Does anyone know a dark peice?

[pies]

The suites aren't that difficult

[cygnusdei]

Literally dark:

Chopin Etude op. 10 no. 5 "Black keys"
Scriabin Sonata no. 9 "Black Mass"

[soliloquy]

The suites aren't that difficult

Scelsi middle period pieces are INSANELY difficult.  And as technically nasty as they are, 40 minute microtonal pieces are by definition alone gauntlets of interpretation, touch and voicing.

[pies]

You're obviously a shitty pianist

[pies]

Oh and I've seen the sheets to Sciarrino's 4th sonata, not too hard really.

[pianochick93]

Just because the piece seems "not too hard" for you, it may not be the same for everyone else.

Levels vary, skill specialties vary. Just because someone finds something dificult that you don't, does not mean that they are a shitty pianist.

Doesn't get much darker than Alkan's op. 63 no. 8 titled "Chanson de la Folle au bord de la mer" which translates into something like "Mad women at the edge of the sea".

Its well within you difficulty level & sounds great.

I've attached the sheets & an mp3.

Menancyandsam, are all those preludes dark too? or just "Chason de la Folle au bord de la mer"?

Literally dark:

Chopin Etude op. 10 no. 5 "Black keys"
Scriabin Sonata no. 9 "Black Mass"

Black keys actually sounds happy, not dark, and I couldn't find a midi for Black mass, do you have a link to one?

[retrouvailles]

That is one piece where a MIDI will not suffice. You will just have to get a recording.

[alpacinator1]

Possibly Rachmaninoff's Prelude op 3. no 2


(Although it's more sad and depressing than dark)

[cygnusdei]

Another literally dark piece

Handel Air and variations "The Harmonious Blacksmith" from Suite in E, HWV 430

? That peice isn't dark at all.

[ahinton]

? That peice isn't dark at all.

Indeed not, so one must perhaps suppose that the writer who suggested it was seeking merely to make some kind of point about the blackness of the varied smith as portrayed by the German composer in question whom the British adopted as English (an arguably black art in itself).

Before this thread "progresses" any farther (if indeed it does), perhaps someone might like to venture a definition of the word "peice"...

Or pehaps not...

Best,

Alistair

I dont understand what your saying but what i mean by "piece" is a peice of music for piano, if thats what your asking for.
