Title: New Rep
Post by: martha96 on March 15, 2014, 07:09:50 AM

Hi, everybody!  ;D I am looking for a new repertoire and any ideas/suggestions would help a lot.
My current one looks like this:
Bach Prelude and Fugue in g minor Book 1.
Beethoven sonata Op.28.
Liszt 'Wilde Jagd' Transcendental etude.
Rachmaninov Corelli Variations Op.42.

Check out the Scarlatti sonatas.  There are plenty to choose from.

Do you want the usual stuff or something less familiar?

Sorry I didn't reply for so long, but I had a very busy schedule.  ::) Actually, I was/am looking for something from the standard repertoire, still not being overplayed or boring for the both audience and judges. Unfortunately, I can't play Chaminade, Piazolla and other composers that are not in the standard repertoire, as I'm professional and not an amateur. Still, I will play those pieces for fun, apart from the 'real' rep.  ;D

Can you specify what this rep is for?  Juries, auditions, themed recitals?

What exactly prevents you from playing non standard rep?

You sound like a royal turd. What the hell does 'real, rep mean? Good music by fine composers is pretty damn real.

If you're a professional and can't decide on your own "real rep", then frankly you ain't much of one.
