![]() the moto perpetuo is down a few spots for the same reason as the paganini concerti, not much required musicality. i based the viotti off of my friend, who was told she shouldnt be playing them because they are too easy for her. the chaconne is difficult in is own right as it requires great bow control, technique, and tone quality. as to you concern with the mozart, i feel the same way, but did not want to add another level simply for them (im lazy). for example, i am playing havanaise, mozart 5, and bach a minor partita, but can not do fast arpeggios to save my life. Like you said this list is very subjective and technique does vary from person to person. Thanks for taking the trouble to do this, I think one measure of the dififculty contiane din the Mozart works is that virtually all orchetsras demand one of those works plus a romantic conerto for a job. (Times may have changed.)Its certainly much harder than the Novacek. Auer did describe it as the hardest finger and bow coordianation around. I also think the Moto Perpetuo is harder than you give it credit for. I console myself with the knowledge that Heifetz also ranked thos pieces extremely high in terms of technique, perhaps in the sense you are talking about. Likewise I play the Tchaikovsky Souveniers regularly without a qualm, but having to do the Mozart (4and5) in public is tough for me. I think the Viotti is a rather akward, hybrid work that is fairly essential for violnists, but does not compare with difficulty to the Mozart concertos. The next section is more problematic for me perosnally. Thus your list suggest the first two concertos and the Vitali Chaccone are more difficult than Mozart three which I would beg to differ slightly with. The problems you note lead, in my opinion, to the greatest amount of diiiculty in classifying the sort of middle area which may at leats superficially not be so demanding. ![]() I did the concerto very early on (after de beroiot 9) so that would be much lower down the list than some concertos that would have exposed my weaknesses more. For example, when I was a kid I played a lot of Wieniawski. It does, as you say depend on a slew of factors that are very subjective and after you have tried to factor those in you are still stuck with the problem of individual differences in players and there relative streengths. I agree with you about some of the lists currently available although the ASTA one is pretty good in my opinion. ![]() That`s a really interesting project and I think you have done alot of thoughtful work. O Saint-Saëns: Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A minor O Rimsky-Korsakov: Flight of the Bumblebee O Mozart: Rondo in G major from “Haffner” Serenade O Kreisler: Concerto in the style of Vivaldi O Vivaldi: Concerto in G minor, from Suzuki Book 5 or another source Please keep in mind, these are pieces for solo violin and orchestra. I am not perfect, so if I have missed something important, misspelled something, or misjudged a piece, please let me know. Please feel free to comment, inquire, reject, or add (or some other verb) to this list. The levels range from 1-13+, 1 being the easiest and + being disgusting. ![]() For this reason, the Paganini concertos are not higher in level than other, technically easier pieces (such as Barber and Beethoven) for the reason that Barber and Beethoven require more insight and knowledge to play. However, I have taken into consideration the technique and musicality required to play the pieces (bow control, dexerity, vibrato, flexibility, tone quality, and tempo among other things). The criteria for each level is not specific, as that would mean 110 different analyses of each work. ![]() But after being frustrated with the amount of ambiguity in many graded repertoire lists and hearing so many music teachers, professors, and students complain, I have taken it upon myself to create my own graded repertoire (with help from many sources). Ok, so maybe I am a little hard on myself.Jubin Matloubieh Jubin's Graded Repertoire ![]()
