I think I will put this off for a few months while I study it and learn some more stuff that I should already know (if I took lessons) such as the pedal markings and the italian expressions. I would probably confuse myself even more. Good luck, and we'll look forward to your recording in the ABF piano recital in about a year's time I would pencil markings into the score, but it is uh.convoluted enough as it is. If you listen to a recording, you will hear how they fit it, and you can add them later when you have the basic rhythm and timing sorted out. As far as the ornamentation is concerned, which seems to be mainly grace notes, just leave them out for now. I'm about a level 4, also self-taught, and would feel comfortable learning this piece. Or if you have a music teacher wife as I do, ask her - and sometimes she has to look them up in the dictionary The Italian terms are common in a lot of music - I would look them up in a music dictionary and pencil the meanings on the score. When I first listened to this on my Chopin Preludes cd, it gave me the chills, and that almost never happens. It's just that this piece is so awesome and impressive when it's played with emotion, and I want to be able to play this very badly. Perhaps I should put this piece off until I gain some more experience. I'm sure that I could learn the notes pretty quickly, but I doubt I could play it even close to how it is supposed to be. And your comment, while "not technically difficult" requires "close study in a musical sense". I'm sure that this will be a great resource for me in future endeavors. Sandy pointed a link to a good one recently:. There are lots of music glossaries online so you can just google for the annotations you don't know yet. Prelude 15 is grade 7 ABRSM and while "not technically difficult" requires "close study in a musical sense". I can't give you any advice because I do not play it yet but here is some info from the source I have.
