I'm plowing through heaps of piano sight reading (grades 5 & 6 ish) but I find I've met my match with Brahms' Waltz in Ab (Op 39 No 15). It's not lending itself to being sightread.

aswell as about 5 grade 3 pieces on the go and some burgmuller, I've also started having a go at The Eve of War from War of the Worlds. I fell in love with the music years ago and was reminded of it the other day and decided I wanted a go at it. May take me a good while but it's fun trying. The stretches are a bit hard (ok it,s only an octave chord but I have teensy hands) but good practise :-)

I love that piece of music! I've never tried playing it, but can totally sympthasise with having teensy hands-I've spent the last six months doing scales in octaves and practicing octave stretches, and I can still only just reach! (Mind you, I was struggling for a seventh before I started doing the scales and stretches )

Just downloaded that from free-scores.com - it does look a bit tricky for sight reading! I think I'll try it quickly before I go to bed.

And I can sympathise with that I've resigned myself to the fact that most of Rachmaninoff is not going to be in my repertoire but there is still way more music I want to play that is possible in my lifetime. I'll just have fun trying

I'm trying to make Corrente by Handel sound like music at the moment. I've just about got the fingering right, but rhythm is more than a little awry at present!
