Moments Musicaux and Impromptus relative difficulty
on: December 13, 2011, 04:07:09 PM
I have been wondering, it feels like the general opinion is that the moments musicaux are, as a rule, easier than the impromptus by Franz Schubert. I can agree with that, but aren't the number 4 and 5 from moments musicaux at least just as difficult as some of the impromptus?
To sum it all up I have a few questions:
1.What grade would you set every single one of the moments musicaux and impromptus op.90 d 899 at?
2.What's the relative difficulty of the moments musicaux, from hardest to easiest?
3.What's the relative difficulty of the impromptus, from hardest to easiest?
4. Are any of the moments musicaux as a rule more difficult than any of the impromptus?
Cheers,

can we ask why you need such comprehensive research? in case maybe we can help you without the TREMENDOUS amount of work it would take to essentialy conduct an exhaustive review of both bodies of work? i mean there are DMA thesis argued on less and unless someone is intimately and keenly aware of all the differences in each work to make such a judgement call, i believe it will be quite difficult to get you the answers you are looking for.
if you're simply trying to narrow the field to find your next piece, perhaps try find a method book or compliation aimed at your current level and see which if any of the pieces mentioned are found in the that collection?
sorry just trying to help but i didn't even know where to begin on analyzing the huge amount of information needed to answer those 'few questions'
let us know if we can help you
