xx Difficulty of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto by Movement
April 10, 2011, 05:40:27 PM by davidjosepha

I've heard that Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto is extraordinarily difficult. I was wondering if that is every movement, or if one in particular is much more difficult, or anything. I know the first is quite long. Could someone tell me the order of difficulty of the three movements, and how much more difficult the most difficult is than the second most, and least. Thanks!

xx Tchaikovsky 1! Greedy?
August 28, 2010, 06:45:49 AM by pianorama

I've chosen Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto (the first movement) to play in a concerto competition, and frankly I don't know if my piano teacher will just laugh when I tell him of this plan of mine. Well, I know he won't (he's too cool for that ^^) but I am facing fear of the... hugeness of this piece. I did Grieg's piano concerto a little over a year ago, just the 1st movement also, which actually turned out quite well, but I mean whoaa Tchaikovsky is sort of on a whole other plane. I feel like such a little kid right now asking what you guys think but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks I'm being over ambitious. Right now I'm going for it and I plan on going for it, but I'm scared of not having enough time or ability to do a really awesome job. I just love it too much though, I can't help from having magnificent visions of myself on stage with orchestra and, and... *dreams*

xx Tchaikovsky PC1 arpeggio
May 27, 2010, 05:44:25 PM by amr1980

The second arpeggio (d dim7) in the opening cadenza is giving me trouble.  I was trying to watch Weissenberg to analyze his technique and see how he executes it.  However, after watching it many times in slow motion, I just can't seem to see what fingering he's using.  In fact, it almost looks like he doesn't play the a-flat (!). 

I'm wondering if anybody will have any observations about his fingering, and what he's doing with that a-flat.  Indeed, I hear the a-flat, but I wonder if he just catches the edge of the key, or I'm just not seeing something.  For example, at 00:13 it seems like he just doesn't play it.  It seems like the most practical fingering is to have the thumb on d, but I'm not positive that's what he's doing.  Below is the original and a slowed down version.

Thank you.

xx Piano concertos: Rachmaninov Vs. Tchaikovsky
March 24, 2010, 09:47:31 AM by bluesyboy1

Ok now, I now that there in no "versus" as far as comparing these majestic composers. I was wondering however about the age-old question. I would like to ask the learned, perhaps preferably those who have played the concertos the following questions. Is Rachmaninov's 3rd piano more difficult pianistically than Tchaikovsky's first? Which has a more difficult keyboard work?

xx Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 1 Manuscript
December 15, 2008, 08:26:38 PM by zyschqual

Hello,

would anyone know if the manuscript of Tchaikovsky's Concerto No 1 was published sometime as a facsimile? Or if there are scans available? That would really make sense for the most popular concert in history.

Thanks!
Andreas

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
