My brother's high school concert band played it for fun in class. It's definitely hard to play. I can see why it would be depressing to see a 14 year perform it perfectly. I wouldn't feel too bad about it though. The fact that you played in an orchestra demonstrates that you have musical talent. That's something to be proud of.

I watched a 14 year old kid play this flawlessly once. It was depressing, since I'd been playing twice as long as he had at the time and there's no way I could ever play that one. lol It was fun playing in the orchestra though. It has to be one of the most difficult pieces of piano music in existence, but also possibly one of the coolest.

lol I'm definitely proud of my musical ability, but what I always lacked was discipline for the most part. I always played things (still do on piano) the way I wanted to play them rather than exactly as they were written, which doesn't always fly in the musical world. lol

Actually, your brother's concert band version of Rhapsody in Blue is not too far off the mark, as it was originally scored for Jazz Band (Specifically, Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra.). The real b***h of that number is the opening clarinet riff, especially if you don't play either jazz or klezmer.
