Very small and insubstantial.
Much like the credibility of any anti-Argerich statement, Ed
The tango I've mentioned there is a great piece of music. However, I'm sure Thracozaag can attest to this - stay away from it!
Are we talking about Nancarrow?Ed
That's incredible, Mei-Ting.I'm 17, so far have these PEICES in my repertoire:Beethoven- Symphony No.5 piano reduction by Frans Liszt
By repertoire, do you mean what the person can play, or what the person would be willing to play in front of TV to millions of people? I believe repertoire should be defined by the latter.
Chopin- Fantasy Impromptu, Waltz in A minor, working on winterwind etudeLiszt- about 4 pages of mazeppaRachmaninoff-working on op.23 no.5 preludeVolodos- Turkish marchSousa/Horowitz- the whole stars and stripes forever, 1 1/2 pages of horowitz transcriptionMacDowell-to a wild roseBeethoven- Fur elise, Moonlight first movement, farewell to the pianoCarl Keolling- HungaryTchaikovsky- russian danceCompositions: 1, and a variation on jingle bells for christmas, variation on canon in D, sorta working on flight of bumblebee arrangment, doing an arrangment of that song that you roll your knuckles accross the black keys (non-piano players play it)pachelbel- canon in DJoplin- the entertainer, some of maple leaf ragKhachaturian: working on sabre danceuknown of composers: seagulls, journey west, farewell to ireland, the bullfight, sombreo sam, white key polka, chopsticks, heart and soul (both hands), sea oats,
Hey, someone else who did Hungary! I did that and fur elise for my first recital. We seem to have a lot of similar rep. as I have also done he entertainer and the maple leaf rag. (not to mention chopsticks and heart and soul)
Please post sum of your Volodos, Liszt and Horowitz.I find it very hard to believe you when you mention those pieces with pieces as Fur Elise and the entertainer.
Hey someone else who did hungary...whenever i ask, no one has ever heard of the peice, i should put it in the audition room one of these days.Ditto here, I have yet to meet someone who had heard of it. I did finally find a friend who had done a piece by the same person.
Going back to the subject...I'm currently working on the first movement of you-know-what, and a bunch of other stuff that I can never quite remember all at once. Beethoven Das Lieberwohl is one thing, and Chopin third Scherzo, and thirds etude, and some other stuff. Oh and Mozart G major #17. I can't possibly organize my past repertoire, there is the Raindrop Prelude and Rondo Alla Turca and two Chopin Polonaises etc.
I am 12. I have played for 4 years. This is stuff I have learned in the past year.Beethoven ~Moonlight Sonata (never finished the last movement, though. Got halfway) ~German Dance in e-flat major ~Bagatelle in A minor ~Allemande in A ~Minuet in C major ~Fur Elise ~Minuet in D major ~Allegretto (from Symphony No. 7) ~Sonatina No. 1 in G major ~Pathetique Sonata (exempt mov. 3) ~Theme ~Ecossaise ~Fragment of Appassionata (had to quit learning it. Grandmother didn't like it.) ~Part of Concerto No. 5Chopin ~Minute Waltz (couldn't get it under a minute) ~Polonaise Militair ~Waltz in CHaydn ~Minuet in D major ~Minuet in B flat major ~Gypsy Dance in C Major ~ANOTHER Minuet in D major ~Scherzo in F major ~Andante in G minor ~Presto in C majorMozart ~Rondo ~Minuet 1 from 8 Minuets with Trio ~Minuet 3 from 8 Minuets with Trio ~Minuet 8 from 8 Minuets with Trio ~Alla Turca ~Sonatina ~Klavierstuck in F ~Andante in F ~Minuet in F ~Little Funeral March ~Moderato in F major ~Adagio in C ~Presto in B flat MajorBach ~Invention No.1 ~Musette ~GavotteJuan C. Calderon ~Eres Tu/Touch the WindClementi ~Sonatina, Op. 36, No.1 ~Sonatina, Op. 36, No.3 (first movement)Tchaikovsky ~Secne from Swan LakeAlfred ~Brazilian Holiday ~Spanish Dance ~Variations on a Sea ChantyGeorg Bohm ~MinuetAnton Diabelli ~BagatellePalmer ~AlouetteBurgmuller ~BalladeAttwood ~Sonatina 1Latour ~Sonatina 2Camidge ~Sonatina 1Schwabe ~Cactus CatThat is all I can remember.
How on earth can someone learn all those works and play them uptempo without countless wrong notes?
Wow that is amazing for being 12 only. Good work! btw my grandmother didn't like Gershwin. She made me so mad!!!!!
