High school amateur
on: August 19, 2005, 03:29:23 AM
Thought this would be some good input, second type of opinion from my teacher's.

Im a high school junior now, have been playing piano for 11 years. Im a perfectionist, so rather than learning an entire repertoire, I learn two or three pieces at a time, maximally. I balance piano with guitar, marching band, jazz band, concert, band, and a very demanding college prep high school. My teacher  has a annual classical recital for her advanced players, last one just recently. Wanted some ideas on what to go out on I guess, as my last recital will be next year. Im in a bad habit, but I enjoy full sounding, overwhelming, awe inspiring  pieces I guess. Ill list what I have played, just wanted some ideas, even composers is enough.

--What Ive played--
Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# 3/2
Beethoven Pathetique
Kuhlau Sonatinas
Beethoven Sonata 49/2
Bach Inventions
Chopin Revolutionary Etude

Make fun of me if you want ;D
Im not interested in anything having to do with piano and college, so basics and standards and need to knows are not really important to me, just fun:)

You need some Lizst in there, it's great fun! Etude in Db "un Sospiro" or Hungarian Rhapsody #2

definitely hungarian rhapsody 2 or 6
You either do or do not. There is no try- Yoda

Life is like a piano, what you get out of it depends on how you play it
