I absolutely love the final novelette in the Schumann Op.21. This is definitely a piece I want to learn in the future. I watched somebody perform it at a competition and it looks tough to play. Is it much harder than the Ravel Sonatine? Thanks.
What are your opinions on the Novelettes?

Are they programmatic pieces? |

What do you mean by programmatic? There are eight, the commonly played ones are no.1 and no.8(I haven't heard anyone play these live before, and couldn't find mp3s of nos.2~7). It should be ARCT level methinks(Canada). |

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me. |

I was thinking about that because of their name "Novelette" which I thought might have some relationship with novels.  Maybe it means something else. |

I had to learn the first one for my Trinity performer's certificate. They are demanding technically but when you get a grasp of them, they become quite fun to play. The best recording that I have heard is Richter, although many great pianists have recorded parts or one or two of them.

I played no.1 as a grade 10 exam piece. Both no.2 and no.8 are ARCT(Canada). Ravel Sonatine would be... dunno...  |

What does that mean?
I would def. say that the Schumann is a bit harder than the sonatine (that is to play it correctly) |

It means I don't know  Ravel Sonatine could be a Spanish Fruit Dessert for all I know. |
