15:15 Hammerklaivier is definitely Ling Ling level. It was for a long time a piece seen as the bashings on a keyboard by a composer going mad and deaf until Liszt some many many years later played it at a solo recital and suddenly for the first time many could see the genius of the piece. If you need the worlds greatest ever pianist to show the value of a piece, I think it safe to say its Ling Ling level.

Absolutely not. Valuing musicality this highly and establishing it as fact and educated is absolutely bullshit. Ranking Mozart Sonata in C two places above Chopin's Ballade? Then it can be argued that Fur Elise and Prelude in C Major should be placed at the highest tier. In terms of conveying the feelings of the composer, Mozart Sonata is a casual piece arranged for beginners, like the title states, and Fur Elise is about a heartbreak. Excuse me? I don't personally believe in 'sound production' or 'feel the music'. Rather, I believe in a good piano and dynamics. Piano is merely pressing keys with a certain force, and moving the pedals the right amount and time. A world-class pianist on a bad piano sounds a lot worse than a music student on a grand piano. It's all up to 'interpretation'. The most objective way of rating pieces is through technicality (which includes fingerings, staccatos, and dynamics). If it can be written on a piece of paper, an AI can execute it. The only thing holding it back is technology.

I think it has more to do with your technicality level if you play the instrument (perceived technicality, if one does not play the instrument). When you have the technical aspect mostly under control, they kinda fell into a roughly same baseline and started judging by the musicality aspect. This doesn't mean the all who are judging with more technicality aspect considered are uneducated. It just mean they're technically not there yet. For instance I can play Moonlight Sonata to a decent level because I grind those appreggios for years, yet La Campanella would be harder for me with all those precision jumps.

It seems there are three stages of musicianship. The bottom one one is where it is a technical challenge. The middle one is where technically easier pieces become proportionately harder musically, because you've realized you can't just "hide" behind technical execution. And the top one is where perfect execution is taken for granted, it's all about the emotional message, and the goal is not just to get to that stage but to _know_ you're there while you're there so that you can enjoy it. Personally, I would just like to be able to play an entire piece without once thinking, "don't screw this up."

That's fascinating because it kind of parallels what happens in my choir. We're expected to know all the pieces by heart so as to concentrate on the choirmistress (if that's the word) - corresponding to "technical excellence" in an instrument player. On the other hand, the "musical feeling" isn't directly up to us - all we need to do is understand her intentions and carry them out. Anyway the result is that I get to participate in music of a much higher standard than I'm capable of producing on my own.

You actually don't have to be a professional to experience this, I did my grade 8 and practiced a piece so much in a year that by the end none of my concentration in performance was on which notes to play - just how.

While that is true, many of the other pieces in "Hard" are a decent amount above Clair de Lune in terms of difficulty; not only regarding physicality, but also in terms of musicality too. Perhaps it is comparable to Traumerei, but Traumerei would absolutely win out in terms of the musicality required. And any Chopin etude is a hell of a lot harder than Clair de Lune, so neither really should be in that category anyway.

This list is only for really good pianists. If you're beginner or intermediate then technicality is going to be the biggest obstacle so playing something like moonlight sonata will be easier then la campanella. However once you get to the level where you can play almost anything, technicality becomes less important compared to musicality. For example La Campanella is very easy once you know it but something like Un Sospiro will never become "easy" no matter how confident you are in the piece. You can have unconscious competence in a technically difficult piece however when you play a piece where the melody is exposed and it is very well known then you have to be very intentional in your voicing and phrasing to ensure that it's not a snore fest. This is why Mozart is so difficult. Another factor is stuff like hand size and flexibility. Sophie has smaller hands so she has an easy time playing Chopin Op 10 no 5 and probably has an easy time playing Op 10 no 4 as well because these pieces have extremely tight intervals where your fingers are on top of one another. Someone with large hands would struggle with these pieces but have an relatively easy time with Op 25 no 10 and Op 10 no 1. The Ocean and Waterfall etudes respectfully are extremely difficult if you have smaller hands to a level where you have to play in a completely different way. Chopin had small hands himself so these pieces were designed as exercises to train wrist flexibility however if you have large hands you don't need as much wrist flexibility. Chopin actually showed the waterfall etude to Liszt when they were both 19 and Liszt was able to sight read it immediately. My point is that there are too many factors in piano so this list only really applies to Sophie Oui Oui. Even if you got to her level of piano your list would look completely different.

