Audition pieces for English Conservatoires
on: August 29, 2003, 11:09:09 PM
With auditions coming up in December, I am constructing my audition programmes:
Royal College of Music (15 mins max, 3 pieces) and Guildhall School of Music and Drama (3 pieces):
Scarlatti: Sonata in B minor KV.027
Rautavaara: Sonata no.2 "The Fire Sermon" Mvt. 1
Horowitz: Variations on themes from Carmen
Royal Northern College (3/4 pieces, approx. 20 mins):
Above 3 plus:
Liszt: La Campanella
Royal Academy of Music (20-40 minutes):
Above 4 plus:
Beethoven: Appassionata sonata Mvt. 1
Please could I have some feedback on this programme?
Thanks very much in advance,
Ed

Apart from the Liszt and Beethoven I am not familiar with the works in your programme although I have heard the Horowitz Carmen arrangement and the Scarlatti.
You are presenting a very challenging and unusual grouping of pieces in which you can show the brilliance of your playing. With your audition quite close I would not attempt to make any changes.
If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to include a slower, more introspective piece such as a Chopin Nocturne or a
Brahms' Intermezzo or even something from the French School to give more stylistic balance to your presentation.
All the very best,
Robert.

These are the stages I am at with each piece at the moment:
Scarlatti: Learnt the first half from memory
Rautavaara: Put the fingerings in
Horowitz: Learnt from memory but needs touching up
Liszt: Learn from memory
Beethoven: Learn from music
