piano competition
on: September 17, 2006, 02:40:00 PM
right... as anyone who read my thread before might remember, im doing a piano competition in November, but they want the final program by Tuesday.

i have to play for 10-12 minutes and thought of doing a flashy piece, and a calmer piece. ive decided on either of these two programs but cant choose between the two. any advice?

either:

Liszt- Paysage (4-5 mins)
Ravel- Ondine (6 mins)

or:

Ravel- Vallee des Cloches (5 mins)
Liszt- Chasse-Neige (5-6 mins)

i am totally confident with all 4 of these pieces- just need to choose between them.

I'd go for the second option.
