I've always been fascinated with these pieces, but ever since getting Zimerman's recording with his Polish Festival Orchestra, I've fallen absolutely in love. I can't decide which one I love best!!!!

So, between the two, which one is better? More difficult? More rewarding to play?

Just have a look at both. You can buy the set on amazon.com for under 20 dollars. Both concertos sheet music.

None of them are good concerti to begin with. The e minor one is a little more dramatic, the f minor is more sensitive.
The e minor is a bit more difficult in therms of synergy with the orchestra. it also has some unpianistic passages which may not be very comfortable to play.
