Scherzi Difficulty

on: July 10, 2015, 06:34:00 PM

How much more technically difficult is Scherzo 4 over Scherzo 2? I've finished working on the 2nd scherzo and it was the hardest piece I've learned so far. Looking at the sheet music, it appears to me that the fourth is about the same level.

Imo, mechanically, the second scherzo takes the cake but #4 seems to be a lot more challenging musically. I haven't worked on neither of these works so take my opinion with a grain of salt
