I'm one of those people who played for a couple years as a kid, stopped, and at age 22 am wanting to play seriously again. The piece my teacher started me out on was Clementi's Op.36 No.1 (1st movement), which was OK but took me about 3 weeks to learn...now I've been learning Bach Invention #8, and after a good month now I still have a mental block on a couple measures on the 2nd part, and playing it at proper speed can be pretty tough for me. I started learning Chopin's Op. 69 No. 2 as well a week ago which has come a lot easier to me so far than the Bach piece. I was just wondering what are the difficulty levels or grades of these pieces, I'm kind of concerned about the speed of my progression...but I am only able to practice maybe 4 days a week for a couple hours each. Another question, how do you deal with nerves? My teacher frequently points out a tendency I have to be pretty tense when playing, and I tend to get pretty nervous when I practice, especially if people are outside the room or whatever.
