Which piano piece is harder to play? (your opinion)?

Maple Leaf Rag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B04--XmZ...
Way harder version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bFwDkh3s...

March of the Dwarfs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7o7FSfQ9... March of the Dwarfs

From experience i know that maple leaf rag is quite difficult unless you are in a high levels of music. Maple Leaf rag is suggested for people in grade 6 piano. It is quite difficult because of the syncopation and different movements of both hands. Each one would be challenging but the one you will you will find easiest is the one you are more enthusiastic about learning (if you are interested in learning it).

Hope that helped.

Loved the first video; hated the second: can't stand "show off" performances; only watched about 30 seconds of it.

The "Maple Leaf Rag" is a master-piece: one of the greatest ever written by an American composer, in my opinion.

If you're into rag-time, check out "Nighty Night" if you're not familiar with it(can't remember the composer's name - not by Joplin). It's in 3/4 time, a rarity in rag-time I think.

Also loved the third: which is the more difficult(not considering the second)? Probably a toss up.

Alberich

Like rags? You need to check out the music of William Albright and William Bolcom. Modern rags which were very influenced by the old style. They brought about something of a revival of ragtime music in the modern era.

I'd recommend "Brass Knuckles" by Albright, and "Serpent's Kiss" or "3 Ghost Rags" by Bolcom.

Or, for something insane, check out "Rag Infermal" by Bolcom, from his "12 New Etudes."

The more difficult piece is March of the Dwarfs.

Both of the version of Maple Leaf Rag were way too fast. A constant problem with Rod Miller, the Disneyland pianist ... extremely talented but always in a hurry to get nowhere.

... that is a testament to just how easy the rag is, people all seem to want to play it about 1.5 to 3 times the speed it should be played.

March of the Dwarfs.....GREAT piece!
