Thank you for your advice. I have a hard piece I keep coming back to from time to time to see if I have made a bit of progress. But since it's really difficult, I don't expect to play it ever for real. Luckily there is no external pressure, my teacher has no idea ...

Hi Ray, teachers all over the globe recommend to pick a piece that is a little harder than one's current level which sounds like very sensible advice. But it's fun to try to play pieces that are way to hard! Could there still be a benefit in challenging myself with a piece that is too difficult for me?
