[f_minor] cheer up

[michael macelletti]

take heart  pat !!        we're just having a little harmless fun with this 
current thread of conversation. i'm sure most of us know that many of the really 
difficult works, such as the fugue from hammerklavier, ALL  of prokofiev and 
boulez, and certainly godowsky and sorabji , are just garbage.  ( the sheet 
music for the sorabji would be particularly absorbent as a garbage liner because 
of all the ink ! ) .    but, be encouraged!  many of the really difficult works 
contain entry level sections, or compositions, within them which are quite 
accessible.  i.e.  the aria and a few of the  variations in goldberg ;   op.10 
no.6 in chopin etudes, numerous chopin preludes. you just have to listen to 
these works before, and get inspired to go where you were afraid to go ( before 
).

The Schumann Kinderszenen are wonderful pieces and some are quite easy to play.
