Gaspard de la Nuit

on: October 24, 2007, 04:46:12 PM

Is it possible to play? I mean, for us humans this piece can be played? Le gibet is simple in a way, but ondine and scarbo are vey impressives in dificult. Does any one here play them? Is there anything harder than these pieces in the over played repertoire? Like some romantic etudes?

I don't think Le Gibet is easy at all(although I admit it is way less technically burdensome than the other two)... I don't think any of the chopin etudes are harder than the whole gaspard de la nuit, though some may surpass Le Gibet only in terms of technical difficulty(The stretches in Le Gibet are killer for me though, since my hands can reach a 10th on the right only with serious difficulty-white to black impossible though). Liszt's Mazeppa and Feux Follets may be comparable in terms of difficulty, but I'm not sure as I've definitely not played either(nor have I played Gaspard haha). I think quite a few people can play gaspard de la nuit in these forums if my memory serves me correctly... so I don't think it's impossible, but just a big big challenge, even for virtuosos.

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me.
