on: November 10, 2007, 05:48:04 AM

It is number 14 the hardest one?

Please rank them

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Is this the kind of nonsense that pianists are preoccupied with these days. The whole easy-hard thing is probably one of the intellectual barricades that's going to lead so many of you to play electric keys in wedding bands or quit music entirely.

It would be nice to hear someone actually ask an interesting question about Scriabin...or anything for that matter!

I think you probably have an instinctive idea as to what's the hardest piece of the lot. When I was a student (some 10,000 years ago), I found out then that difficulty levels of pieces were and still are a highly subjective topic. I wouldn't be preoccupied with it.

Go and try sightread them all, and then rank them yourself.

I do that with most pieces now, although there are some bunches of pieces which are so difficult, I don't even bother ranking them until I am up to that skill level.
