Sorabji poster, I have been dying to get opus claviballisticum sheet music and if you could send it to me like you said over AIM or whatever I would be super super stoked. I am a composer and pianist and want to take in this piece, it is essential for my further development. Thanks for any help and my e-mail is ode200@nyu.edu THANKS BRO!

sorabji, wen u say u heard a mistake in lots of parts of horowitz`s recording of rachmaninov 3rd piano concerto, do u mean technical mistakes? like little slips of notes? cuz it isn`t about that, it`s about how he speaks the music, and how he plays it musically! u kno that, right?

Wow, you guys are out of the loop. Sorabji for sure is difficult. So is Rachmaninoff. Not the most difficult ever. I recommened early Ornstein, Antheil, Liszt Transcendental Etudes, Finnissy, Ligeti Etudes, Messiaen, and some George Crumb. Alkan's Grand Sonata is pretty hard too. And the transcription of Art Tatum doing Tiger Rag is impossibly fast. I love and acknowledge Sorabji. But he can't hold a candle.

You guys suck,Opus Clavicembalisticum is definately not the hardest piece... and I'm not lying. Rzewski's 'The road', Cage's 'etudes australes', Sorabji's opus Archimagicum, Barlow's Cogluotesmelbaalbaa...[long name like clavicembalisticum], Donald Martinu's Pianississimo..... those outclass Clavicembalisticum on technical difficulty, but aren't necesarily as long...

ps. the length of a piece doesn't signify it's difficulty whatsoever.
