Hardest piece of classical music ever written?
on: May 30, 2014, 05:33:25 PM
For this, I'm limiting it to music written in the baroque, classical, romantic, and 20th century era.
All composers are considered, and this is just for piano as always :D
Thanks everyone!

I think marble is probably the hardest I know of, but maybe there's another type of stone or stone tile that has been used

Franz liszt made a blog post the other day about how he wrote a new Hungarian rhapsody on diamond... His wins I believe
Just here to lurk and cringe at my old posts now.

Mozart Sonata in C major K545. The C major scales are absolutely dreadful, far worse than the tremolos in Vers La Flamme or the octave glissando in Waldstein.
Beethoven Op 15, 31/2, 31/3, 57
Mozart K 284, 310
Debussy Images II
Ravel Miroirs
Rachmaninov Op 23 No.5