@@Algorox The hardest part about Chopin Ballade No. 1 is the coda. Once you can play the coda you can pretty much play the ballade. Moonlight Sonata's third movement is very difficult technically but the sonata is considered more difficult because of the first and second movements. The first movement is very simple both technically and melodically. Everyone knows it. As a concert pianist this puts a lot of pressure on you. If you just play it by the books you will put the audience to sleep however if you insert your own musicality into it you can potentially bring the audience to tears. Chopin ballades are far more difficult from a beginners perspective but as a concert pianist you can just play the ballade as it is written and people will be impressed no matter what. You don't need to insert your own musicality because most people won't even notice. Compare that to moonlight sonata and people will notice every slight change in phrasing and tempo. You're put into an uncomfortable position where the sonata is so well known that if you change nothing you will be indistinguishable from an amateur player but if you change too much people will call you sacrilegious.

@@ummmmmmmmmmmnmmmm That's a very thoughtful reply. I am a concert pianist and I still disagree, but thanks for your perspective. The rest of Chopin Ballade No. 1, not just the coda, is still musically challenging, much more so than either of the first two movements of the Moonlight Sonata. I think your argument about the popularity and familiarity of the Moonlight Sonata over the Chopin Ballade to the general audience is the most valid, and I'm convinced that's why Sophie placed it so high. It's not really because of the musicality or technicality, because any Chopin Ballade is superior to the Moonlight Sonata in both. I fully agree with the last thing you said in your original comment. The list is highly subjective like you said. Cheers!

I'd like to add to the Rach 2nd Concerto as I read Bertenson/Leyda biography of Rachmaninov - the therapist was called Nikolai Dahl and he was also an amateur violist. Once in his lifetime, sometimes in 1920's he actually played viola in an orchestra that played this concerto one evening. Someone noticed his presence in the orchestra and after the performance he was persuaded to take a bow together with the conductor and the pianist and received huge ovations.

I think Sophie's point on bringing out the musicality despite the simple notes is well taken. To make a music sings is not as easy as it seems even when it doesn't involve technical difficulties. That said, I would say that technicality is also not to be slighted, as indicated by some comments. Technicality is the basis upon musicality flourishes. Only when technicality is sufficiently achieved can musicality be meaningfully expressed. Both are essential to a great performance. Also I would argue that technicality can stand on itself on many occasions when audience is mesmerized by the sheer technical brilliance of a performance. But all in all regardless of the technical difficulties of a piece the musicality is written into the technicality as a score so in essence they are not separate entities but individual constructs for teaching/discussion purposes. Hard for me to imagine a fully mature technical excellence that does not reflect some musical beauty of a piece. I haven't seen/heard any first tier concertizing musicians lack either, whether or not I appreciate their interpretations.

Likewise, more complex pieces sometimes expose flaws much more easily. So while this list obviously isn't accurate for someone just starting to learn the piano, it makes full sense to me for someone who is already at a highly advanced level.

I’m learning the first movement of Gaspard de la Nuit, “Ondine”. It’s already very difficult to handle, it’s similar to learning Un Sospiro just because of the flowy watery style, but it’s much more challenging imo. I looked at Scarbo as well. My hands cramped at the sight of the 24 pages 600+ measure movement.

I like what Sophie said about some of the so-called "easy" pieces, such as Fur Elise. How many people can make it sound like a love letter, which is basically what it was? Simple melodies expressing sophisticated emotions and back story. I have hands the size of baseball gloves, so the pieces from Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky are some of my favorite to play, especially when I can (somewhat) capture the sound of the orchestra with just the piano.

