I just picked up the guitar and started playing a couple of days ago. My fingers are so sore from just trying to get certain finger postitions down. I'm having a friend of mine give me lessons and hopefully I'll get good enough to actually so something on my own with it.

get those fingers stretchin'!you won't believe how much it helps and get that pinkie workin too!It's an incredibly valuable tool for playing!

interesting, but I was only able to recognize just the last piece, and I've heard it performed on a harpsicord instead of a piano. The other two, I never heard them, or I had and just didn't pay much mind until I read your post, so call me stupid :-P. So I obtained these three songs and gave 'em a listen, and they're pretty. I've been around pianists my entire life, and so I have a clue as to what makes a good pianist or not. I guess you are one hell of a player if these songs are in your repertoire, keep it up!

Out of all the piano pieces I have heard, though, there is one piece that never fails to impress me as long as the right hands play them, and that is Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66 by Chopin. I know its a popular piece, and if you ever played or heard it, and I'm just curious, where does it fall in the range of your ability?

Here in the states, there is someting called the Certificate of Merit tests, you ever heard of those? It is this nation-wide test that is taken every year for those that play piano, although I think there are tests for other classical instruments as well. I don't know if CM is an international thing or not, so I'm also wondering, does Holland have something like that?
