Title: Very short and difficult pieces
Post by: pianoplayjl on February 22, 2012, 10:28:03 PM

I want to hear some very short but difficult pieces and hoping to add it to my future repertoire. Preferably the piece is around the 1 minute mark, if possible.

this is neat little work marked 'quasi solo concerto', i love cool piece but it's so short i have pushed back on myself for working it up for a school performance, read through the other day so thinking on changing thoughts...i may pick it up as an afterthought when i work up some more ff pc pieces i have lined up this summer.

i can pm you score if you want me to upload it to my mediafire if you want (i reccommend the buying the whole book-mine came in a few weeks ago- theres great music there, but probably not worth it if you only plan on going for this short little 2 pager).

attached a screen shot for preview of partial view of the first page, i think that's allowed i see it on music shop sites all the time as a preview view.

I have written a short little etude based on the Lambadatheme that I can send over if you want. It´s just over a minute long  ;)

A few Liszt and Godowsky Etudes come to mind...
Liszt - S. 137 no. 2 (<2 minutes)
Liszt - S. 140 no. 4 (~2.5 minutes)
Liszt - S. 140 no. 4b (~2.5 minutes)
Godowsky - Study no. 4 (~2 minutes)
Godowsky - Study no. 47 (~1.5 minutes)

Rach's Op. 23 no. 9 Prelude (<2 minutes) isn't as hard as the above pieces, but it's arguably one of his hardest non-Concerto works.
