The meaning of your post is not clear. Do you want us to suggest Romantic repertoire for you to try? Do you want us to give you advice on how to overcome the emotional and technical barriers that you feel stand between you and a competent performance of a Romantic work? Do you want us to tell you what we think of your selection of the Schumann work, based on no knowledge of your pianistic ability or any of the repertoire that you have worked on in the past? Telling us that you are a "beginner at piano," even if it had been spelled correctly, does not give us enough information to answer any of these questions with any degree of accuracy, since we cannot, unfortunately, read your mind.

Schumann's Winterzeit I is a piece from Album for the Young. I don't think it's beginner's music, though. I think of it more as "music for the young at heart." Schumann injured his hands as a teenager and couldn't play at all, so I think he didn't realize how hard his Album is for beginners...

Before, I attempted to decipher your rather incoherent jumble of words, but this really is taking it too far. How do you expect me to know what that means? All I can infer from this is that you may be playing a Schubert Waltz or something called the Godfather theme, and the piano method you are using is of Turkish origin.

Several things come to mind:
1. Are you working with a teacher who can recommend appropriate music for you to learn?
2. Schumann can be extremely difficult to interpret. Even music that seems technically easy can be very challenging.
3. If you are a beginner, you might try posting your questions in the Adult Beginner's Forum. They would be more familiar with what you are working on.
Best regards,
Deborah

I like this piece. What can i do?Thanks. Wonderful question! Romantic period, 1825 - 1900, is a period where music explores new ways of composing, abandoning the structure and musical conventions of Classical Period of 1700 - 1825. It explores not just new musical formulas but also seek nature, mystery, nocturnal, spiritual, strange and national ideas or themes in the music. This period also puts heavy emphasis to extreme subjectivism. Often, but not all, works during period tend to push the boundaries of emotions as well as structures and styles of composing. Typical Urtex books were marked differently by professors during lessons in order to bring out more drama and emotion.

Nice way to talk to a new poster. Have you even considered that perhaps English is not his first language as he said he is using a Turkish piano method book?

If your native language is Turkish then you might write your post in Turkish and then translate to English which might make it more discernible.
You can copy and paste if you know how.

Ralph I doubt it will be better this way, since the syntax of his language is completely different. It's clear, though, he doesn't know enough to ask a well-informed question, so the best way to advise him is to refer him back to his teacher, who knows his capabilities better than we do.

Merhaba,
Here's an idea: Get a book of the Chopin Preludes Op. 28. They're mostly short- and thus easier to memorize- and very lyrical and Romantic in style. Many of the works in this opus are fairly easy (#7 and #4, for instance), and run the gamut of difficulty all the way to virtuosic (#16 is a killer). As you improve, more and more of them will be within reach.

Hi Tanblytmup, I understand that you're Turkish and are a beginning student, learning from a Turkish method book. Your book has versions of the Godfather movie theme, Debussy's Clair de lune, and a Schubert waltz whose number isn't specified in your book. It sounds like maybe you want to find more romantic music that's right for your level. If you can buy books of sheet music over the Internet, you could look at the online shop at www.abrsm.org. They have anthologies (collections) of romantic music at specific levels. If you think your question is getting lost in the Turkish-English translation here on Piano World, perhaps someone here can tell you how to contact a Piano World member named Ozgur. Ozgur was here a week or two ago asking for advice about a new piano that he received. His English is excellent; he might help translate for you.

Romantic period, 1825 - 1900, is a period where music explores new ways of composing, abandoning the structure and musical conventions of Classical Period of 1700 - 1825. This date is completely wrong. If you must attempt to assign starting and finishing dates to musical periods (which cannot be done accurately due to, among other things, the vast amount of overlap), at least come closer to the universally accepted date of 1750 (the death of JS Bach).
Regards,

I know that there are 75 years of Romantic Period and 75 years of Classical Period, which will put the Romantic period 1825-1900 and Classical Period 1750-1825. This is a silly math mistake. From the college music history classes, Romantic and Classical classes, we all know there are 75 years in both periods. The point I made still stands and has not changed, just the dates got added wrong. Best

Where did this come from? You're making it sound like there are absolute dates for both periods - there is a lot of overlap, and besides "Romantic" and "Classical" are not clearly defined terms. Early Classical music was composed long before 1750, and Beethoven was writing Romantic music before the 1825 date that you state. Meanwhile, late Romantic music was written by composers such as Rachmaninoff decades into the twentieth century.
