Which piano concerto of those is the less difficult?

[franz_]

- Grieg concerto
- Gershwin 'Rhapsody in Blue'
- Shostakovich 1
- Shostakovich 2



Thanks a lot in advance.

Without knowing the Shostakovich, I'm going to venture the following guess:

If one of them is within your grasp, they probably all are. Pick the one you like the best.

Shos 2 methinks

[point of grace]

choose grieg´s... the nicest
it is not that it´s easy... but it´s more famous, and not that difficult

Mine is not a difficulty response.  But instead of the Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, I would substitute his Concerto in F on your list.  It's a beautiful cyclical concerto.

Rhapsody in blue is definitely the easiest on this list.

Off the top of my head I would say Shost 1 is the most difficult of the list.

Shosty 2 by quite a margin I would say.

'Rhapsody in Blue' is probably the easiest of the selection. Having said that, the cadenza is not all that easy, with those rapidly repeating notes. The work also needs a lot life and sparkle. Good luck in your selection.
