show piece

[el nino]

so. hello. well. i need a show piece for next year,something like very attractive. somethnig not longer than 10 minutes or so. thank's in advance.

[prongated]

...is it murder to say Liszt's Rigoletto Paraphrase here?

It has nice musical content, shows off fingers, is not very long and is extremely effective. The sort of piece that can shroud lack of musicality IMO...

...yes I don't quite like it [esp. when played in comps I'm also in] because I don't have much in the way of fingers

[invictious]

Any Liszt Hungarian hapsodies will do fine..

or His aratella.
