Yet another Chopin Poll
on: December 09, 2006, 11:21:57 AM
Please vote for one etude in Op10, and one etude in Op25. PLEASE do not unbalence the poll by voting your 2 votes on the same opus. In case you have made a mistake, you can always change your vote.

After voting, please make a decision between the HARDEST etude among all and post your winning etude here.

I have left the Nouvelles etudes out as I guess NOBODY would actually vote for them. ;D

Thanks,
ihatepop

Fine, lock the thread, nils. SOME people don't appreciate different specific answers.

Ihatepop, this poll isn't helpful or useful- the basic fact is that over the hundreds of times this question has been asked, a general answer has been formed:

Op.10 No.2 is the hardest of that set, Op.25 No.6 is the hardest of its set.

What's more, you have already invited criticism by naming your poll "Yet Another Chopin Poll". Don't you think we've seen enough of them already?

GO TO HELL

Okay, that obviously wasn't needed. But you can see how pissed off this can make us.  Please, give the 'Hardest Chopin pieces' thing a rest, will ya?

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.