The point is though, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky are also prone to pianists being overly emotional and bangy, so I don't see how those pieces don't require sophisticated emotions too. Any list that ranks fantaisie impromptu over Chopin's Ballade and equal to the Sonata op. 35 is dubious at best

For example, you might have naturally flexible fingers, or your 4 and 5 fingers could be more independent than the average, etc.

Mozart is immensely difficult because of the delicacy you have to create through phrasing but on top of that Mozart is the most “exposing” composer - what I mean by that is every technical inadequacy (if you have any) is completely exposed, because of the transparency of the writing. Uneven melody lines? Exposed. Weaker left hand? Exposed. Unclean trills? Very noticeable. There’s a reason why some famous professional pianists just don’t play Mozart in public, and why they say it’s hard for a beginner but impossible for a master to play.

I'm sorry, I just can't agree with this list. Yes she's right, there is a difference between interpreting difficulty and technical difficulty, but there's a certain threshold where no matter how difficult something is to interpret, the technical aspects of another piece will outweigh the interpretation difficulty. Mozart Sonata in C and Chopin Prelude in e minor should not be ranked the same/higher difficulty as the Chopin Ballade No. 1. I've played all 3 pieces and I can say for a fact that Mozart's sonata and the prelude are much easier than the ballade. Even in terms of interpretation, I'd say that ballade 1 is more complex than the sonata and the prelude.

If you’re really really good. Technique is not the question. In some ways, the ballade is so incredibly written, that it just sort of phrases itself. The Mozart sonata certainly doesn’t. Every choice made in the Mozart sonata needs to be extremely intentional. Plus! Making a mistake in a Mozart sonata just can’t be played off, contrary to the case of most romantic pieces. I must agree that it would be really cool, if there would a separate tier list almost solely about technique, basically like you’re requesting. I hope that makes sense

I would always start and finish my piano practise with this piece now, because it helps as a warm up and when your fingers are warm and all ready, it's the moment when you can really play and have fun with it. It is challenging on rhythm, speed, musicality, weight... This piece is SO useful to get better if you learn it well

However I think it has the same dificulty of musicality as Fantasise impromptu, but being much more technically difficult and requiring character in those technical parts as well (where as impromptus technical and musical difficulties are rather separate... Im learning fantasie impromptu myself right now tho and it's alot more approachable then la Campanella... granted I've played piano with guidance/practise only 8 years and my goal is to play it in half speed so that may be a huge simplification, but still....

I definitely agree with Sophie on some of these rankings! Moonlight sonata movt 3 requires a lot of stamina and accuracy and I would put it over pathetique too tho I haven't finished pathetique yet. The Rach prelude in g also requires a lot of stamina but I think personally the wrist technique makes it a little bit easier than the moonlight movt 3 and you get a break with that beautiful middle section too which helps with the stamina. The black keys etude is not so bad once you figure out the rotating movement of the keys, so I think it is easier than some of the other Chopin etudes. Liebestraum has some hard passages but for me the hardest part is the musicality and I'm still trying to figure out the musicianship of it all. I've always been decent at Mozart tho, I probably would've put the K545 lower tbh.

Not saying Sophie is wrong, but just shows exactly what she was talking about, different people struggle with different things. Moonlight sonata's 3rd movement was not too hard to learn and I had a good grasp at what to do (musically) for the first movement pretty fast, but La Campanella was insanely hard in some sections since my hands are on the smaller side, and how much I need to focus to play it technically well makes it hard to focus on musicality, personally

I agree with Sophie’s assessment on Mozart’s Sonata in C, Liebestraum, and Für Elise, but I would put Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata higher because I had trouble just learning (more specifically REACHING) the notes. On top of that technique, all three of these are quite popular pieces, so they all require A LOT of musicality to be played well and uniquely! It can be extremely difficult to create your own interpretation when a piece (like these) has been played by so many people already, so that definitely makes them challenging.

As a Lingling who can play both Piano and Violin, Sophie's piano pieces ranking seems to be influenced by some violin technique or performance, like she emphasis the difficulties of ‘keeping the long line going’, which might be a challenge for piano playing.

I love the way she talks about music, Such a mature musician, if this makes some sense.
