Chopin - Military Polonaise
Ravel - Jeux d'eau
Wild-Gershwin - Etude #6 "I Got Rhythm"

Bach Italian Concerto (hopefully all 3 mvts., but certainly 1 and 2)
Chopin Nocturne Op.55 No.1 and Op.72 No.1
Scriabin Etude Op.2 No.1
Rachmaninoff Prelude in G# minor Op.32 No.12
Mozart Sonata k.457 in C minor

Better simple and perfect than complex but not ready.

Andrew,

me + you, at Colburn. Thursday. You better wait for me after the audition, and bring a laptop because we're going to copy their CD library to mp3.
