Hey folks:

have you guys heard Chopin's Fantasia Impromptu??
The one in C#minor.
I reckon it's a beauty!!
But the fast part is quite challenging...
Anyone know what grade is it??

I put my grades in my sig so that people know how qualified my advice is, which is. not very qualified at all!

Hi

It is a beautiful piece and have tried it myself, however it is very challenging so havent managed to complete it yet!

I'm no expert but if you mean the piano version of the whole piece I asked that question before, and somone told me that it was around Diploma level.

If you're trying to play that thing on a violin you're giving yourself some hard work. Try a descant recorder. Hehe

No.. I meant the piano

And sorry but I was referring to the opening post! Was it meant to go on viva piano? I know the piece for piano. Not one I'm ready to try yet.

I would say all Chopin's work is a beauty.

Oooh I love it when my friend plays that piece! (almost a much as when he plays Debussys "pour le piano"!!)

O sorry folks:

this post suppose to go on to the viva piano board....don't know how it ended in viva violin...sorry!!

I really like that piece...but my friend messes it up. Chopin is horrible if you play it dirty, but it's beautiful if you play it "clean", I mean without your fingers slipping and proper fingering.

Ive been trying to master this peice 4 ages, and finally i think i am just about getting there. I really love all chopin. Does anyone else think tht the funeral march is infact a really beautiful peice and not at all morbid??
