I'm going for a competition soon, and I need help in picking one element of the programme. In the first round, I am playing (as required) a Chopin Etude (probably 10.4), Bach G major P&F from book II, and the Schumann Arabeske. I need an extra work (of max 8/9 minutes' duration). What would complement this programme well?

Thanks,
Amit

Edit: Do you know any Liszt programme music?

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

Within your capabilities, probably Ginastera Danzas Argentinas (6-8 mins).

I agree - either the Ginastera, or first movement of a Beethoven sonata.  Certainly something from another time period.

Best,
