      This comment gave me flashbacks to when I, the only bassist in my orchestra, read and performed as much of both bass parts for Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite as I could. I at one point figured out how to hammer double stops so I could play a pizz and arco part at the same time. My maestro didn’t ask me to do this. No one asked me to do this. I don’t know why I did it but damn if I couldn’t play two parts at once on the bass for a solid 60-70% of the split parts in that piece.

      I think that only playing the melody would be considered "easy", especially if one disregards the dynamics and emotions when sight-reading (which is honestly what I do lol), plus it is meant to be played slowly. The hard thing about this piece (personally) would be the balancing the three different voices with utmost control over the dynamics and the phrasing, which is quite difficult as the piece is meant to be played softly.

    As a piano player and teacher, this makes me unreasonably happy. When you got to Debussy's arabesque -- I got shivers, it's my favourite song to play and listen to on the piano. I also second the comment with the "pianists play too many notes" on a t-shirt :D

      that's cause they just completely skipped both the chords and the left hand, so basically they sightread like 1/4 of the music at best, but still failed
