Junior Recital
on: December 04, 2005, 08:16:02 PM
So what do you guys think?

Schuman - Romance Op. 28 No. 2
Beethoven - PS No. 11 Op. 22
Chopin - Ballade Op. 38
------------
Bach - French Suite VI BWV 817
Kabalevsky - PS No. 3 Op. 46

I saw Nelita True in recital and she started with the Schumann... I fell in love with it.  A beautiful opener.  I kinda switched the Chopin and Bach because I would love to end the first half tragically, and this is certainly a tragic piece.  Also, the Beethoven is quite long, so I'm not sure what to couple it with to avoid a reallly long half.  But I will definitely end with the Kabalevsky, it's great. 

Thoughts?
