Living in the country, where there is no teacher available, I would thank you for telling me what Etudes I ought to study. I have finished those by Cramer and Moscheles, and can play them well, but find those by Chopin too difficult. Are there no intermediate works?
You seem to be fond of playing Etudes. Well, then, I suggest:
"Twelve Etudes for Technique and Expression," by Edmund Neupert.
"Concert Etudes," by Hans Seeling (Peters Edition).
"Etudes," by Carl Baermann (two books), published in Germany.
"Etudes," by Ruthardt (Peters Edition).
But why not select an easy Etude by Chopin and make a start? The best preparation—if not the Etudes themselves—is Heller's Opus 154.
