Rachmaninoff - Op. 16 Moment Musicaux: Favorite and hardest
on: June 29, 2024, 07:57:12 PM
IMO, the best is no. 4, and the hardest is 2, 4 or 6.

I haven't listened to them much, so I'm not too sure for either category.

Honestly, I don't think they're his most interesting works. But no 4 is fun to play albeit challenging.

Alright, I finally decided to listen to them in full.
Hardest: No. 6, No. 4, No. 2 (in that order)
Best: No. 4, No. 1, no. 6 (in that order)
