 Re: Physically hardest piece you've played?

Since this old thread was recently again taken up, I thought I would respond to the memory that Guy Duplus admitted he couldn't play the physically demanding solo clarinet piece, "For Clarinet," by Marius Constant.

Some sort of law seems to ordain that technical hurdles considered impossible by one generation are gleefully jumped over by {at least some) players of later generations. My guess is that the technically adept Duplus could play the parts of Constant's piece that lay in the conventional range of the clarinet, even the multiphoncs, but shied away from the extended altissimo passages. Some of this barrier to performance may have had to do with the lack of accepted fingering charts for the extended range during Duplus's prime.

Narek Arutyunian, on YouTube, just barely out of his teens, dashes very musically, to my ears, through the entire Constant peice, even fitting the most stratospheric notes into the form and context of the whole without blinking. I'd even have to say that I enjoyed this performance and listened to it several times, as I do when I hear him play less showy but musically demanding works such as the Mozart Trio or the Overture on Hebrew Themes (also on YouTube).
