For the next challenge I would suggest Liszt's Mazeppa, or the Chopin's Polonaise Op. 44, or perhaps the Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 3.

[balladin]

this piece is the entire reason why I started playing piano 3 years ago

[Fanchen]

I’ve played it some years ago but never was really satisfied with it, I can see it as a lifetime study. Love the piece, extremely fun once it’s in your fingers.

[TheRickuren]

I remember when my piano teacher was working on this piece, he showed me that at the beginning he would hook the little finger of one hand around one of the notes in the chord in the other, then play the rapid D# notes like a tremolo, alternating between fingers 1 & 5 — except the 5th finger was playing a note that was already being depressed by the other hand! Brilliant!

This is my first time watching your challenge. Thank you SO much for showing the first minute. Our culture is increasingly performance based and we must demonstrate process-thank you!!!

[Mkshoffmeister]

This piece definitely belongs in your repertoire, if you ask me. At first it sounds a bit random and avantgarde, but i'm sure if you master it, it will be an outstanding and off-mainstream highlight.

[santiagocaldeira]

That was amazing in just one hour, I'd love to see a challenge on the Ondine part, it's so beautiful!

[aaronxu]

It’d be interesting to see how well Annique could perform an easy piece in 1 hour

[tim_]

Wie du das in einer Stunde lernst, ist einfach nur insane. Ich hätte immer noch am ersten Akkord herumgetüftelt😅

[davidw]

That was amazing progress for just one hour.

I’ve played the Pavane for a Dead Princess. It’s a beautiful piece, but very tricky, with inner voices switching between hands.

[dalmacietis]

The piano at my parents' home has a terrible, sticky/heavy action. It's hard to play trills and tremolos on it. I may be picking a new instrument for myself soon, so would love to hear your thoughts about the action :)

[colin_d_smith]

Wow! Super impressive how well you did with this over such a short space of time. Well done!!

[mycraftdiaryy]

Really enjoyed this video, it’s nice to see how you tried to overcome the struggles in practicing. I also love how casual you are in sitting on the piano bench, my piano teacher would have chopped off my legs if I ever did that!

[QuinTekno]

Omg I’ve never clicked a notification so quick, waited so long for this one! 😱🤩

[sla]

I’d really like to see you trying ondine also from ravel’s gaspard de la nuit
It’s a really beautiful and technically challenging piece and I would really like to see how you will solve some of the problems while learning the piece because of the way it is

[yssubed]

For one hour that was pretty impressive!! I’ve played some Ravel and want to learn the Waltzes Noble et Sentimental at some point. I find the hand choreography the most difficult with Ravel with hands often on top of each other. So I stick more to Debussy.

[beansarebest]

I've been struggling with a Ravel piece... but watching this inspires me to practice because it is very true that one must find those instances to relax so that the wrist can play the notes lightly and quickly. Well done! Yet again another great video. Love this series

[Calleyy_]

as a pianist 4 years ago ravel's scarbo piece is so hard but once you got it you can just do it on repeat to make it perfect

[peterhaselden]

You are absolutely incredible! Without a doubt you have this. It is my favourite piece, I can only dream of playing it. You were so close working just an hour, I am in awe.
