I’ve been waiting for this! Love Schubert but the textures can be so hard. My old teacher back at the con, and his wife, are prob the foremost piano duo in Australia. He told me they just don’t bother playing Fantasy in Fmin anymore cause it’s just too hard to pull off

I would personally put D. 959 over Erlkonig. Erlkonig is physically taxing but otherwise not that difficult. It doesn't demand much accuracy or finger dexterity and is musically much easier than D. 958-960. I really don't agree that it's harder than or even as difficult as any of those sonatas.

@4mon622 2 күн бұрын

How much more difficult is Liszt's transcription of Erlkönig compared to the original?

@chwu04-ne2df Күн бұрын

It's quite a bit more difficult, although I don't think the original deserves to be on this list at all. The original is physically taxing due to the repeated chords throughout but otherwise not very difficult. It doesn’t really demand any serious amount of accuracy or finger dexterity and is musically much easier than D. 958-960.

@paulfievet9301 2 күн бұрын

Better in what way? Piano evolution in the 19th and 20th centuries was mainly driven by a need for louder instruments for performance reasons. You cannot say that the sound quality has improved at all. In fact, many (as myself) would argue that in the search for a louder and clearer sound in the 20th century, pianos have lost a lot of richness and depth in the sound which characterised 19th century pianos, which can be heard comparing modern and period performances.

@calebhu6383 Күн бұрын

@@paulfievet9301 If you think they sound better, that's great for you. I tend to think modern pianos sound better, and I also prefer the touch, sensitivity, and sustain of modern pianos. It's all subjective.

In the Trout Quintet, I agree with the first extract (1. movement), but even harder than the second extract (last movement) is the 3rd variation of the 4th movement (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH7VZaN6fNRjgacsi=DmmgXMIFCKhfubzG&t=1656), which is really really tricky!

I'm pleased you put the trio at the top of the list. The vast majority of it is totally fine and normally I don't care about length, and can play anything up to 3 hours-ish, but chamber music hits different. Playing a physically and musically demanding chamber piece for that long really takes it out of you and Schubert scatters so much difficult shit throughout so you never get a proper break. The last movement is particularly horrific. I recently played the Messiaen quartet and it's nothing compared to Schubert Eb Trio (still hard tho lol). On another note, I'm going to be sightreading the Violin Fantasie in C with someone soon and I can barely manage the other 9 pieces on this list (I've learnt about half of them) 😭 Wish me luck

@jaypeej7830 3 күн бұрын

You're ranking is a bit way off. The D.934 fantasy is the most difficult, it's one of the hardest duo in the entire repertoire.. "The difficult work was "calculated to display Slavík's virtuoso [violin] technique" and is demanding for both instruments. According to pianist Nikolai Lugansky, the Fantasy "is the most difficult music ever written for the piano", and "more difficult than all of Rachmaninov’s [piano] concertos put together"

@calebhu6383 2 күн бұрын

I disagree. I've played it and I don't think it's as hard as the trio. I mentioned Lugansky's opinion already in the subtitles but I think it's quite the exaggeration.

YAY! I love the recordings you picked, I wasn't aware of a lot of them and they're really stunning (especially Pires' impromptus...). Also happy to see the D929 trio getting its due; the number of performances I've heard where the pianist butchers even the supposedly simple second movement is crazy. And of course that fourth movement is a monster, especially on modern concert grands. (It's also just my favorite piece of music, maybe ever, so...)

@@gnome8979 fr, 959 with the arpeggios, close attention to crescendos and accents and emotionally complex contrasts were my issues. D. 960 is a more easier to understand and an incredibly beautiful piece that is a little easier to memorize and interpret than 959. Mr. Caleb isn't too biased because 960 is a hard to pull off, Homer epic-like piece, but in my opinion not quite as much as D. 959.
