Hardest Chopin piece

[kghayesh]

What do you think are the three nominees for the hardest Chopin piece

I mean including everything, the Ballades, Polonaises, Etudes, Scherzos .........etc.

that one etude thats also like a fugue

[kghayesh]

that one etude thats also like a fugue

I guess you mean the Winterwind etude no.11 Op.25

[musicsdarkangel]

Winterwind....... a fugue?

How so?



Anyway, I'd put Sonata no 2 as a contender. 

To play it up to a speed that sounds good, the Scherzo no 1.  (Jablonski, Yundi Li)

Hmmm choice no 3 would be that 4th ballade.

I originally included the concertos, but I said the hell with it, I'll do solo piano.
