    I want to go and find the sheet music actually... 🙂

    There are sections that are probably too hard for me though...

    @ShiroKuro There are a couple of large spans that need to be rolled. But slow, methodical practice should make it attainable.

    According to piano syllabus dot com, grade 8. There's a video on this page with follow along score:

            @Bernard thanks!!

            So yeah…. A classical piece graded at 8 is probably right at the edge of, or just beyond, playability for me… maybe I could consider it in the fall, I’ll be working with the piano program on campus here, private lessons but I’ll have to play three pieces for a jury at the end of the semester And each piece has to be a different style … this will be a different kind of lesson for me so it might be good to have a piece in the traditional repertoire…

            Fun to think about either way!!

              This reminded me of something. We people who play professionally are so focused on the next gig or project that we forget we can just go back into this standard repertory and just play it for ENJOYMENT. Often without much practicing. And it is so soul-satisfying. I am tempted to find the music for this Romance and just play it.

                  There’s a Mendelssohn Song Without Words called “Duetto” that is just lovely, a dialogue between the left and right hand. And a couple of Grieg pieces that are just so delightful. So yes, I do this now and then.

                    Duetto is one of my absolute favorite pieces. And the Brahms intermezzo that is in the same book with the one that started this thread. (Can’t remember the number).

                      Op 118 #2 is the one I think you are thinking of (you have played it for me. 🙂 ) That is my favorite Brahms piano piece. I wish I could play it. I've tried, but the middle section is just too hard for me.
