Wow, HR 2 Friska has more votes? I was on the fence but that's what I picked - guess I'm not the only one. I thought it would be a really unpopular opinion. Those jumps are just really awkward and crazy, what can I say?
Here's a question...What do we do if there's a tie?
- Check Henle and they get a vote based on their grading system (Which is a problem, because they don't have sheets for everything)- They both lose and the one they would've gone against gets a freebie to the next round- You remove your vote, since you organized it
Checked Henle. According to them, Wilde Jagd alone is harder than all of HR 2. I don't know if I agree with that...I feel like Mazeppa would beat them both anyways lol, and that vote is unanimous at the time of this writing.Alternatively, what if they both advance and we have Friska vs. Wilde Jagd vs. whichever piece advances from match 8?
Having played Wilde Jagd, I voted for Friska. Wilde Jagd sounds impressive but it is seriously not that hard, I'd say it's the easiest of the virtuosic sounding Transcendental Etudes. A lot of it lies comfortably under the hands, and the trickier parts with jumps you just need to practice slowly and carefully and you'll hit at least 90% of the notes when performing The flats in the key makes it way more forgiving.
