Chopin's Scherzo No.2 or Ballade No.3

[pocho]

I need some help trying to choose between these 2. I wish I could play both, but I can only learn one. Which do you guys think I should pick?

Scherzo no.2

Defenitely Scherzo no. 2 !!!

Ballade 3

They're both amazing I don't prefer one over the either but if it makes any sort of difference Ballade no.3 is a bit easier than the scherzo although it has some tricky passages.

I don't know about easier (although I'm only going by what I've heard)... but the 3rd Ballade seems more beautiful to listen to (in my opinion).

or pick the one you most like.

I'm personally a fan of the Scherzo, but this may be because after hearing the first Ballade I just couldn't get into the others, it was too good. The Scherzo is extremely tricky, though. I spent months working on it and in the end it still wasn't ready for a jury. Gorgeous, though, and a wide range of technical demands to keep you busy, if you can't manage them yet.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions. I chose the Ballade.

Good choice
