You want to scream, because if you practice too much you get sick of the music. I can't help but think that all the hard work and effort to master this difficult music is well worth the effort though. I thought maybe the 3rd is the easiest to play, but there again, the tempo must increase towards the coda, or the piece falls flat. So you have to find the correct fingering and practice it over and over again.
Whenever the score says presto, the pianist must have the notes down pat because if you play it too slowly and carefully it loses the effect.
They all demand a lot of practicing, because the intense passages, when Chopin is describing a storm or an inner upheavel of some kind, the pianist is called upon to whip up that extra bit of energy, and the chords become more complicated as well. Okay, I've been following this debate, and after four days of intense practice on all four of the ballades this is my conclusion about the toughest ballade (technically speaking) to play: it's.
