Fur Elise with lack of good teacher and lack of discipline it's the one of the only things I learnt to play on my own by deciphering the sheet, on a 50-key casio

Used to watch a Taiwanese movie called Secret and it has a piano duel scene. I tried playing that before and I think I can't do that anymore now.

I think that would be Ravel's Jeux Deau. Although I've learnt it, I'm miles away from mastering it.

I do S L O W practice as much as possible and break the piece into separate sections and go from there

The full version of Für Elise probably. Or it's not maybe that difficult but it was difficult back when I tried to play it. The transition from part B to part C was impossible for me to overcome back when I was 10 years old and wanted to perform it at school. Or I did do it when I practised at home but the day I was supposed to perform and I was practising at school I just couldn't do it.

I never had a music teacher so I guess it's impressive that I learned to play it even that well...

I really love and been practicing winterwind for years, its getting better now, I can play it quite good and relatively fast and with no tension, except somewhere near at the middle usually the tension arise. Usually I need 15 min warm ub before playing it

Also played revolutionary etude, ballade 1 etc.

Hard to come up with one answer, so here's several:

- Kingdom Hearts - Dearly Beloved Piano Collections version. A pretty popular one, but deceptively difficult since there's a part where you have to play two voicings with one hand, and there's some tricky chords as well.

-Clementi OP.36 no.1 mov 2. Even though it is slower than the other movements, it is more complex than and it has trills which is still pretty hard for me to play.

-DDLC - Your Reality. Another song that sounds easy but is hard to play. There's so much syncopation and parts where you quickly have to move your hands 2 octaves above or below.

Nice to see there's fellow pianists in here btw.

That's amazing! I gave up after a page of winterwind, the next few pages are a disaster lol. I used to play the revolutionary before but I haven't touched that in years too. I'm currently learning Waterfall but the slow practice is driving me insane rip
