Another Audition needs help..
on: March 16, 2006, 10:59:34 PM
Hello all, I am a 9th grader who has been playing piano for a little over three years, doing pretty well, nothing amazing though.

These are the pieces in my current repertoire:

Prelude and Fugue in F Minor by Bach (WTCII)

Prelude in D minor by Bach (WTCII)

Sonata in G Major Op.49 No. 2 Beethoven (2 mvt.)

Moonlight Sonata (1st Mvt. memorized, 2nd studied well, 3rd just finished sightreading >.<)

Prelude in G Major Chopin

Invention 1 and 13 by Bach

March Picadilly by Satie

So far I'm planning to do the f minor prelude+fugue, 3 movements of either sonata (which should I do?) , the March by Satie, another Invention or d minor prelude (which should I do?), and I need a suggestion for one more romantic piece and one more modern slow avant garde piece appropiate for my playing level,
 
Thanks

btw, my audition is in June so the pieces you recommend I learn shouldn't be more than 5 minutes and be not too challenging or too easy. Also I can hit a 9th well, preferrably no or very few 10ths though  :-X

For the modern one, how bout Debussy Bruyeres?  That's suddenly getting very popular for competitions and auditions and the like.

It's called Bruyeres? Where can I get the sheet music?

I looked at it and it seems too difficult, any more suggestions? Also should i do either the 9/1 or 9/2 nocturne because that was also recommended for me. thx
