Chopin 2nd Concerto or Saint Saens Piano Concerto no.5?
on: March 31, 2013, 09:49:54 PM
Hi there, I'm having trouble picking which one to play next year, I'm planning to play either one for a couple of competitions, exams, and possibly a masterclass.
Which, IN YOUR OPINION, is more difficult (musically, technically), and why? I'm probably gonna play the easier one (I don't have a lot of time because of school exams). Please put some emphasis on the first movement, though I might be playing the whole thing.
