Concerto comparisons
on: August 22, 2005, 04:54:11 PM
How do these concerti rank against each other in terms of technical difficulty?

Mozart K. 467
Schumann
Scriabin
Rach 1
Rach 4
Prokofiev 1
Liszt 1
Liszt 2
Rhapsody in Blue
Rach Paganini

Thanks!

All I can say is that Mozart is the easiest, and schumann is a close second. Rach 4 is probably the hardest.

Prokofiev1 (the hardest IMO)
Rachmanonov 1, 4 and Liszt 2 (the same level))
Rachmaninov Paganini
Liszt 1
Scriabin
Mozart k.467
Rhapsody in Blue
Schumann

It's always relative and different for different people, this is my estimation, hope it helps you! :D

to play rhapsody in blue really well, i'd say leave it where it is.  i actually like the alphabetical order, somehow.  lazy, i know, but believable.  the liszt IS hard.  maybe the scriabin i'd put near the end, but i haven't played it so i don't know.

Just out of curiosity, which mouvement of the Rach 1 do you claim hard? I wanna know because im playing the 1rst mouvement so I just want to compare how it would be to do the whole concerto.
