Toccatas -- Schumann, Ravel, Prokovief
on: January 22, 2005, 09:51:13 AM
Has anyone learned them all?  I had a friend in college who was obsessed with the Toccata form.  She played the Prokofiev first, the Ravel second, and then post graduate she was learning the Schumann -- which is I believe the most difficult of the three -- actually way harder than the Prokofiev or the Ravel.  I have only heard the Horowitz and Pogorelich recordings of the Schumann Toccata.  Comments?
