Waldstein and Rach preludes are overplayed.
Its a little to looooooong I think.
I may not have read carefully enough, but it seems to me that you have not yet answered WHY it is that you intend to play such a gigantic recital? Is that the meaning of a "Grand" Recital?
a couple of reasons:1. i am competing in 3 international piano competitions in europe this year, using some of these repertoire.2. i wanna see if could do it3. back in the days, concerts lasted way longer 4. there hasnt been anyone doing anything like this in the country i'll be touring, so if its happening as planned, the concerts are going to be historical.5. "Habitually, recitals today are 40 minutes --- intermission --- 40 minutes, maybe......" ( cloches_de_geneve ). the word "habitually" refers to something that has been "overdone", and whose meaning has some blood-relation to the word "overplayed". "Waldstein and Rach preludes are overplayed." (cloches_de_geneve )6. these concerts may turn out to be fun, and curiously interesting. ( may not, as well. oh well )yes, "Grand" recital.
Seriously, if you're doing this programme to prepare for your upcoming competitions, there's nothing to say about your repertoire. I guess you're playing the pieces you're gonna play in the competitions, so what's there to say artistically about your show?It's too long, but it takes balls to do it; so go for it, it will thicken your skin.
good god and i thought lord of the rings 3 gave me a numb arse
haha we can set up a new butt massage business right outside all cinemas theatres and concert venues in britain!

i was amazed all the old geezers kinda died or retired. seems like a few years ago it was all grey hair. now they're all under 25 and most look 18 and they still play amazingly!

'Allo... Sorry it took so long...I do have my doubts about the length, but I understand your reasoning and admire your choice... I just really pray that your playing makes it worth it. Otherwise you won't have an audience by the 3rd session. You have to give them a reason to stay, make them thirsty for more.. I hope you do.. It should be interesting.I like the idea of an all-Brahms 2nd half.. And I've kept the Beethoven at the end assuming you are not going to have died of exhaustion by then.. Your encores are very well know, overplayed, but I suppose that kind of thing works with encores.Chances are, if this is successful as you would like it to be, you are going to come out of this a legend. If you pull it off... and well. I mean, the same standard of playing from the first note of the first piece all the way to the last note of the final encore. You cant afford to let it fall half way through the concert. Goodluck friend.Basic idea.. tell me what you think.

Are you going to have to play all this repertoire at one time at the competition?
If not, and you just want to make sure you can perform it all, bust it up into two or three different programs, and vary the programs from location to location. You said this was going to be on a tour?
it's a program for 2 recitals or even 3... not 1

Apart from the program, also decide a menu for the dinner you will serve the audience during the intermission(s).
