Ideas for a new piece

[tabris]

Hey everyone.  My teacher has given me some choices for a piece to play for next term.  I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on enjoyability, difficulty, etc.  The pieces are

Mendelssohn: Phantasie in F-sharp minor, op. 28
Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody no. 14 in F minor
Grieg: Selections from Norwegian Peasant Dances
Albinez: Rondena or Navarra

Thanks

I never played a piece of Albéniz, but I heard from a lot of pianists that it's a lot of fun to play! Kinda Spanish if I'm not wrong..

I vote for the Albeniz, then the Grieg

I think you could gain alot form playing the mendelssohn. A large scale piece with many technical and musical difficulties.

do the albeniz!!!!!

I concur- Albeniz's Navarra. I love listening to that piece.

I'm starting to lean the direction of Albeniz.  Navarra is really cool but seems a lot harder.  If I decide on this any recommendations for what publisher to get the music from?  I dont think there is a Henle edition.  What do people normally use for Albeniz?

Thanks

Uh, what's the deal with all these spam posts lately.  Well whatever.  I still need help with finding a good publisher for Albeniz's music.  Any ideas?

Thanks

why not all of them...

[tabris]

Huh?  All of them?  Sorry i'm not quite understanding what you mean.  All of the publishers?  Or are you saying I should play all of those pieces?  I guess that makes more sense.  Well I need it for juries, but I only need one more piece.  I can't play everything for juries.  Besides I wouldn't be able to do all of that stuff at once.  I'm not that good.  But if you have any suggestions on a good publisher for Albeniz please let me know.

Thanks

I meant all the pieces. And personally if I had to choose only one, it would the mendelsohn's fantasy. I play it

I don't get why people make these topics. Can't your teacher tell you the relative difficulty of the pieces he/she wants you to play? Can't your teacher play the pieces he/she is offering so that you can choose that way?

Jesus.

Ask your teacher what publisher he/she recommends.  Maybe he/she can get you a discount at the music store.

I was just curious to what other people's opinions were.  My teacher doesn't always assign pieces that he himself has played.  That's not so surprising is it?  Anyways I have my own ideas about the difficulty but as I said I was interested in hearing how other people felt on the pieces, not just on the difficulty but on how they liked them.  As far as the publisher goes I just wondered if there were any common ones that people on this site like to use.
