<p>^ times six</p>

<p>Rach! (it’d awesome to collaborate with an orchestra rather than practicing by myself!) I guess the rankings for hardest pieces vary, but from the top 5ish,
I’d prefer Gaspard du Nuit by Ravel. It’s so intricate! Reminds me of dew drops on spider web and fairies<3</p>

<p>^ times five
FAERIE’S AIRE and DEATH WALTZ
take a look at the scores and you’ll just find yourself passed out on the floor.
I’m not sure if anyone could play it.</p>

<p>What mortals could play that are considered VERY hard:
Prokopiev concerto no.3
Flight of the Bublebees
Gaspard du Nuit
Festin d’Esope
Charmin de Fer
Frederic Rzewski’s “Variation on the theme of People united never will be defeated”
Opus Clavicembalisticum</p>

<p>and maybe some more.</p>

<p>It’s really hard to rank them because it depends on strengths of the players and the way you define ‘hard.’</p>

<p>EDIT: Gahh… F5</p>

3462

<p>Apart for Gaspard du Nuit and Prokofiev 3 all of those pieces aren’t that good but are only known for being impossible.</p>

3463

<p>Flight of the Bumblebee is the most boring piece on earth. Especially when you can’t play it.</p>

<p>By the way, what grades/levels are we talking about here? Monochrome’s description of grade 8ers being able to choose whatever they want doesn’t correspond to my ABRSM experience…</p>

3464

<p>^ I thought we were talking about ABRSM.</p>

3465

<p>^ I was idk about you guys.</p>

3466

<p>Yeah ABRSM. Well maybe they have different methods. Like I can carry my Liszt books and ask my teacher to teach a particular piece. And if she doesn’t, I’ll switch to ‘indifferent’ mode until the lesson ends. Works like charm everytime. :D</p>

<p>My uncle wants to pay for my college education. </p>

<p>I would rather rot in hell than ever take money from him.</p>

3468

<p>Are you referring to the same uncle that is currently staying with you?</p>

3469

<p>^^^ Hahaha, nice. My last teacher was awesome- pretty strict, but she was still nice. The one before her was a complete nutjob who cried when I couldn’t play stuff right though. You can see why I changed teachers…</p>

3470

<p>^she cried? Wth. She’d cry her eyes out if she taught my sis.
Any, Fur Elise is 3rd grade, I mastered it when I was 7, so it must be. :D</p>

3472

<p>^ Hahahaha, yeah. Like I said, she was a nutter.</p>

<p>I never learned to play Für Elise properly because my mom thought it was too much of a cliché. Most of my friends learned it when they were 8 or 9 though.</p>

3473

<p>^ ahh okay. I heard my brother playing it when I was super little, so I was like “that’s so cool!” and played it.</p>

<p>that’s crazy that she’d cry. maybe she though she failed if you messed up o.O</p>

3474

<p>I taught myself how to play a large portion of Fur Elise. This was before I worked my way through a level 1 piano book. It’s not a hard song.</p>

3475

<p>I can play part of Fur Elise (only the higher melody, or whatchamacallit) on the piano, just by listening. I’m partially tone deaf. :S</p>

3476

<p>Back then it was hard :P</p>

<p>Did you all learn the long version?
Because the one I learned was like 5 pages.</p>

<p>Not that long anymore… back then that was eternity xD</p>

3477

<p>I can’t seem to distinguish between any notes lower than the C below middle C. Nor do I understand the point of chords…</p>

<p>I should go into the flute.</p>

3478

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, the same one.</p>

3479

<p>TCBH made his 2500th post with rainbow. I am appeased</p>

3480

<p>^^ The one staying with you is offering money for college? o.O</p>

<p>My only question: Why?</p>
