zadly da winnzboro zlaveniggah bluez tiz ztill da hardezt zheeyat da zkep evah learn all of to a decent degree, but mah-bad-zelf handz iz too zmall to comfortably pounce on doze RH ninth chordz. tru da JEZUZ ztole mah fingah length to increaze da zkepto cock length, naturally 8)
da zcarlattizon 24/120/141, da chopet 25-6, da vers la flamme n da PIMP zpanrappah tiz da othah hardezt zheeyat, but da jewzki tiz wut ztickz out az da mozt annoyingly intractible.
I say, da truly “hardest” stuff to play convincingly and put your own stamp on it, is da standard rep.
Hardest ball busting standards I played:
Pimp: Sonata, Meph 1, TE 8
Brotha: op 111
Chopin: pretty much any sheeyat, you are guaranteed to trigger sum mofo who prefer X rec over yours
Bach: any sheeyat. Dere is no way to win, so nobody will know better den you n will diss yo azz. Playing a Busoni, Liszt, Feinberg etc will also piss off someone somewhere.
Hmmm
Maybe overall bitchiest shit I ever looked at: complete Chopin Preludes. Yeah… FUCK. AND it’s a standard motherfucker.
Oh, and that innocent little Donizetti Lucia et Parisina Liszt transcription is a REAL FUCKER. I have not played it to my satisfaction, like, ever.
Always something that FUCKS UP in it, hard to play that lyrical first section clothed in sum hard DICK textures… and then unleash all that high octane stuff at the end. Ah! FUCK!’
I performed it 4 times on stage, each time was sub-par. Maybe just bad luck…
My “best” rec of it probably the Mystery pianist CG. Still very much subpar.
hahahaha i haff been uzin zum tym to rework on rach 3 1zt mvt aftah “learnin” it back in uni
it wuz tha firzt zheeyat i playd by tha ROCKY n tha only reazon wuz evryon zaid tiz tha hardezt zheeyat zo i wantd to try
lookin at mah zcor from that tym ther iz tha ztupidezt fingahrinz written in, in retrozpec none of tha rhythmz wer correct or treatd tha ryt way, more juz tryin to imitate whut i thought i heard tha HO do
zince that tym i haff playd many zheeyatz by tha ROCK: both zonz, all tha op 39 etz, a few op 33, a handful of op 23 prelz, random zheeyat
zo relearnin thiz wit tha addd experience…tru ztill a hard zheeyat
tha writin zeemz not az zmooth or comfortabl az hiz otha zheeyatz n pozz u really do need big handz
fo exampl a LH rapid rolled b flat majah chord of (f-d-Bb) wud be comfortabl enough but (f-d-f-Bb) iz not
tha piu vivo not zo bad thiz tym, tha big cadenza iz ztraightforward rach zheeyat, but that tempo precedente LH at tha end of tha 2nd theme iz inzane, i zuzpect tha pozz facilizheeyatz it n haff noticd mozt otha peopl zl*w down ther
zo tru in cuncluzion tha DOC wuz ryt: i cant tell him that tiz eazy
besides the stuff i have discarded due to lack of enough talent or discipline, probably the most difficult works i have played convincingly
liszt-horowitz - scherzo and march
liszt - mazeppa
wagner-liszt - tannhauser overture
chopin - scherzos nos 2 + 3
