Concertprogram
on: August 13, 2003, 02:18:50 PM
Hello pianists!
I would like to know your proposals or critiques. How do you think about this recital programme?

Schubert: Drei Klavierstucke D.946
M. Ravel: Valses nobles et sentimentales
--intermission--
Chopin: Fantaisie op.49
Scriabin: Sonate-Fantasy op.19 no.2

(this programme takes appr.63 min)

An intellectuel, too formal, boring, different styles mixture etc etc..
What is your opinion as audience or in a pianistic way?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks a lot!

:)

I think you chose interesting pieces. However, I think the distribution is unbalances : you play lightr pieces first, and after the intermission you have greater scale pieces. You might tire the public.

How about starting with the Chopin Fantaisie, then the Schubert pieces, and after the intermission, the Scriabin sonata and the Ravel ? I would add at the end a short and brilliant piece, to finish off with brio.Just a thought.

I'd change the order too:Schubert-Chopin/Ravel-Scriabin. Good program, unusual combination, that's cool,congratulations, if I saw the add in a newspaper, I'd go and listen.

Thanks for your suggestions!
I feel Schubert-this piece is not a light one?!
After Ravel, you wrote a showy piece (virtuostic one)-Which one do you recommend?

“The Sound Always Comes First” — Andrea Bonatta on Teaching Liszt

Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet. Here, in conversation with Piano Street at Liszt Utrecht 2026, he shares his vision. Read more
