Repertoire question
on: August 17, 2005, 10:44:05 PM
Would you consider this to be a good competition/recital program?  Merely a hypothetical question of course.

Bach - Partita no.3 in a minor
Beethoven - Sonata in e minor op. 90
Liszt - Les jeux d'eau a la Villa d'Este
Debussy - Preludes, book I

i would go to it. i might find all of Debussy's preludes a bit too much, but maybe not, if they are performed well it would be a great performance.

I Love the repertoire choices...one of my great friends played an analogous repertoire, except he played beethoven's opus 100 sonata and liszt's vallee d'obermann...but your set liszt sounds fantastic

I might also recommend learning a chopin ballade to compliment your repertoire or one of the horowitz transcriptions or a scriabin etude for a good encore

I like the entire programme... except for the Beethoven Sonata, which I don't find that interesting compared to his masterpiece sonatas.
