Jordan Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I replied much earlier to this, when I was much less experienced. now I say : The Etude Revolutionary by Chopin. Fantasie-impromptu by Chopin. I'm in the middle of learning the Revolutionary. Damn. It's rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lex. Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Liszt's "La Campanella" Paganini's original is hard as hell. I think more so than Liszt's piano version of it. I can play some of Liszt's but zilch of Paganini's violin version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Caldwell Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Etude Revolutionary by Chopin. *hollow laugh* His first scherzo is WAY harder. As is, as we've established, La Campanella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FPSchubertII Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Your face is the hardest thing to look at in the history of mankind... I'd say for traditional cello concerti Schumann is up there as the hardest pieces mainly for expression. Dvorak is very difficult and technically challenging but the sorrow that envelopes the entirety of the Schumann concerto is hard to reiterate effectively.

mgrafe@indiana.edu Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hmmm. I think the Jolivet bassoon concerto tops the list for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
