After some discussion about piano goals with another piano-lover, and listening to the music of "The Buddha of Piano" (Godowsky), I have made up the following goal for 2005.
Master the Chopin-Godowsky etudes. Just kidding. But here's a link to an award winning recording. Mind you that it's damn near impoossible to attend a concert/recital where these etudes are part of the program.
The realistic goals are:
1. Finish and record 2 Beethoven sonatas. Op 27, No 2, "Moonlight," and Op 31, No 2, "Tempest."
2. Learn Diabelli Variations.
I'll try to have updates every 2 months.
