    I think the choices are interesting. He plays all the Paganini and Ernst stuff since a young age, so the musicality is where he still can find challenge. I mean, try to add something special to pieces played so often... he can! To those critiquing him for his choices, I’d say try to play the Vocalise just as beautifully as he does 😉.

      Personally, as a cellist, I'd love to be able to play all of the Piatti caprices, but I simply don't have the superhuman motor skills required. Practice can't give you everything, even if you have the hundreds of hours necessary to practice. However, I love Vengerov's choices. He has successfully identified that the purpose of being a musician is to convey some unutterable truth, meaning conveyed deeper than language can express. His level of control, understanding and recognition of why notes are placed the way they are is stunning, as even notes on a page can't always completely convey a composers intent. It requires intuition and sensitivity that I know I'll never have, but I can at least try.

    I find it so interesting how Vengerov's maturity about this subject didn't have him automatically going for the same selection of Paganini, Ysaye and Kodaly pieces. It is evident, that Vengerov values control, musicality, phrasing and yearning beauty over strings of complicated double stops, harmonics and left-hand pizzicatos. When I was a teenage cellist that was the mark of difficulty (and for an amateur like myself still is), but as I've grown older I've learned to appreciate the depth and complexity of well woven legatos, bow control and tempered subtle vibrato. While I could play the Vocalise with nary an error when I was 15, it takes a lifetime to master all of the subtle nuances of such a piece and truly deliver on what the music is trying to invoke. Bravo Vengerov, I've truly learned something today.

    How come there is no Bach? The Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin are not only difficult on a technical level but even more so on a musical level. Especially the Chaconne. The Sonatas and Partitas are some of the greatest works ever composed for Violin and most definitely deserve a spot on this list.

    Hardest violin pieces if you consider pure technique:

    2. Ernst Erlkonig
    3. Sauret Cadenza for Paganini concerto no.1
    4. arguable
