competition question

[jamie0168]

I'm entering a competition where you're supposed to prepare 3 pieces. I'll only be playing 2 of them. One of them, I choose. And the other is chosen by the judges. Even though there's no sure way to predict which piece they'll pick, I'm curious what factors flow into it. I'm guessing that they pick a piece that will show the widest view of my pianistic skills. I'm playing a Rachmaninoff prelude for my first piece. For the other, they can choose between a bach prelude and fugue or an early Beethoven Sonata mvmt. 1.
Don't worry. I'm prepared with all 3 pieces. I'm not hoping for one or the other. I'm just curious.

It'd help to know which rachmaninov prelude, bach prelude and fugue, and beethoven sonata mvt you're playing.

Prelude Opus 32 No.10 in Bminor
Sonata Opus 14. No.2 Mvmt.1 in G major
Bach p&f in Bminor no.24 from WTC Book2 BWV 893

Id want to listen to the sonata just to see how you put across a different character and a brighter key! Plus to see how your architecture is in a sonata mvt!

I think the judges would want to listen to the sonata--it's a greater contrast to your rachmaninov.
