Post by: classicalnhiphop on November 07, 2013, 02:15:09 AM: I'd say that Rach 2 is hard mostly because of its 3rd movement. Rach 1 is probably harder if we are basing it only on first movements. Totentanz is AS hard, though longer, because it deals with very normal techniques like octaves and glissandos. But it is FAST.

No, he's taking the piss. He's suggesting that this thread doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Which it doesn't...

Of coure they don't - but then why would they, given that Circus Galop is for player-piano and therefore not for human performance?

Anyway, in answer to the question posed in this tiresome recycling of a thread type here - yes. Or maybe no.

Best,

Alistair
