 Chopin and Beethoven - good companions in concert?
December 23, 2008, 05:48:12 AM by bachobev

Hi guys, i just want your opinion on this. There's a talent show coming up and I'd like to play 2 pieces for a total length of about 10 min.
Do you think Chopin Etude 10 no 1 and Beethoven Moonlight's 3rd movement would go well together ? one thing that bugs me is that they are both very fast. Perhaps having a "relaxed" tempo piece with either of these two is more convenient?
Cheers

F-sharp double sharp in Moonlight Sonata measure 188
December 18, 2008, 04:49:29 PM by marsippius

Hi Everybody
OK, I been studying the first note of measure 188 of
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, third movement.
The note in question is in the position of F below the base.
It is sharped in the key signature, and is accidentalized
with a double-sharp marking.
I listened to two examples of this note being played.
In each case, the note in measure 188 sounds different
from the bottom-line G in measure 189.
The two performers were William Kempf and Daniel
Barenboim, as found online.
What is the correct note to be played in measure 188?
a. __ G -- the white note between the first and second
black notes in the group of three black notes; or,
b. __ G-sharp -- the second black note in the group of
three black notes.
c. __ It depends.
d. __ Some other answer (specify).
Thanks!

finished moonlight sonata, what next?
December 10, 2008, 09:06:24 PM by bradengineer

hi I'm just looking for some suggestions on what i should learn next. I just taught myself the first movement of Moonlight Sonata, I'm a beginner. It's the third song that i've actually learned. Over the past year I've taught myself to read music and play piano. I start college in the upcoming spring semester for music/piano so any advice as to what would be good to have under my belt would be appreciated.

Fantasie Impromptu/Moonlight Mov. 3 within reach?
November 06, 2008, 03:04:58 AM by butters109

Right now, I'm working on the g minor Rach prelude, and I'm nearly finished with it. I've been playing for about 8 years I think, but I started fairly young, so I've only just started playing more difficult music. The most "difficult" pieces I've played and memorized so far are probably the Chopin Nocturne op 9 no 2 and the first Gerswhin prelude. I'm working on one of the easier Beethoven sonatas right now as well, Op 14 no 1 I think. Do you think it'd be worth it to try to go for the fantasie or moonlight sonata after I'm finished or not?

too late for someone like me to learn the 3rd movement of moonlight sonata?

Before you make a post: Yes, I know Moonlight sonata in general is overplayed, and it probably has an infamous reputation amongst pro level pianist, this means nothing to me, I may not be able to play piano very well, but I know enough to know that Moonlight sonata 1st and 3rd movements are probably going to remain somewhere near the top of my favorites list no matter what, another piece which I discovered trough listening that I like alot is Scriabin's (Did I spell that right?) Etude in D# Minor Op.12, I know it's an etude, but I've never heard music like this before, same goes for all his music, he owns. period.
To the point, I have listened to ms1 and ms3, as well as ms2 (really just think no.2 throws of the ambiance of 1 and 3, and I have realized, that ms1 alone, is a large feat, the finger technique required is no big deal, it's the parts where I have to make the pinky sound like a 3rd voice, and the tone alone is insane to control. (my maximum "comfortable" Stretch is an 8th.  , though, I can reach a 9th without to much problems, and if I spread like hell I can reach a 10th, but the rest of my hand is hanging from the fallboard.) then I personally looked at the 3rd movement, I just don't know if I can ever do something like that...
I'm 18 years old now. I have been playing for 2 months, I'm struggling to put money together for a mere 800$ digital piano, I have been doing this for years. The only thing I can do as of right now, is use my casio keyboard (No velocity touch ) to memorize the fingerings of scales and arpeggios, (and chords, which I have no knowledge of how to practice those) and even then, I can't even practice these scales and chords, and arpeggios simply because of my keyboard, which dosn't even have weighted keys.
As you can see, I'm in a terrible situation, I have absolutely no knowledge of how to get an acoustic piano that will work, and playing on the finest digital pianos is still conter productive, Keep in mind, my age, and the fact that I desire how to learn these 2 pieces, and master them, I want to be able to play moonlight, this song has been one of my favorites since I was about 4-5 years old, and it has a special place in my heart. the 3rd movement to me seems to represent some crazy reclusive scientist frustrated.  I love it's energy.
I have played several pieces already, making sure I don't actually learn anything that much, simply finger positions, etc, and to get a simple general idea of what I'll be up against, I know it will be hard work, and I don't doubt myself, but I know, that I, as a human being, have limitations set on me, expecially in this particular age range, and I want to know from you guys, because I know you know, you are in musical enviroments all the time, you around legendarie pianist all the time, you must know if someone this old can pull it off, I have pretty high hopes, because these two pieces really aren't so difficult in comparison to some other pieces, so yeah.
Can you guys also just help me get started on general ideas I should try to do?
I'm more than willing to get lessons, but I really don't want to do that unless I have a acoustic piano, and even then, I want the teacher to know what I want to do. All help is greatly appreciated, sorry I posted such a long post. I'm on the verge of insanity.

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st movement help plz

I try to play the Beethoven's piece: Moonlight Sonata 1st movement. I love to play this piece when I listen to it. When I play the piece to the bar 5, 6, and so on, I see the notes lie between the treble clef and the bass one. In the treble clef and bass clef, there are some notes too. It looks like the picture below:
I got stuck continuing playing the piece and it made me confused. Can anyone give me advices to play these bars in the piece? Thank you very much.
