wedding recital
on: April 06, 2007, 04:32:08 AM
I have to give a recital at the reception of a wedding.  I can't decide how to arrange the program
at the moment it's
The Man I love
Embraceable you (in my own sort of virtuosic arrangement)
Fantasie Impromptu (of course....)

I was thinking of the Chopin in between the 2 Gershwin's but that would be an odd jump back and forth.  Possibly the order I listed above or Chopin then the 2 Gershwin's.
any thoughts
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

I don't know anything about programming so I can't really help you there, although the way you listed sounds fine to me. But I love those songs, especially Embraceable you (sung by Sinatra!). If you make a random boot I'd love to hear it.

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.
