Romantic work

on: October 25, 2006, 10:00:20 PM

Dear Forumers,

I'm looking for a romantic work to play for a competition and I was considering either Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 or Chopin's Nocturne Op. 48 No. 1. Which one do you think I should choose? Which is harder? more impressive to judges? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would think 48/1 is harder. it is also good for competitions. judges are really impressed by it.

Liszt´s is way harder.

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

I was at a competition last year. The judge disqualified anyone who was playing Liszt. 6 people got into the semi-final and they all had played chopin...

Still i would go for the Liszt

Maybe something else than nocturnes ? And, maybe an over-zealous anti-Liszt *****.
