quaestion about Liszt Dante Sonata

[franz_]

I would like to tackle this piece now. But I ask some advice from people who played it.
What are the hard sections? I would like to start with those onces. Thanks!

Why do you never get an answer on this forum....



Can somebody suggest another pianoforum, with more alive people?

I would say the most difficult part is the presto at the second last page.

In all seriousness if you have the capability to play this work from Liszt you should easily have the facility to determine which parts are difficult for yourself. If you cannot this piece is too hard for you to even consider.

Agreed. At this level of performance you should be aware enough of your own technique to know what's going to be a nightmare. Someone could take it upon themselves to highlight bar by bar what difficulties they had with this piece, but it wouldn't really be of much use to you.

That said, the best way to determine whether or not you are ready to tackle a piece is to have a go at it. If you get a few pages in and find a part that's beyond you, then move onto something else and when you eventually come back to this piece at a higher level, you will already be familiar with some of it so the work you have done hasn't been wasted. If, alternatively, you are able to tackle it and make a good performance of it, then good luck with it!

the entire piece is very difficult, nothing else to say
