Hermes PapakonstantinouAugust 5, 2017, 5:12 PM I am sorry in advance for my answerI am not sure if I can rate those form the easiest to the most difficult (I would like to see a "list" though from anybody else). It's complicated since they are so much different as you say - I also suppose that we are not talking about just getting through the score. Most of them require either a certain level of technique, or an understanding of style, or both. My only piece of advice is before the Ysaye Sonata, go through the Bach sonatas for solo violin (if you haven't already - again I am sorry but I do not know your level)Also, if you have not messed with chamber music, starting with the Kreutzer sonata wouldn't be that brilliant. I also have some thoughts about this sonata. Maybe by looking at the score you could get the impression that it would be the easiest to get through...However it could prove the most difficult to perform in an above the acceptable manner.As far as Piazzolla is concerned, for me it's all about the style and the vibe... :)
Jim HastingsAugust 6, 2017, 3:41 PM Have you checked out Violin Masterclass? It lists your Chausson, Ravel, and Beethoven selections at Level 8. The Saint-Saens is Level 9.Those are the only four I checked. Still, you won't find total consensus on order of difficulty. Some students, for instance, may find a particular Level 8 piece more challenging in some regards than a Level 9 piece. I'm writing that statement from my own personal experience.
Paul DeckAugust 6, 2017, 7:34 PM They're all too hard for me. I suspect ordering will be rather "individual" because they may have different elements that are more within your skill set than others. That's why it's good to have your teacher help you decide the order in which they are studying.
Katie B.August 6, 2017, 10:03 PM Does anyone else find the levels on Violin Masterclass to be slightly odd?They've got Bartok 1 and Viotti 22/23 in the same level...Vieuxtemps after Prokofiev and Berg...The Delay sequence makes more sense to me intuitively.
Lydia LeongAugust 7, 2017, 8:37 AM Yes. Quite a few are odd.
Eric QuanAugust 7, 2017, 9:17 AM Personally, I feel some of these level placements on some pieces are a little out of place. For example, Wieniawski Variations on an Original Theme is placed at lvl 8 on Violin Masterclass. I am currently working on Wieniawski Concerto #2 and I find the variations much harder, but find Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso easier than Wieniawski. Truthfully, I feel most of these schools of thought don't make sense to me. It is really is up to the artist to decide what is hard and what is easy. Really, they just have to try stuff out.
Calvin, here is a list that I have complied based solely on my opinion. (easiest)Piazzolla Four Seasons (not entirely sure)
Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo
Ysaye Sonata #4 (Yes. I played a lot of Bach.)
Wieniawski Variations on an original theme
Waxman Carmen Fantasy
Beethoven Sonata "Kreutzer"
Bazzini Round of the Goblins
Chausson Poeme
Ravel Tzigane
Hubay Carmen Fantasy(hardest)I've added a few other pieces for your own interest. You may want to look back to this list for future reference if this makes sense to you and you take interest into those pieces.
Calvin AlexanderAugust 7, 2017, 10:23 PM Thank y'all so much! Eric, the pieces that you added are great!

Souvenir de Moscou is a splendid example of the instrumental virtuoso miniature, which constituted a permanent entry of Henryk Wieniawski's concert programmes. in the composition, Wieniawski used two romances by Alexander Varlamov, the Russian author of numerous songs and romances. Wieniawski employed the souvenir model, the immensely popular element of the salon repertoire. The composition has the form of a theme with variations presented in an abridged and simplified version. Both themes are first sung in the original form, and then developed in variations.

Katie B.Edited: March 5, 2018, 9:55 AM Go to and work your way through the chamber music literature. I'm particularly partial to Dvorak, especially the A major piano quintet and the piano trios.Maybe you could also consider working your way through particular composers/periods, starting with the genre in which they excelled. So, Mozart operas, starting with Figaro. Chopin Nocturnes. Haydn string quartets. Beethoven/Brahms/Mahler symphonies. Schubert lieder. Etc.

