Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies no. 1 & 14
on: June 14, 2005, 03:01:24 AM
I couldn't find any detailed posts on these two in particular.  I was wondering if anyone could tell me about them.  How difficult are they.  Most people have said that the early ones are the most difficult but no. 14 sounds really hard.  I followed along with the music while listening to it.  It's also really long and looks physically exhausting.  Is no 2 really harder?  I don't have a recording of no. 1 but i played through it and parts sounded cool.  I prefer no. 14 though and I'd like to play in the next couple years.  I don't know if I'll be ready though.  Any posts are welcome.

Thanks
