The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music
A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

What do you think of playing Rachmaninov's Op.39-9 in D major for...

..an etude in college auditions (MM or DMA)?
Do you think this etude is not as technically difficult as other ones like 39-1, 39-6, or 33-6 or most of the Chopin's or Liszt's etudes? Also, I wonder how popular this piece is for those working on etudes for preparing for the auditions... :)
