Piano Street Magazine:
The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music

A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

OK, for a clarification, I BY NO MEANS CAN PLAY THESE PIECES. SO THIS IS NOT FOR MY OWN PURPOSES. IT IS JUST A CURIOUS POLL INTENDED NOT TO SPAM. ;D The only reason I'm asking this question is because I honestly wanted to know which you like better. To me, the Paganini Variations have a better theme, but the Chaccone is better variations. What's your opinion?

What I mean is, which do you like best played live? I think most of the time, the Paganini (Brahms) is boring. I've never heard the CHaccone played live though, so I can't vote.

Perhaps because you've made at least four or five of these threads, and people are getting tired of it? :P

Actually, I've made like dozens. ;D But this is in the polls section, where people are asking "hardest piece" or "easiest piece"? I'm sure there is an answer for both questions, but according to Mr. ahinton, he and Ms. thalbergmad  are getting a little sick ;D
