Schulz-Evler vs. Cziffra Blue Danube

[stravinskylover]

Please don't hate me for creating this kind of thread, I am just asking out of complete curiosity (of course I wouldn't attempt either of them). I understand difficulty is subjective, but I'm asking for your opinion, not which one is "the" hardest.

well if it's on standard office paper,both are probably 1.5 (between talc and gypsum) and about equal

I'd say they were approximately equal. The Schulz-Evler calls for a lot of chordal and octave stamina; the hardest thing in the Cziffra is imo the velocity of the myriad runs whilst keeping them quiet. The lh is harder in the Schulz-Evler whereas I think the rh is more tested in the Cziffra. What is hardest is having enough technique to play them with room left over for panache and style! As a footnote, this Cziffra is far more accessible some of his others, like the Bumblebee, Tristch-Tratsch, Fantasie Roumaine or William Tell.

Thank you so much for answering the question! I don't see why some people have to be mean to others because they ask questions like these. Even if they're being foolish, that doesn't mean that others can just insult them without even knowing who the person actually is. I would love to have a few more serious answers, but please everyone, if you're going to say something that is not answering the question at hand, please don't say it. Thank you!
