Most Difficult Nocturne (Chopin)

on: June 01, 2005, 10:25:42 PM

Is Op 48-1 the hardest or do you think is only a matter of perception?

Believe or not for me the most difficult one is Op 9-1. I dont know why but I cant play it correctly yet.

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

The Op. 48 No. 1, in my view, has the largest virtuosistic "showcase", and it can be a challenge. It reminds me of the Ballades.

You've got to be kidding me.
I have no problem getting through this Nocturne- took me no more than a month to learn it.
For me, the 9/3 is tough. It's dang long, and confusing, and I have quite a rough time learning the Agitato part. Darn that syncopation!

Nocturne op.27 n1 is the most beautiful, so most difficult, too.
