Liszt: Soneto 104 and Soneto 123. Which is harder?
on: October 28, 2010, 04:06:15 AM
Hello

I need to learn one of those sonetos. I love them both but I need to play one of them.
In your opinion which one is harder and why?

Thanks a lot

104 probably.  But it's also more beautiful, in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure 104 is harder, and possibly a more effective piece intrinsically... but on the other hand, 123 isn't played nearly as often and is still very beautiful :)

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.
