Both of them are extremely beautiful pieces, very intense and the audiences love them for sure.

Rachmaninov is definitely harder and even more wild, for sure a bigger WOW factor on a concert.
In progress: <br />Scriabin: Preludes op 11 nr 6, 10, 17, 1<br />Rachmaninov: Prelude C# minor<br />Fibich: Poeme<br />Mussorgsky: Pictures at Exhibition Promenade, gnome
