  • wait so is this piece hard? i don't know because i never even tried it before

  • It's not so much "technically challenging" but since it's a 4 hand interpretation of a whole orchestra, the difficulty comes in imitating the specific instruments

  • Congratulations guys! Anyone who even tries this piece deserves praise. You're both far better players than I'll ever be.

  • Tempo and rhythm are a bit off, but for two people playing STRAVINSKY in HIGH SCHOOL, it can't be helped, now can it. I get a bit carried away myself.

    GREAT JOB!

  • Generally this was a mess!

  • For my taste,too fast! Overpedalling caused a bit of mushy sound.But it had a certain excitement,but it needs more clarity and i hated the cuts and the rubato.It sounds much better played strictly,like the orchestra and not with pianist's freedom and rubato which makes it a bit silly really. Sorry!

  • This just does not work at all. You cant condense such a supremely complex orchestral arrangement in to what is basically a piano duet. A piano and oboe or clarinet might 'possibly work' but dont hold your breath..

  • Mistake too much

  • Wow the most impressive thing is that it doesn't fall apart completely what with all the rhythms being totally made-up. It's weird - you've put all that effort into learning the notes but you haven't learnt how the piece goes. It's much better with everything in the right place, believe me.

  • Well, this arrangement is terrible. The cuts are awkward and the rhythm is incorrect in many many sections, the most obvious being the Young Girl's Dance, in which the accents are COMPLETELY misplaced. An abomination if I ever saw one.

  • Hi, great playing! Do you know where to get this sheet music?

  • Great job! In fact I loved it! What sheet music did you use? I'm in high school in Florida and would like to play this piece of music with my friend. -Thanks :)

  • @Azz9999 Especially the sounds of brass, which is so key in this piece. I think the mellow, warm brass feel was conveyed well enough. The infamous "chord blasts" could be a tad more elegant, I believe. But still, an amazing job. :)
