Church recitle?

[imbetter]

 I just found out that every week my local church has a music performance. So I applied and they're going to let me play there in two weeks (since they were booked the following week).

Here's what I was planning on playing:

Beethoven: Appasionata
Beethoven: Waldstein
Mossgory(sp?): pictures at an exbidition

Encore: Haven't decided yet

What I'm asking of you is to rate this program and give me possible suggestions for an encore.

Thanks

[brahmsian]

Do you plan to learn all of those pieces in two weeks?

According to your repertoire list in the thread you started you don't play any of those you mentioned.

[imbetter]

That repertoire list is really old

[thalbergmad]

Pretty impressive for an 11 year old.

We have a genius amongst us.

[cygnusdei]

Are you sure the audience would appreciate 90 minutes of solo classical piano, not to mention 2 Beethoven sonatas back to back? If anything I'd say Bach-Busoni chorale preludes would fit the occasson.

[thalbergmad]

Yeh, a nice little collection of Bach transcriptions would go down a treat.

Check the Busoni and the Genius of Friedman.

PS recital not recitle

One that is not even able to spell the name of a composer he plays the opus magnum of :') .

[imbetter]

thanks ill try that Bach thingy you were talking about but what about an encore piece

[jpianoflorida]

question for you.       Do you really think you are better than everyone or was that just a joke?  I'm just curious.

It was just a joke. I'm not better than everyone, Imbetterthenyou.

Just kidding

[jakev2.0]

Yeah man, go for the "Mossgory".

[jre58591]

for the record, its "im better THAN you".

[jakev2.0]

true, genius works in mysterious wheys. 

[xhunterjx]

i would really love to hear some recordings of this genius.

oddly enough, so would i.

[thalbergmad]

Yeah man, go for the "Mossgory".

Do you mean the pikturrs atan exbidission?

[arbisley]

encore piece, hmm, should be short and fiery, but I haven't really played enough to know. Maybe rachmaninoff prelude in G minor would be good, No.5 from Op.23.
Just a suggestion

Thats possible.

I was also thinking Chopin's "Revolutionary" etude

[xhunterjx]

imbetterthenyou is so full of sh*t.

[counterpoint]

Mossgory(sp?): pictures at an exbidition

Oh, I thought "exbidition" is written with "p"   

After the "Great Reactor of Kiew" you could perhaps play Funeral March as encore  (the day after the firework)

[thalbergmad]

For an encore, how about the Dans Marcarber by Sant Swans.

Especially the horrorvitz version.

Or perhaps his take on the Rakkovschky Martch by List.

How about Mendelson, shoeman, or Bateoven

STop making fun of my bad grammar.

Good suggestions though

[thalbergmad]

STop making fun of my bad grammar.

Generally, you only need a capital letter for the first letter of a sentence.

Grammar has nothing to do with spelling names correctly.

[imbetter]

I have a new idea. I'm gonna take out the Waldstein and add a few Bach preludes and fuges.

[thalbergmad]

fuges.

 

[counterpoint]

fuges

 

I must say, fuges looks much more logical to me (german) than fugues
Fugue can sound very evil, if you pronounce it the wrong way

ok. now, you complain about the religion posts but you are all excited to go to a church to perform? explain!  Church is ok to use to perform but not for anything else?

[xhunterjx]

I am trying to figure out if iambetterthenyou is really an 11 year old that thinks he can play all of these things, or if he is an old senile man sitting in a nursing home getting caught up in his own lies.

[mad_max2024]

If you ever discover, be sure to let us know...

you make a good point!    I should start a new thread:    Who on this forum do you think it not really the age, ability or personality they claim to be.   I'm sure some people on here have made up their whole identity.    I can assure you I haven't, but like everyone else, you have to take my word for it.

Often the acoustics are sh*t in a church so it's not so ok to perform there, but in general I agree with your statement .

[jpianoflorida]

Often the acoustics are *** in a church so it's not so ok to perform there, but in general I agree with your statement .

i was just giving ihatepop a little harassment.    My church has great acoustics, but you are right, you never know.    My students are performing on weekends at our big art museum, the acoustics are unreal!   I have an amp for my electric piano, we had to unhook the amp.    it's loud when you barely turn up the piano.  amazing, but hard to adjust the sound!

I read this forum a lot but hardly post but I just have to ask . . . . is this guy for real? 
I've played the Waldstein and Pictures in one recital and I'll tell you, I was drained - and I was in my early 20's at the time  (also included 3 Brahms Intermezzi on same recital).  I don't know of an 11 yr old who could pass the stamina test and pull it off.  Just my opinion, mind you.

In a word... no
You should see the rest of the list he claims to be learning...

[brahms4me]

Saw it.  Understood.
Thanks.

[brahmsian]

That repertoire list is really old

How convenient...

[mad_max2024]

Actually he's right, the repertoire was at least 3 hours old judging by the time of the posts...
 
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally old
