Sounds sexy, but Herma may be a bit too... out there for a competition.

Actually I'm kind of worried about running the Dvorak Quintet as opposed to the Brahms or Schumann but I don't know either, nor am I particularly good at playing brahms or schumann, particularly brahms.  I wish they allowed the shosty or bartok ><

Why is it always the same three piano quintets at these competitions?  Surely there are others of equal merit, perhaps from different time periods?

Skeptopotamus,

first of all, I definitely agree with Yang on that I like your taste, it isn't too boring and overplayed.


second,

how do you prepare for these competitions?  Do you resurrect repitoire you've already learned?  How much of it would be new and how much already finished?

Musicdarkangel, will you marry me?  XD  I LOVE your signature.  ROFL



Anyways, all of that is already in my repertoire, though some of it is new stuff or stuff I'm still perfecting.