Mark BouquetEdited: March 4, 2018, 3:19 PM I'm fortunate to have a great listener sponsored classical music station in my broadcast region, KDFC. Listen to that online if you want experts to pick the tracks for you. Perhaps there are other great stations in other regions? Any suggestions everybody?
Rocky MilankovEdited: March 5, 2018, 10:05 AM Toronto public library provides to it's members free access to Naxos music library. Sound quality is average, but there is literally all music recorded by Naxos and more.
Scott ColeMarch 5, 2018, 9:37 AM "Tried wandering aimlessly on youtube without much sucess"One of the tragedies of the modern age is that people really believe that Youtube is THE source for music, and if it doesn't exist there it doesn't exist at all.Youtube to music is like the shadowy figures on the wall of Plato's cave.
Andrew VictorMarch 5, 2018, 9:46 AM What? No Mozart yet? Try his K516 2-viola string quintet!
Demian HesseMarch 5, 2018, 10:39 AM "One of the tragedies of the modern age is that people really believe that Youtube is THE source for music, and if it doesn't exist there it doesn't exist at all."I have to agree here.Use Soulseek. If it isn't there then it doesn't exist. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1445120547957-0'); );
Gabriel BlakeEdited: March 5, 2018, 3:43 PM Agreed with Scott. I usually find the music or a well noted name and then search Youtube for it/them. Sometimes you'll have struck gold and relevant or good leads will pop up but it'll still only get you so far before the search becomes stale again. One of my favorites off Youtube still is Wieniawski's variations on an original theme Op 15 performed by Ilya Grubert.
Will WilkinMarch 5, 2018, 3:48 PM For listening, I like the Handel operas. For violin inspirations, I like the Corelli sonatas and anything played by Andrew Manze. And that's about as modern as I usually like to get.
Andrew HsiehMarch 5, 2018, 11:15 PM To use YouTube as a source, you pretty much have to know what you're looking for.That said, sometimes I discover interesting new music if I find the YouTube channel of a regularly-held music festival.
Demian HesseMarch 6, 2018, 5:33 AM Some mainstream pieces you should knowHaydn Symphony N 45
Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusic
Beethoven 6 and 7 Symphony
Berlioz Symphonique Fantastique
Liszt Les Preludes
Smetana Ma Vlast
Jason BroanderMarch 6, 2018, 9:06 AM The Naxos library is great, has a lifetime of music. If you subscribe to IMSLP you get access as well, so anyone can get it for very little.Also, Apple Music has a very deep library too, and you can have it generate random mix "radio stations".
Paul DeckEdited: March 6, 2018, 11:08 AM If you are interested at all in solo piano music, I suggest the best piece ever written for that instrument: The B Minor Sonata by Franz Liszt. I also recommend the album "Horowitz Plays Scriabin." When you listen to chamber music I suggest you do so with the score in your lap. You can get a Dover edition of all of Beethoven's quartets for $20 on Amazon. I don't know how they even print it for that price.I have found that Spotify does a better job of suggesting something "similar" than YouTube.
Jacob SumnerMarch 6, 2018, 9:27 PM Here are some of my go-to pieces when I want to listen to something:
Schoenberg - Verklarte Nacht
Mendelssohn - String Octet
Brahms - Any symphony
Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1 and Symphony 5
Chopin - Nocturnes
Pretty much any standard VC's, or Cello concertos.
Anna Cats March 6, 2018, 11:25 PM takashi yoshimatsu's memo flora piano concerto. it's my favorite piece of music right now and he's a great composer that I don't hear about enough
Paul DeckMarch 7, 2018, 6:13 AM Zero female composers mentioned so far. Chamber music of Amy Beach, some of it is very nice.
Anna Cats March 7, 2018, 7:00 AM if we're talking female composers then lili boulanger's nocturne is a personal favorite of mine
Neil CameronMarch 8, 2018, 4:41 PM While we're on the topic of female composers, I feel compelled to add the wonderful viola compositions of Rebecca Clarke. My particular favourite being Morpheus _vZKrEOLYE. However, have a stroll through her other compositions as well, especially her sonata for viola and piano.
