recital order - help please!
on: January 12, 2007, 05:11:28 PM
I am playing a recital soon on the piano and I was wondering if anyone could help me put the pieces in order. The sort of title or theme is about 1890 - 1925 (not really sure what about this time period though, il think of that later). anyway, i am playing lots of little pieces:
Albeniez - Cadiz from Suite Espagnole
Debussy - Dr Gradus ad Parnassum, The Little Shepherd, Cakewalk from Children's corner
Granados - Andaluza
Jacques Ibert - Le petit ane blanc (the little white donkey)
Frank Bridge - Rosemary
feel free to split the Debussy up,
thanks in advance
also please dont tell me to cut any of them (because there is a minimum time limit)

Chronological seems to match the theme well.

thankyou for your suggestion.
That would put them in this order
- Albeniz
- Granados
- Bridge
- Debussy
- Ibert
however i am not sure ibert is a good one to end on..... and the two spanish pieces are then together.... hmmm!

Yea, go with the chronological order of the composers.
Although you might want to end out with a band, so add maybe an encore or two at the end, so finish off with this loud fireworks.
Logged
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro
Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

However, if you aren't able to do an encore, finish with something which will keep them humming it after it's finished, like the cakewalk.

I think chronological is the way to go, also to leave the Debussy together is good, because it will give the program an anchor, rather than one short piece randomly after another. How about calling it Fin de siecle Light Music.

thankyou all,
invictious unfortunately im not able to do a encore but i agree with henrah that there should be something good at the end... i could swap the ibert and debussy so that i would end with the cakewalk.
i had thought about something along the lines of "use of melody at the turn of the century"... bit heavy though!
