Your Repertoire
on: June 02, 2007, 02:54:26 AM
I saw this topic dated 2004 and it seems pretty interesting so i decided to post a new one.

So what is YOUR repertoire ?
What are all the pieces that you can remember you have played?
It would be quite interesting.
You might like to tell us your age....and then tell us when or what age you where when u learnt so and so piece...in a choreography way...
Or you might like to list them under different composers.
Then you might also include how long you have been playing the instrument, how hard you found the pieces then and now, what problems you had...etc,etc....

At the moment, my rep is pitiful as i am lazy:

Hunten - Les Emeraudes
Pixis - Caprice Brilliant
Friedman-Gartner - Wiener Tanz No's 1 & 2
Fumagelli - Bellini - Cata Diva from Norma - (left hand)

The last one is not completely in the bag yet.

wiener tanz?  what kind of a piece is that?  nevermind.  did your teacher assign these?   ::)

ok.  i've been assigning my own pieces:

chopin etude opus 10 #1
chopin nocturne opus 9 #1
chopin fantasie in f-minor opus 49
leroy anderson's pc

my other rep is too extensive to list - and all but forgotten.  i mean- i can play the first pages of most everything.  up to speed?  i think i'd need a few weeks.

the fantasie in f-minor is very intrueging to me.  i heard it many years ago - and how it all melds together - it seems to me to be the most coherent thing that chopin wrote.  everything logically fits - and yet is very romantic, too.  i consider it a chopin style beethoven.  logical, beautiful, and still romantic.

So what is YOUR repertoire ?

Well, I was updating my repertoire list the other night, which now runs to four pages of _very_ closely typed word-processor document. About 1200 songs, 50 substantial chamber works (sonatas for various instruments and piano, trios etc.) and more short pieces than I can keep track of, 4 or 5 piano concertos, a rather random and bizarre selection of solo piano stuff, and about 40 operas. At a rough estimate about 300 hours of music.

I guess among that lot what I'm proudest of is the stuff that's seldom performed but which I regard as important repertoire - in no particular order; songs by Pizzetti and Ronald Stevenson, chamber works by Alan Bush, clarinet sonatas by Guastavino and Castelnuovo-Tedesco, works in all genres by Coleridge-Taylor, etc.

I guess I can't be the only repetiteur/accompanist here!

Just a questiion. If you can play chopin's 4th ballade, wouldn't one asume that you should at leats have played around 100 more pieces thna what is listed? Repertoire list is of course something difficult to talk about. Are these pieces you have played in public, pieces you are proud of or all of the pieces you have ever learned?

i'd like to hear that barber interlude sometime!

randomly i'll just start listing things.  in no particular order.  just what comes to mind.

saint-saens - allegro appassionata, toccata (that was fun)
bartok - suite opus 14
brahms - intermezzo opus 118 #2 (but can play several others)
beethoven - about three major ones - but, the two best - the tempest and the waldstein.  would like to learn one of the latter ones - but not a lot of internal motivation.
bach - a lot of preludes and fugues and the english suite.
scarlatti- sonatas K9 and K119
granados - spanish dances (3 of them - but sightread several more)
barber - nocturne (not quite performance level yet)
faure - 4th nocturne and his theme and variations.  fingered the theme and variations myself (i might add).
chopin - a few preludes
one etude
learning currently opus 10#1
fantasie in f-minor
liszt - un sospiro,  4th ballade
(also worked a ballade of chopin - they're fantastic)
mozart fantasy in c-minor - and random sonatas
leroy anderson's pc
wilhelm kempff's bach transcriptions and a few of liszts prelude/fugue transcriptions.  (not performance - but just for fun).

when i was younger i played for swing choirs, concert choirs, church choirs. etc etc.  then, later i joined a master chorale and was a section accompanist.  we went through the german requiem of brahms and verdi requiem.  it was eyeopening to read something other than handel's messiah - of which i had played a lot.  and also, we went through beethoven's 9th.  i learned a fantastic piano arrangement of that.

I am 17 and have been playing for 4 years now. These pieces have all been learned (or are being learnt) with my new teacher, of whom I have been a student of since last August. I have learned other pieces before then, but do not consider them "properly learned" after realizing the major differences between my previous teacher and my new one (examples of such pieces would be Grieg's Wedding Day at Troldhaugen and Debussy's Passepied)

My repetoire since last August:

Scarlatti      Sonata in a minor, K. 54 ~ L. 241

Bach      Prelude and Fugue No. 6 in D minor, BWV 875, Bk II
      Prelude and Fugue No. 2 in C minor, BWV 871, Bk II (learning)

Beethoven   Sonata Op, 10, no. 1 (complete)
      Sonata Op. 10, No. 3 (learning)

Chopin      Mazurka in C Major, Op. 67, No. 3
         Waltz in Eb Major, Op. 18
         Etude in Gb Major, Op. 25, No. 9- "Butterfly" (learning)

Ginastera      Danzas Argentinas, Op. 2- II. Danza de la moza donosa

Rahbee      Prelude, Op. 87, No. 3- "Celebration"

Wang      Sunflower

B'Racz      Ghost Etude

I have a strange repertoire at the moment.  But then again, I'm a pretty odd person.

Corigliano - Etude Fantasy
Gounod/Liszt - Valse de Faust
Scarlatti - K.144 "Toccata"
Prokofiev - Concerto no.2 (1st mov)

And then my more obscure rep:
Gao Hong - Flying Dragon
Dir en Grey - Namemekashi Ansoku, Tamerai no Hohoemi
Malice Mizer - "merveilles" (10 mov. arrangment)
Minako Tokuyama - Musica Nara for Piano
Kurtag - Selections from "Jatekok"

I just turned 15, and I just got done with school so that's why my rep is so small and insignificant.

I've been waiting for you to post this, RDS. ;)
For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

Pixis             Caprice on Robert le Diable
         

Only guessing, but you might be the only one here who plays that.

Your continued efforts with some of the lesser known composers, is entirely refreshing.

Stravinsky Petroushka

Romeo and Juliet complete -Prokofiev
Liszt Paganini etude no. 6

Doing some big competitions...do people think playing two ballet transcriptions is strange?  Prokofiev and Stravinsky?

Thanks, I hope to have a decent quality recording of it in a couple of months or so.

P.S. It's a lot easier than adding Hexameron to my repertoire  ;)

I like Grieg.  One time I was riding in a helicopter, and I thought Grieg's piano concerto, second movement, would have been so excellent as a sound track.  Instead, they made me wear headphones playing what sounded like video game music from the early 80s.

I'm certainly going to learn it one day! Actually, I've been talking with a friend about how awesome it would be to do the whole suite someday, but she's very busy right now preparing for a national competition, so I would have to wait until after that... actually, the tarantella doesn't look too bad - in the romance, you have to be a bit sensitive, but you can pretty much bang your way through the tarantella! ;D just kidding, hehe :)
