20th Century work for Junior Recital.
on: December 06, 2005, 12:36:22 PM
I am looking for a short 20th Century work (3-6 minutes) that is not by Debussy or Ravel to play on my junior recital at the end of the 2006 Spring semester.  Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Maybe some Prokofiev-Toccata or Sugestion Diabolique

Or maybe selection of Scriabin preludes from op.11 (this is good choice if you play after them some big romantic piece like Liszt-some of them are relaxing so you can take a breathe..)

Of course Bartok-Allegro Barbaro

or you can chose some Rachmanionv (some prelude, or Etude-tableaux, or Moment Musicaux)

And next year is Mozart year, but also Schostakovich (I think 100 year of his birth)- he wrote beautifull  24 Preludes, so choice is your.. :)

You might want to also consider Ginastera.

Maybe some Prokofiev from "Romeo and Juliet" Op. 75.

Why not something that is actually modern, like Rachel Eubank's Intermezzi. (Written in 1984.)
