Babadjanjan Poeme
on: May 09, 2007, 08:54:22 PM
What do you guys think of this piece?  I heard it at a recent competition and liked it immensely.
Is this piece as tough as  the first movement of Schumann's Sonata Op.22?

Thank you.

Arno Babadjanian- Poem is usually how I see it spelled, and yes it is a great modern showpiece.  A fair bit harder than Schumann Op.22 1st mov.

Yes its hard - but quite appealling - if your upto it and really love it - give it a go...just think carefully how you scale the other pieces your working on
