I have been learning Pathetique (3rd mvt) for half a year. I've had my Grade 4 exam in 2005 and just had my theory exam in Feb. I am going to have a Grade 6 exam. I want to know if Pathetique is suitable for me if I learn it in a gradual progress. If not, so what do you recommend? Is "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" by Debuusy suitable for me? I am afraid that my fingers are overtrained as I play Pathetique and it sounds to be very diffecult. But some advises me to go on learning it as it will improve my skills greatly. Please give some advice.

I would take the advice of your teacher.
