Schumann Vs. Liszt- the ultimate showdown
on: July 28, 2005, 06:23:04 AM
jk.  nothing big like i tricked you into thinking.  I just need to know if you guys think i should learn Liszt's Ballade No. 2 or Schumann's Fantasy Pieces Op. 12.  I prefer the ballade but I'm not sure it's as useful to have in rep.

Liszt. You'll help promote a pretty underplayed piece.

yeah i've decided to definitely go with the ballade no. 2.  it's one of Liszt's best pieces, if not the best IMO.
