Fryderyk Chopin

I’ve been playing piano for about 5 months now and it has been a lot of fun as well as rewarding even though I’m not taking formal lessons.   I really enjoy classical music, especially works by Chopin.   My goal is to be able to play some or all of his nocturnes,  but I still have a ways to go.   That being said, I still wanted to play at least something he wrote.   So, I decide to try Prelude in E minor No. 4, Op. 28.   The first time I heard it, I thought it was a piece I could learn relatively quickly and I was right.     However, I will say that it is much more difficult to play than it sounds.   While I can play the entire piece, which isn’t long, I still need to practice.   There are a couple complex cords in the left hand I’m still not able to form as quickly as I would like, but I’ve got all the right hand parts down pretty well.   Eventually, I want to record my playing, but until I get the equipment I want to record my piano with, I’ll keep practicing.
