    here thats brill!!

    im not saying i dont like it but does any1 like the 2nd movement?? it would be my last fav. outta the 3 movements.
    Is the 3rd movement meant to be quite hard then I take it?

    Yeah, the 2nd movement is not too bad by itself. But when compared against the 1st and 3rd movement, its nothing special, even to the point of being quite ****.

    No, I'm not really into classical music.
    I'm doing these pieces as part of my grade 8 piano exam though:

    Sonata in D- Domenico Scarlatti
    Sonata in E minor- Ludwig Van Beethoven (quite a good one though its 8 pages!)
    Autumn Crocus- Billy Joseph Mayerl

    I played the first two!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the E minor one... the fast bits were really difficult to keep quiet, but got there at the end. I did the Intermezzo instead for the C piece.

    yep, I was going to take the old syllabus, and this piece was one of my choices. I loved that piece too, I got a bit Chopin-obssessed for a while.... the first few bars is really showing off.
