Chopin fantasy op 49

on: December 07, 2022, 09:16:16 AM

How hard is this piece technically compared to other chopin major works, like ballade 1, heroic polonaise etc?

Difficult to quantify. It depends on your strengths and weaknesses as a player. I'd consider it technically more challenging than the Ballade and Heroic polonaise due to some of the passages in it. But I'm sure you could find someone who disagres.
