1812 Overture by a long shot. You try playing in upper register at FFFF on a bari sax in tune. Or play 16th notes at fast tempos.
I've also played the Overture to Candide and Vesuvius.
This year we have Children's March, No1. Colonial Song (both by Grainger), and Americans We that are of difficulty.

"Blue Shades",
"Jupiter" from "The Planets",
"La Mezquita de Cordoba",
"Finale" from Tchaikovsky's "Symphony #4 in F Minor",
"Lincolnshire Posy",
and "Wedding Song".
But they've all been really cool pieces in the end. (Except for Licolnshire.)

i'd have to say "Heroes Lost and Fallen" by Gillingham was the hardest piece. especially demanding on the percussion. you'd never think rests would be so hard....

I think it depends on the level of playing I was at during a specific time. As far as just having to sit down and play a piece; my first year in high school we played Mars, Bringer of War for festival. As a flutist coming totally unprepared out of my middle school, I was terrified of music that was almost completely written in the upper register. I can play it now without exerting any effort at all.
So what is hard for you to play depends on what you have played before and at what level you perform.

KWSN 1812 Overture by a long shot. You try playing in upper register at FFFF on a bari sax in tune. Or play 16th notes at fast tempos. I've also played the Overture to Candide and Vesuvius. This year we have Children's March, No1. Colonial Song (both by Grainger), and Americans We that are of difficulty. A Children's March isn't hard, it's fun! 4laugh As for hardest song...umm definitely The Firebird Suite. It was hard for me personally, but for the orchestra as a whole, seeing how it's an incredibly demanding piece.

And here you are saying it's hard. for us? Pevensey Castle...that sucker goes to 152. and I had to play snare drum....Ms. Naumann can be evil sometimes...

The piccolo part is the hardest piccolo part of all orchestral literature (i played piccolo). And seeing as how you played it in band, you probably played some crappy arrangement of it that was dumbed down. And I actually meant to say that it WASN'T hard for my, but was for the orchestra. And as far as that piece you played that goes as 152, I just played a flute trio that was 168 BPM, and I had straight triplets for 50 measures, and I single tongued them all. Oh, and I had to learn it, and then perform it in less than a week. Yeah, don't go dissing the top flutist in the tri-state area (ME).

This may make me sound weak, but the hardest song I played was titled Russian Sailor's Dance. It was the hardest song that I've ever played. In all 3-4 years of playing violin, I never played alot of pieces.

Vesuvius, I guess wasn't too hard for me (bassoon parts), but I was the only one in the band that played it perfectly on our tests. We never ended up playing it. I was depressed.
Suite in E-flat, I think, is the hardest I've ever played.

Souza's "March of the Miten Men". That song is a pain in the a**!(I'm in a band were almost every body knows every souza march but me! And it sucks because our concerts are the first time we play the somgs. I think I've actualy astablished that almost all souza marches are Hell reborn.[I never said they weren't fun though]) wink

Let's see, Metroplex was a very good piece, the last parts of it are the really challenging part, very fast with lots of runs. The Firebird Suite is the hardest piccolo piece that I have ever seen...and it was the hardest piece for everyone else in my youth symphony orchestra. xd
