this piece caused me a lot of pain but i still love it

[@barney6888]

This prelude is not very long, but in no way is it little. It has complex, multi-directional movement that is challenging and requires patient, relaxed, well focused practice. It's not easy and it's not meant to be. Your reward is playing an exciting piece of music and a real boost of confidence.

[@william-projetopiano2312]

I’m studying it now and I can say you’re right.... Trying to get things right on the first half, and it’s quite challenging

[@viksinha5410]

I learned it in less than a week; it is little

@@barney6888 When I said I learned it in a week, that's literally all I was doing. So you are right when you say that it requires patient and focused practice. And by little I meant in terms of length, not difficulty. In terms of difficulty I would say it is medium.

[@stevenxia2944]

Definitely not an easy piece. I found it is really difficult to control the counter point.

Man, some of you kids have clearly had terrible experiences with musical education. Such a shame

[@bykevinzhong]

Yep, there's countless kids in this comment section that hates this piece cause it's too difficult for them

[@giroliro3]

for real. though if I was made to play piano by my parents I would probably hate it too. However, since I chose it myself (and I also like it way more than trumpet which is my former primary instrument) I fell in love with it

[@vcparodi]

That's why I want to be a music teacher. I had to go through 7 teachers until I found a great one.

[@L3_cHat]

idk why everyone hates this peice. tbh im kind of sick of it cus i’ve been learning it for a really long time but it still sounds really pretty and great. bach really was a genius

[@josephineh4048]

i hate this song my piano teacher told me to play it and i hate every single part of it i cant connect with it and it jusg feels so polished and i just hate everything about it

[@advaitramesh164]

Thank you for your opinion. I think this is a beautiful piece with beautiful counterpoint and modulation, but maybe I’ll gain your opinion when I start actually learning it.
