percussive repertoire
on: January 25, 2004, 09:57:48 PM
I'm searching for a percussive style piece (i was thinking either bartokish or south american) for a student who has a tendency to loose her sense of detail and nuance when performing. It's for an exam that corresponds to the ninth year of study, and it has to be less than six minutes long. It can't be a set of several short pieces, and I can't think of anything good off hand. Any ideas? Thanks

Bartok's Allegro Barbaro maybe ?
It's not very hard and a really nice piece.

Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music
The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
