Difficulty of Danse Macabre
on: May 18, 2013, 05:55:57 PM
I really like Liszt's solo arrangament on Danse Macabre, and I would like to learn it for admission next year. The hardest I can play at the moment is Chopin Polonaise op#53 (Heroic) so the question is that I have "the minimal requirments" to learn Danse Macabre? Or forget about it for a while.

you should be fine. danse macabre will be a slight stretch but nothing you can't handle.

Liszt's is a bit long and repetitive.  Horowitz's transcription of it is more compact and less repetitive. It's worth a look.
