Awkward audience

[franzliszt2]

I'm looking for some advice on what sort of pieces to play to a non musical audience. They won't take kindly to anything serious, so I need a short, showy, but fun piece. I was thinking of Fazil Say's jazz fantasy after Mozart, which is short and fun, and they will recognise the theme (hopefully!) but I dunno whether they will understand some of the great chords, which will sound "wrong to them. For example, the ABbABb chord.

Any suggestions on a suitable piece?, I only have to play one piece, and on a silly electric piano, so no debussy or ravel, which I am most dissapointed about.

thanks

Hmmm...Rach preludes? Including C#minor? That's pretty short and showy, and sounds impressive and epic (if played well obviously), but on an electric piano maybe not...you could try though.

I would play FI or minute waltz. [Well, aside from not being able to play them, that is]

Or perhaps nocturne in C# minor posth.
