Is La Campanella Grade 8?

La Campanella is not, as you said, the most difficult piece out there, but it is still extremely difficult. However, you're no slouch yourself having finished Grade 8. Let me ask you this: Do you want simply to learn the piece, or do you want to learn it at a high level of mastery?

Your case is different. La Campanella is not, as you said, the most difficult piece out there, but it is still extremely difficult. However, you're no slouch yourself having finished Grade 8.

Let me ask you this: Do you want simply to learn the piece, or do you want to learn it at a high level of mastery? How disappointed would you be if you tackled it but never got it to expert levels?

I am somewhat ambivalent on the topic of "aspiration pieces." On the one hand I believe strongly that people should follow their hearts, and if there is a piece that is tugging at them to be learned, they should go ahead and tackle it. On the other hand, the risk in tackling a piece before you have the technique required for it is that you end up playing it badly and feel badly as a result. Only a few months after I started playing piano, I started learning George Winston's "Longing" because it was the piece that motivated me to take up piano. It was WAY too advanced for me at the time, but I didn't let that deter me. I ended up taking MONTHS to learn the piece, and while I got it in what I consider to be decent shape (I even submitted it for a recital last year), I could recognize weaknesses in my performance. I let it fall out of my repertoire, and I intend to take it up again perhaps this year and this time learn it a lot better. In hindsight, I think my time might have been more productively spent learning more pieces at a more appropriate level way back then. On the other hand, I loved the piece and I enjoyed working on something I loved. I suppose a compromise might be for you to start working on the piece for a trial period, say a couple of weeks, and if you don't feel happy with your progress at the end of the trial period you put it away for a while. We've gotten threads like yours several times in the past, but usually it's from somebody who's been playing a few months so it's easy to say "no frigging way!"Your case is different.
