and I'm at the halfway mark of the third page (also the third movement). And as I mentioned previously, inbetween I went to learn other easy pieces because I got bored haha. There's lots of repetition for Chopin pieces that when I play through the piece from top to bottom including the repeats, by the third movement, I'm already too exhausted to carry on. Is this normal? Lol. This is also a piece that's way off the charts for my level so I play like a robot. 🥴 Should I finish it or move on then come back again in future? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not famous for Waltz. For Chopin you have to play his Nocturne or 夜曲 . They are more romantic especially when you play it at night. Hence the name Nocturne. There is one featured in the movie the Pianist. The piece that is played in the beginning in the movie. Nocturne in C-sharp minor. It is also one of my fav. This is not too difficult to play. Another that is not too difficult is Nocturne in E Flat Major (Op. 9 No. 2). One more I can think of is Chopin's Op 28 Prelude No. 4. Sounds very sad but very easy to play. One page only.

I'll go take a look at Op 28 Prelude No. 4 though I suspect what's easy for you isn't for me! Haha. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another section when it switches from C# minor to Db major is also my favorites (using parallel modulation) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordanogavin 5th Gear June 4, 2021 Share June 4, 2021 Inspired by @BabyBlade playing of To Zanarkand - Final Fantasy X, below is my version of this piece. Pardon my imperfect playing due to lack of practice. Is play by ear without any music notes from a few listening and solely based on intuition. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a short one which I recorded in the morning. Not the full video because the file size is huge. As usual don't mind the amateur playing.Was also rushing. 🥴 VID_267660910_145613_305.mp4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
