Repertoire Suggestions for a Competition

[dnephi]

I'm going to be doing a 15 min compet. statewide later this year. 
I am going to be doing:
Brahms Op. 118 No. 2 (5 Minutes)
MacDowell Op. 17 No. 2  (3 Minutes)
Chopet #12 (2-3)

We need to choose a Bach Prelude and Fugue and a Modern piece to fill the rest of the time.

Which ones would you recommend?  (WTC I)

Modern pieces- we were thinking of Muczynski Prelude #6 (sort of like prokofiev, but a little more grotesque in harmony), somewhat showy, and very short. It's like a toccata.

Or Copland "Scherzo Humoristique", the Cat and the Mouse.

My Mom told me that she hated the Muczynski so much that I would have to practice it at the university, not at home. 


Any other suggestions for short 20th century repertoire that wouldn't take too long to learn that would be good for a competition?

Thanks!

Why not WTC II?  I like nos. 2 and 14 the best.
WTC I nos. 3,6, 8.

How bout Muczynski Toccata?  Not as hard as it sounds and I like it better than the preludes.
short and showy, too.

Ravel Rigaudon from from Tombeau de Couperin perhaps, Khachaturian Toccata, or the last movement from Mussorgsky's pictures at an exhibition (Great Gate at Kiev)

[soliloquy]

so you have four minutes to squeeze a modern piece and a movement of WTK into?  I don't think you can do that =/


I think you need to drop the MacDowell.  That will give you 7-8 minutes, which is a lot more feasible.  How bout the C Minor from WTK book I  (it's short and easy) and then maybe... hmm.  That will still only leave you like 4 minutes for a modern piece.  How bout the Roslavets Prelude?  Possibly one of the Berio encores?  They aren't inordinantly difficult.

Is Mussorgsky 20th century?

Thought not.  Thanks for the suggestio iof mucz tok.

How hard is the Ravel (How long?) how hard/long is the Khatch Tok? 

Thanks .
