Easiest Romantic Pianoconcerto?

[franz_]

Which one is the one of the easiest in your opinion?

[counterpoint]

Mozart KV 467, 2nd mouvement   

[apion]

Of those in the standard repertoire for international piano competitions, my vote goes to Mendelssohn no. 1 in g minor.  It's a great concerto -- but it's relatively "easy."

I dont agree

The piano concerto num 1 by Glinka could be an option

well, Mendhelsohn are easier, and Grieg is easier of all other great piano concerto, but they are still difficult pieces for whic you have to practice a lot and for which you need a time..

Could anyone post an mp3 of glinka's and mendelssohns pianoconcerto?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[failed]

does anyone have the sheets for the mendelssohn concerto?
i want to have a look at it ..

I am now listening to Glazunovs 2nd concerto. Is it so difficult?
Anybody familiar with it?

[phil13]

I don't know of any "easy" romantic concerti. But the Mendelssohn concerti are near the bottom.

Phil

P.S. No.2 is SO much better than No.1

[lisztisforkids]

I believe its Kabalevsk's 3rd piano concerto. Even though it was written by a modern composer its in the romantic style.

[dnephi]

I don't like the mendelssohn because for how easy it sounds it's rather unpianistic .  Oh well, I'm stuck with it.

thats one concerto that truly dissappointed me. i expected more from him after hearing his 1st concerto. it isnt too bad, but it isnt one of the better ones ive heard.

The piano concerto num 1 by Glinka could be an option

Piano Concerto Num 1 by Balakirev (Not Glinka, my mistake) would be THE option

[jre58591]

perhaps take a look at rimsky-korsakov's piano concerto. its 1 movt, about 15 min, and not difficult.

Thanks for all the comments, but... anybody has sheet music of balakirev's or rimsky korsakovs pianoconcerto?

Thanks a lot in advance!
