Hi all,

What is the real difficulty of this piece besides its length? Comparing for instance the second concerto that I am studying right now? Is a technical, the musical? Why is everyone seeming to exaggerate the difficulty of these type of works?

Thanks

I think there are many difficult passages in the 1st and 2nd movement. The bulk of the difficulty seems to be in the 3rd movement though, there are some crazy passages for the left hand especially. I never did learn the whole concerto and I've never attempt the 2nd concerto so I can't really compare them.
