piano repertoire update
I feel like my piano has gotten worse.. endurance at least. Arms are getting tired playing stuff I could play before.
Butterfly Etude – memorized again, right hand re-learned. difficult to play without pedal, but oh well. “passable”
Liszt, Liebestraum – generally memorized, generally ’satisfied’ except the first technical passage
Rachmaninov, Prelude in G minor – this is proving more difficult than I expected. I thought I would only have to work on it stylistically because I could sort of, kind of play it already years ago, but my forearms get tired now and it’s not working :(
Probably some Debussy next since it’s pretty easy and should be fast. Maybe another Chopin Etude. A lot of Chopin bores me, so don’t know. Maybe I’ll check out his 2nd sonata or something like that.
Could re-memorize and polish Ravel’s Jeux d’eau
So that’s what’s next. I may try to change my approach and just focus on memorizing first.
