Which of these four pieces is the most difficult one?

[presto agitato]

Hello guys,

I want to learn one of those pieces, but I haven´t decided which piece to select.
I love them all, but I want to play the hardest one.
In your opinion, which is the hardest one?

Thanks.

I only said the Scriabin because that's the only one I played lol.  I thought the pedaling was the most difficult thing with that piece.  I didn't know and STILL don't know when to use the pedal.  I also thought the middle passage was pretty difficult because you can't look at both hands at the same time so accuracy was a problem for me.

But if you decide to learn it, don't drown yourself in it because you'll get bored like I did.  Sadly Scriabin disappointed me...

It entirely depends on your personal technical strengths, it's difficult to accurately rank such a group of pieces.

For me, having glanced over the scores, the Brahms op.116 is not in the same league as the other three.

I could personally probably manage the other Brahms in a shorter space of time than the Scriabin.

I don't have much experience with Spanish repertoire with the exception of the Granados Allegro de Concierto and Albeniz Triana. I think it's a different kettle of fish from Brahms and Scriabin- potentially easier yet at the same level yet more difficult all at the same time!

When I was entertaining the idea of learning Triana I searched this forum for a decent thread on Iberia and there's a good post on this one: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=27038.0 concerning the challenges of each piece.

Are you saying that Op 116-1 is the easiest of the set??

Thanks.

No wonder you have trouble sight-reading things (where you can't look at your hands at all).

Sadly Scriabin disappointed me...

 

To OP: I find Brahms easier than Scriabin or Albeniz, mostly because I'm more familiar with him.  As with all these things, the answer will be individual to you. Why not just read through them and see which is going to give you the most trouble?

hmm i would find the Brahms more difficult to pull off 'musically'/ interpreratively (mainly late Brahms). I find his final 'chunk' of works horrendously difficult.

The Op. 116-1 is definitely the most difficult, unless you have a very good LH.  Followed by the Scriabin.
