What’s the hardest piece of keyboard music you have ever had to learn? In the course
of my piano playing career I have been challenged by many different
pieces. The most difficult of which was one of Rachmaninov’s
preludes in C sharp minor. This piece of music challenged me in a
way that no other piece has and to be honest I have never really
nailed it to perfection. I loved the piece but frankly it was just
a little difficult for my skill level.
My feeling is that when you come to learning full songs on the
piano you should choose songs that you can progress slowly but
surely and maintain your motivation, by continuing your success.
However I think that sometimes it is productive (and fun) to take
on a piece that is really hard for you.
It is always good to challenge yourself in everything you do. This
is true for everything in life. Though in general it is best to
progressively improve your skills, I think something can be gained
from taking the occasional big leap forward. The reason for this is
that it can introduce you to new techniques and ideas that can
advance your playing. Also when you go back to playing your normal
songs you will find them a lot easier.
I invite you to leave a comment on what you have found to be
your hardest piece of keyboard music, and what you did to master it!
