What is in your opinion the most difficult piece to play with the piano?
I'd suggest the "petrouschka" by Stravinsky. I never heard live execution of it without wrong notes.

[Ludwig Van Rachabji]

Oh no... another one of these.

Trust me, what you have just suggested is easy compared to Kaikhosru Sorabji's music. His Opus Clavicembalisticum is probably the most difficult thing that has ever been performed/recorded. First of all, he couldn't fit all the music on 2 staves, so he had to write on 3-7!



Here is a measure from his sonata. All of his music his like that..... (This is about the fifth time I've posted that measure....)

So... here we go with another one of these OC/Hardest piece threads..... *Sigh*

Quite impressive! I'd like to see the face of a pianist performing this monster piece.

Oh no!!!!  Here we go again.  We're going to be Clavicembalisticumed to death.

Oh no!!!!  Here we go again.  We're going to be Clavicembalisticumed to death.

Will there should be a sticky about the Opus Clav. That way, we would probably eliminate about 9/10 of these. Of course, there is still that 1/10 that....... well.......

Nothing against you, Flash, it's just that we are tired of these threads. It's not your fault though. You probably didn't know.

Or maybe we should limit it to the hardest piece any of us has actually ever tried to play.  To the best of my knowledge there is only one person on this forum (Jonathan Powell) who has ever played the Opus in question.  Maybe if we limit it this way we can have discussions about meaningful pieces that are pianistically difficult but are still works that people on this forum can aspire to, someday.

I don't know if you can really consider Jonathon Powell part of this forum. He has only posted twice. I have a feeling he was scared away.

lol, by luda?

i tells  ya - it must take alot to scare off someone who plays the OC - luda should star in his won horror movie! 

[flash]

Ok, my target now is ....the......opus 109 by Beethoven!!! Yes, I worked in a air company so I stopped studing piano for one year, now I stopped working in the air company and I restarting moving my fingers. The result It's like a horror thing, by the point of wiew of listeners, I need time to refresh all.
