Hi, I want to learn a piano concerto. Right now, the only ones I can play are Chopin's 1st and some of Chopin's 2nd. I am interested in Schumann, Prokofiev 2nd, Ravel in G and Beethoven's 4th. They all look pretty hard, but before I try some out, can someone familiar with them let me know how hard they are compared to Chopin?

If you can successfully perform the Chopin E minor you should be able to handle the Schumann, Ravel and Beethoven. The Prok 2 will be a stretch.

I agree also with the exception of the Beethoven. I think it's a pretty big jump from Chopin's 1st.

If you can play Chopin 1st you should be able to handle Beethoven 4.

Technically, at least.


I have an ice cream. I cannot mail it, for it will melt.
