i think that arabesque 2 is a bit harder because of the rapid triplets and the wide chrods...

i prefer the first one.

I think both have the same difficulty....But I like the first one better, even though I needed some time to learn the part when quavers are in the left hand and triplets right...

it doesn't really matter if a piece is extremely difficult....as long as it sounds good.... i mean music wise

looks like arabesque 1 is winning- ten votes to none at all!

just 11

aw come on. arabesque 2 is a GREAT song too. they are both genius, but what does arabesque 1 have that 2 doesnt?

the first one has more soul, and is gorgeous, whereas the second is too "frilly" for my liking.

Did you vote, PianoPymp?

no i didnt vote, i dont really like playing faorites between songs i like so i let you guys do it. lol

i think Arabesque 1 is the easier of the two, but i prefer the second one. The first one is overrated

Hi

I like both, but I like the second one more. (come on, it's only one page longer!) I don't think it's too 'frilly', I actually think it's supposed to initate the sounds of a bird, and an arabesque has usually got ornaments in it (they both have triplets!).

which one is which?i know theres an arabeque for grade8 piano.

Which is the one in the exam list?? Which ever the one one the list is the one that I like.

Arabesque No. 1 in E is the one on the Grade 8 list.

Hi

They were both in the syllabus- the first one is in the new syllabus and the second one was in the syllabus from aaaaaaaaaaagggessssss ago!

the first is much better, more nicer and melow sounding
