xvimbi is being stupid. his stupidity is turning me on. *** you and your hot and sexy childlike innocence!anyways.... it's hard. it is just hard. I guess? It's not as hard as say a prokofiev concerto, but you should probably have more than 2 years experience before attempting it. maybe 2 and a half. the difficulty is seriously overrated but it isnt easy.
I think that's hilarious that some pianists claim the Prokofiev to be harder than the Rachmaninoff.It is all a matter of your strengths and weaknesses. For me, the Rach 3 is much more difficult, because the notes are everywhere, your hands need to be quite flexible, the memorization is intense, and it has pretty much every technique I can think of, from octaves to repeated notes.The Prokofiev YES, is quite difficult, but I don't think that it is nearly as dense as the Rach 3.I guess it all depends on the pianist though.
Supposedly, Rach3 has more notes per measure than any other concerto --- so yes, it's very "dense."Prokofiev 2 and 3 are just a smidgen less challenging than Rach3.The only concerti that are equally difficult as Rach3 are:Brahms #2Bartok #2Busoni C Major(please correct me if I'm wrong).
I totally agree, except IMO the Brahms 2 is a bit less challenging (still a beat though)Bartok and Busoni are insane. Period. Which is why I like them.
i'm studying the piano for almost 2 weeks and i would like to start rach3
funniest post ever! ....You can start it, alright....
may i? thank you.concertos that are harder than the Rach 3? Now let me think for JUST a moment....BarberCorigliano 1968Rautavaara (all of them)ligetiBusoniNOT bartok or brahms thoprokofiev 2 and possibly 5most non-minimalist concertos composed after 1950 probablyginastera MAYBEanything by the neoromantics IE Danielpour, Finnissey, Ferneyhough, Bowen (can we count bowen as neoromantic?) etc...just about anything by any experimental composers IE penderecki, Xenakis, Ligeti, Boulez etc...most any 12tone concertosrach 3 is like nothing compared to modern stuff.
