Sonata 448 Mozart, piano 1 or piano 2, which one is more difficult?

on: January 03, 2022, 05:17:08 PM

I like this sonata, and I hope one day play it with someone, it is just that I haven't found yet with whom I can play it with.

However, I am just too curious to know if there is a difference of level between the two pianos, is the piano 1 more difficult or is piano 2?, I am curious because when I have played once the Berceuse of Faure's Dolly Suite, the second piano is more difficult, as well as other piano pieces with four hands.

I would like to play piano 2 for personal reasons like not always singing the main character like it happens usually with sopranos in the choir. On the other hand, piano 1 sounds as beautiful as well.

So what do you think?

I've played Piano 2 but have tried Piano 1 as well. I think they are about the same.
