I have loved this piece many years for a number of reasons, but resisted learning until recently as I finally feel 'ready' to devote to playing it. (After just having learnt Beethoven's Appassionata, I realize this may be a bit of a jump in technique, but am willing to work hard to achieve it.)
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions / tips on how to approach it, if it is a piece that you learn from beginning to end, what to look out for, or any other insightful things about the piece that you may have discovered or read about.
Thank you! |

How difficult is this piece? Somebody who played it? To what can you compare it?
I adore this piece. |

From my conservatory screening tape. Was paired with Schubert - Fantasie in C D.760
From a while back, hope you enjoy! :)
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Thank you for listening. |

| Why does it seem that whenever I read a cd review where the pianist played Islamey-always the reviewer mentions how difficult this piece is. I've never actually played it, but just looking at the score, it looks like one needs great octave and repeating note technique, endurance, and the ability to smash the keyboard. Honestly, I don't know how it got its reputation as the hardest in the literature-at least when there are other pieces out there that require far more musicality, and probably have more varied technical demands. Am I alone in this opinion of Islamey? |
