Opinions on 3 Hardest piece of Sergei Rachmaninoff

[buhdaporn]

Hi again , I love classical music and I love Rachmaninoff because he is a great composer. His songs are fantastic dynamic and play with aggressive movement. I quite confuse about his piece which is the hardest. I would like to ask Rachmaninoff's fans that which is 3 hardest pieces?

I think that Rachmaninoff Prelude Op. 23 No. 5 and some kinds of etude tableaux are the hardest. I'm not quite sure...

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions? (1 is the hardest)
Thanks for any ideas.

It's clearly not Op. 23 No. 5.
His concerti are very difficult though

[communist]

1. Concerto no.3 in D-moll

2. Concerto no.2 in C-moll

3. Sonata for cello and piano in g-moll (both parts are very difficult)

[edwardweiss]

1. Concerto No.3 in D Minor Op.30
2. Variations on a Theme of Chopin Op.22
3.  Prelude in D flat Op.32 No.13
3[a] Earl Wild's transcription of 'Torrents of Spring' Op.14 No.11.

[opus10no2]

The Ebminor prelude

[w_young913]

concerto no.3 is definitely the hardest however the next rly arent that simple

[aslanov]

1. Piano concerto no. 3
not sure about 2nd and 3rd, but im pretty definite the rhapsody on a theme by paganini is in there. on a purely technical comparison, no its not in the top 3, but the piece as a whole....its immense.

[tuufy]

concerto no 3
paganini rhapsody
some op 39 etudes are quite tricky
and yes definetly cello sonata !
and !! he's grand trio... some says it to be harder than the no 3 concerto.

[pianoplayjl]

Concerto no 3
Concerto no 2
Moments musical 4 (I love that one)

This thread is like 2 years old. Why was it revived?

[pianoplayjl]

Because there are old threads that interest me.
