Canto Ostinato

on: January 02, 2022, 01:45:12 AM

Is Canto Ostinato by Simeon Ten Holt difficult to play? I love listening to it. So far I’ve only taken on beginner-intermediate pieces, which include some minimalist works. I’m guessing the solo version is harder than either a two or four-hand part for this, but haven’t seen the music. Does anyone have experience playing it?

I have not played it, only listened to parts of it. Yes, I would find it far too difficult for a beginner.
