Brahms with THREE GOLD MEDALS


But Liszt's is still pretty tough

And no I think they are just about the two hardest variations on this theme.

The Rachmaninoff Paganini Rhapsody is considered quite tough too.

Yeah that too - actually it might just be harder than Liszt's, on second thoughts.

The Hamelin-Liszt-Paganini Campanella is probably the technically hardest though.

Which Liszt variations do you mean?

Fantasie di bravura sur la clochette, or something else?
