My upcoming repetoire?
on: August 30, 2005, 06:07:43 AM
I just finished grade 10 exam for piano and for that I played the following:

-Bach P&F in Bb Major (first book)
-Beethoven Pathetique 2nd and 3rd movement
-Grieg Wedding day at Troldhaugen
-Rachmaninov Prelude in C# minor
-Bartok 4 selections from 15 hungarian peasant songs
-Scriabin Etude op 2 no 1
-Czerny study in f major from 299

For my new repetoire I am thinking of:
-Beethoven 1st piano concerto
-Chopin Revoluntionary etude
-Rachmaninov Prelude op 23 no. 5 g minor

Any other suggestions? or changes to the ones I am thinking about?

Thanks.

I think you need some ESPANA in your rep, my friend.   8)   

Based on your current rep, these would be perfect for you, and they're not overplayed like the Revolutionary and 23/5 are.

Here's a variety of very different styles.  You can search for them on Amazon to hear audio snippets.  Good luck!

(Baroque):  Soler's Sonata in F# Major
(Romantic):  Granados 12 Spanish Dances (I'm sure you've heard #5 before)
(20th C.):  Mompou's Cant Magics (Energic, Obscur, Profond, Misterios, Calma)

Throw in some Scarlatti and another Scriabin piece or two and you'd be set.
