Bamboula

on: June 21, 2006, 04:31:53 AM

Have any of you played Bamboula by L.M. Gottschalk? I would really like to. If you have, how difficult was it?

I like The Banjo, too. and Le Bananier

I have played Le Bananier. Not too hard (well, depending on your skill of course). The most challenging was to get the fingerwork in the 2nd half up to speed without tiring out, cause it's gotta run like lightning and you don;t have time to rest.

Bamboula and The Banjo are the same level, more or less (maybe Banjo a notch higher). All three are about the level of, let's say, Liszt Liebestraume #3 or Chopin Polonaise op. 26.
