Anyone else played any of these?

yes

Which ones do you like

Yes, I've played some. Which ones are you playing?

I've got the book of all 12

Erm..1st one in D, another one in D which is in 6/8 and one in C which I can't remember!

No. 9 is fun.
The rondo from no. 2 (sound a bit likie 'cockles and mussels').
No. 6 too.

Are these the opus 12 ? Yes I like what I've heard of them.

One of my students played the Rondo from the Emajor (no 12) for grade 5 this year. I've looked for the complete book but it never seems to be in stock and I've not got round to ordering it.

I don't like the one on grade 5 syllabus....cannot get my head, or should I say fingers, around it at all

Yes

Oh I really liked it - mind I usually only had to listen to it!

It does need really neat finger-work and is perhaps trickier than it looks
But I'm sure you'd be up to it Nat.

I've tried it, but it just annoys me because I can't do it.

Yes - I did number 1 for my grade five (1997 I think). The allegro in D... Maggie's right, they do take a while to get your fingers around, but it is worth it.

Have just been to go and play it - I can still do it just about but b38-41 needed so much concentration! I remember tearing my hair out when I played it originally!

Is that that bit at the bottom of the 1st page?! If so ARGH!! I hate that bit!

In my copy it's on page 2 about half way down, it's the bit where the RH is in semiquavers the whole time, almost Alberti bass style, but a different note each pair. Maddening!

Yes I know the bit you mean- insane part! I am not fond of that bit!

Hahaha.. my student on the contrary picked that piece. She said it was the lesser of the 3 evils!

i played the Rondo from his 12th Sonatina for my Grade 5, i EVENTUALLY had it sorted by my exam, and still managed to slip up playing it

james hook? do u mean the one who find out the hooke theory?

You what?!
