Liszt Concert Paraphrase of Rigoletto
on: November 16, 2006, 09:45:23 PM
How hard is this piece compared with Reminiscences of Don Juan and Balakirev's Islamey? (I may be completely ignorant about this, but I've always had the impression that its watered down technically compared to both of the aforementioned pieces.)

Rigoletto is MUCH MORE easier than Islamey and Don Juan..

Islamey is just an etude on steroids, truly.

Don Juan rules, in my opinion (H).
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.)

Rigoletto is easier than both, definately.
