      This comment gave me flashbacks to when I, the only bassist in my orchestra, read and performed as much of both bass parts for Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite as I could. I at one point figured out how to hammer double stops so I could play a pizz and arco part at the same time. My maestro didn’t ask me to do this. No one asked me to do this. I don’t know why I did it but damn if I couldn’t play two parts at once on the bass for a solid 60-70% of the split parts in that piece.

      I think that only playing the melody would be considered "easy", especially if one disregards the dynamics and emotions when sight-reading (which is honestly what I do lol), plus it is meant to be played slowly. The hard thing about this piece (personally) would be the balancing the three different voices with utmost control over the dynamics and the phrasing, which is quite difficult as the piece is meant to be played softly.

      Agreed, but some of his pieces you can change the fingerings to suit your hand size so it's easier to play. All in all Liszt and Chopin is really hard to play cause of technical difficulties.

    Maybe this is why you give an accompanist their score ahead of time, so they don't have to do this. No, seriously, please do this.

      rasm0225 No, just thought it was funny because key signatures are nothing to pianists (or at least to me when I'm playing piano). #Relatable as a violinist though because we are in a sharp world, not a flat one. The band lives in a flat one. No pun intended but lol, just realized what I did.
