Just my grade V pieces at the minute. Have realised that my exam is in March and I'm really unpreprared. unsure.gif Panicking just a bit, even though I know I have over a month until the exam.

I'm working on Ravel's Sonatine (for the Dip) - the last movement at the moment ohmy.gif I think I'll get there in the end - shame it's got to go about double the speed I'm playing at the moment blink.gif What 'bits 'o Beethoven' are you playing?

Polishing up Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor Op 23 No 5 and revisiting his Concerto No 2 in C minor (1st movement). Playing around with Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No 2... wacko.gif

Gia Sole Dal Gange

and Vaccai lessons 3 and 4a)

For my own pleasure I'm working on Bach Prelude and Fugue in c minor (no 2 from the 48)

As a singing teacher I spend most of time learning Piano accompaniments and sight reading!

I'm mainly working on my pieces for the Egham concert: the Ravel Prelude, and the Seconda part of Debussy's En Bateau.

I'm still working through the Czerny 8-bar exercises, and I'm starting to look at a Mozart Sonata, K. 283.

Same here .... Primo part of En Bateau, & a piano accompaniment. Grade 7 pieces - Presto, Esquisse & Chanson d'escarpolette. I started the Ravel from list C but it wasn't doing my right arm much good - so I've had to stop practising it sad.gif . I really liked playing it.
The Old Lady
In The Pink, and Giga for grade one. Plus simple scales.
Haven't chosen the other piece yet.

SoNaTa6644
mozart sonata no. 8 K310

At the moment I am working on these:

1) Bach - Toccata no.5 in E Minor BWV 914
2) Faure - Barcarolle in A Minor No.1 Op.26
3) Shostakovich - Preludes 3 & 11 from 24 Preludes Op.34
4) Gershwin - Man I Love & I Got Rhythm

I also play a lot of Gershwin such as the transcriptions made from his radio recordings and his piano rolls and also his songbook for piano known as Gershwin at the Keyboard as I really like his music.

I also play some Beethoven, the Waldstein piano sonata which I am working on. I play a lot of jazz in my free time such as Cole Porter and more traditional swing type jazz such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, etc I like the freedom in jazz where you can improvise. I do play some film themes and contemporary modern pieces. In the past I have played a bit of Chopin but now I am starting to learn more of his pieces.
