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.

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 *****.
