Difficult!

After doing all those programme notes for my FT programme, i realised a few things.

The Bach Toccata has the longest fugue Bach ever wrote.

The Waldstein sonata is considered one of the hardest, if not THE hardest, piano sonata by Beethoven.

The Chopin Scherzo is the most compelling scherzo by Chopin.

See a trend? longEST, hardEST, MOST...bleahx. why am i doing so insane pieces? luckily never play Gaspard: the hardest piece ever written. haha.

and. how hard is it to memorise a fugue? no no no it is not hard at all. (im being sarcastic, in case u didnt know.) this is for the people who told me 'so what'.

this toccata. has two fugues on the same subject. IE different counter subject. they all start the same way. if im not wrong, the sequence of the entries of all the subjects are the same. ie which voice, which key. and all the subjects are the same, obviously. the end of this subject leads to this episode, but the end of that, which sounds the same, leads to another episode. the episodes are highly similar. try memorising a whole string of, say, 60 digits. there's bound to be a pattern, but its hard to remember.

so. no its not hard at all. bleahx.

went running just now, feeling super dead now.

ergh.
