How difficult is it?

How long does it take?
Four to eight weeks.
A rule of thumb, not a rule – how fast it goes depends on prior experience and practice time. This level is an assessment, not a measurement: most pieces exist in arrangements ranging from heavily simplified to concert level. The rating refers to the common arrangement.
Which instrument suits it?
Needs pedal and decay for the broken chords. Polyphony below 64 voices becomes audibly tight.
