Difficulty Ranking : Emperor Concerto Piano Solo Excerpt
on: January 29, 2012, 04:54:38 AM
Hey Guys,
I have always enjoyed the Adagio from the Emperor Concerto. I found this little excerpt solo transcription on musicnotes.com. I think its a pretty nice sounding transcription... certainly something that would be fun to play for some friends.
I am unsure of its difficulty though. It is certainly easier than some of the other transcriptions I have seen but I am not sure how much easier. Obviously I am not asking anyone to grade the piece from the first page but just a general idea of the difficulty would be great.
Heres the link:
(If you choose to have the computer play the piece it will play all the notes twice the first time around and it sounds horrible. Then the second time (auto repeat) the piece is done properly.)

Thanks for all your help

This transcription looks pretty straight to me. If you have a copy of the two piano version, it is easy to do this yourself: play the orchestra part for the intro, then switch to the piano part when it enters.
If you are comfortable playing a standard 4 part hymn this should not be too difficult.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Thanks for the help. I've only started playing piano again for about 6 months so this looked a bit imposing to me (prob because of the larger chords). That being said, I am going to start the piece and see what happens. For being so straight forward it sounds better than most lower level piano tunes out there!!
Thanks Again
