I've been wondering what piece people think is the most difficult for the clarinet. I expect to get mixed replies, but please feel free to voice your opinion. Thank You

One of the most difficult I believe is the Copland. It is very technically difficult, and you have to have a lot of stamina to play for 17 minutes straight by yourself! (I wasn't counting piano or orchestra)

I agree with the Copland Concerto. But for A clarinet, I feel that the Neilsen Concerto is the most difficult. Just by looking at it, you can tell it is difficult.

so far i've played Von Weber's Concerto #2 Polacca and that has some areas that are challenging also Spohr's Concerto #2 or 3 i think! it's hard

I played the Bozza Concerto this year, and I'm planning to play the Nielsen Concerto as a senior solo next year. How do you think they compare?

The Neilson is tough and the Bozza is a real bear, especially the last movement, but I am with Mark. The Corigliano gets my vote.

I tend to agree with an old teacher of mine,
An easy piece is something you play badly, because it is easy to play badly.
A difficult piece is something you play well, because it is difficult to play well.

I think, You can understand "difficult" in several ways, but if difficult="technically demanding" the most difficult piece is Francaix“s concerto, I suppose. But if "difficult is something else, Debussy“s rhapsody is difficult as well?
