If you do however, still decide to learn it, I wish you luck. If you really want to start on Chopin you'd be better off playing his Prelude in E minor (op28/1) or the A major op28/7 prelude. It just won't sound good without a lot more time spent playing piano and interpretive know-how. However, the big issue comes in making the interpretation sound up to par, this will especially be difficult for a new learner. It should be easy to memorize and as a beginner you could push your way through it. If you learn how to side-read the piece is pretty nice with the patterns being easy to recognize. I don't really think it's as difficult as some people make it seem, either. :-)Ĭhopin's Nocturne op 9 no 2 is one of the easiest nocturnes, but that does not make it actually easy. You'll know when it's time to learn something a little bit tougher, just take small steps! I'd rather play an easy song well than a hard song sloppily, plus you can probably learn a dozen level-appropriate songs and improve a lot overall, for the time it would take you to get pissed off and give up on the Chopin piece. In my humble opinion, you're much better off choosing beginner pieces (i.e., RCM grade 1, maybe 2) at this stage, really playing them well, and building up your skills. I'm not trying to discourage you, but it is very likely that you will get extremely frustrated, and/or play the piece but miss a lot of the musicality and nuance that it requires to be played expressively. A good intermediate player might be able to learn it as a "stretch" piece over a few months. It would take most people many years of daily practice (and likely professional instruction) to get to the point where you could pick up a grade 9 (advanced) piece such as this and play it competently. It's RCM grade 9, which way, way, beyond what someone with 2-3 intermittent months of self teaching should approach.
