Which is easier to mess up in a performance?
on: August 28, 2006, 05:52:26 PM
Hello, I am planning to play one of these in a performance next year. Does anybody have some experience in playing them in public? Lessons learned? One that is easier to control?

Thanks.

#24 is very tricky with hitting all the right notes because of its gymnastics.  Octaves are safer.  I have no experience/knowledge with op. 10 No. 8
For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)
