Grieg Sonata is somewhat difficult and I'm not sure what Schubert piece you mean, so I can't compare.  I played the Grieg Sonata at a recital in college.  I love it!  The slow movement is gorgeous!!

I love it. It's not particulary hard, but very awkward - the left hand trills in the 4th movement are a nightmare to play in time, and theres lots of funny chord things. The 1st movement is also kind of hard.

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
