Repertoire

[4rbd]

I need help for choosing my repertoire..

Forget which one is the hardest.  Choose the one that you feel you can play the best.

No, it's not.
You can't really compare a set of mozart mozart variations with a beethoven sonata. They are so very different...

yes, but technically Beethoven is harder?

[pianisten1989]

Gaah! No, it's not!
More notes isn't always harder. In Mozart, you're basically not allowed to miss a single note, and every note need a meaning. In beethoven to, but not as many details as Mozart.

Some great big name in the classical music realm once said something along the lines of "music is too easy for children and impossibly difficult for artists."

I would be inclined to agree.

With that said, Mitsuko Uchida is pretty much without reproach when it comes to Mozart, whether it's his Concertos or his Sonatas.

Pathetique is harder than Mozart`s kv 576?

[pianisten1989]

Did you even read what we just wrote?

576

[ivorybabe247]

with every composer there are different peices that are harder than other, you can't peg one peice as being the hardest by just looking at it, some require major ability like i've been told with Beethoven's Waldstein, if you look at it, it seems easy, but it could ruin a pianoist's career if performed incorectly. with piano you have to realize the technical difficulty and try for the peices that are within your boundaries at that time.

please do not put so many great pieces in one place...
