These are the definitively the hardest pieces of music to play

We’ve asked musicians, we’ve scoured the internet and our music library - these are the hardest pieces of classical music out there.

Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji - Opus clavicembalisticum

Why not kick off with an impossible-to-pronounce piece? Here’s a blistering performance of this utterly bonkers piano piece - not for the faint-hearted:

Alexander Scriabin - Mysterium

So yeah, it’s an orchestral evocation of the end of the world that could potentially last for up to a week, and was intended to be performed in the foothills of the Himalayas. Here’s what Scriabin himself said about it: “There will not be a single spectator. All will be participants. The work requires special people, special artists and a completely new culture. The cast of performers includes an orchestra, a large mixed choir, an instrument with visual effects, dancers, a procession, incense, and rhythmic textural articulation. The cathedral in which it will take place will not be of one single type of stone but will continually change with the atmosphere and motion of the Mysterium. This will be done with the aid of mists and lights, which will modify the architectural contours.”

Sure.

Franz Liszt - La Campanella

It sounds innocent enough at the beginning, but give it a minute… This piece has been haunting encores for centuries.

Giovanni Bottesini - Double Bass Concerto No. 2

There was a reason Bottesini was known as the Paganini of the double bass. For extra difficulty points, be true to the period and play it on three strings.

J.S. Bach - Chaconne in D

The absolute daddy of violin showpieces. SO exposed.

Luciano Berio - Sequenzas

OK, it’s hard to narrow these down to just one - but Berio’s experimental Sequenzas were actually designed to push the boundaries of what might be possible with any given instrument. Try the soprano one for size:

Conlon Nancarrow - Studies for Player Piano

Imagine writing a piano piece so insanely tricky that you know a human wouldn’t be able to handle it. That’s what Conlon Nancarrow did, much to everyone’s consternation, and enlisted the help of a trusty player piano to make sure it was finally heard:

Heinrich Ernst - Variations on The Last Rose of Summer

This transcription of Thomas Moore’s poem is utterly bewildering - the techniques required are not only at the very extremes of the violinist’s capabilities, but also required at the same time as one another. See Hilary Hahn nail it:

Is Rush E possible?

This has enabled the piano to play the notoriously difficult Rush E, sheet music that is so composed so fast it is impossible for a human to play solo.

edelweisspianos.com - Meet 'Chopstix', the talking piano by Mark Rober - Edelweiss Pianos

The EDELWEISS Transparent Klavier has taken the internet by storm this spring with the alter ego CHOPSTIX! American YouTuber, engineer, and inventor Mark Rober modified our upright and its integrated self-play system to become a talking piano! In addition, Chopstix can play at ultra-high speed, performing Rush E, the sheet music considered impossible to play by hand. Back in 2021, the acclaimed scientist Mark Rober known for modifying and building extreme gadgets and teaching engineering online contacted Edelweiss about our Transparent Klavier. Mark and his team were looking for a player piano, also known as a self-play piano system, that they could modify and our upright caught their attention. Along with the assistance of a host of player piano technicians Mark and his team have transformed the Transparent Upright from a 30 key a minute to a 60 key a minute piano player. This has enabled the piano to play the notoriously difficult Rush E, sheet music that is so composed so fast it is impossible for a human to play solo. Chopstix has to date gained over 13 million views and rising! It has also been featured in numerous media outlets including Classic FM. The Transparent Klavier is a popular piano in our collections range and comes with integrated LED lights that play to the music. While our standard model comes with self-play this can be modified to include the additional technology shown on Chopstix. Sales Director, Ross Norman talks through the Klavier and the optional additional features in the short video below. If you would like to view, play, listen or experience our pianos we currently have a showroom in Harrods, London. We also allow in person and online workshop tours. Please enquire for further information.
