 Les Adieux

Hey,
so in tennessee each year, we have the tmta competition where middle school and high school students play 15 and 20 minute programs respectively and are judged and subsequently awarded 1st, 2nd, and so on. this competition normally takes place every may, so i've got a bit of time until i have to perform my program. my question is this: my piano teacher wants me to perform the first movement of the les adieux beethoven sonata (without repeat) in 4 minutes max; she'd really prefer me to perform this in 3:30 minutes. Is this a reasonable amount of time to perform this sonata? After doing a bit of searching on youtube, i found recordings by kempf, rudolph serkin, ashkanazy, arrau and many others performing this around 7 minutes with the repeat, many often going over. I've timed myself several times and i can't get this piece under five minutes. I just feel that this movement is so gorgeous and profound that rushing the first 10 or so measures or the last 30 or so measures in order to meet this timeframe would be so inappropriate. any thoughts? I should probably also mention that in this 20 minute timeframe, the rest of my program includes the third chopin ballade, and reflets dans l'eau by debussy. I was originally going to also play the Prokofiev toccata but we cut that thinking that i wouldn't have enough time seeing as i probably wouldn't be able to play it martha-argerich-speed.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
