A Ravel program

[iumonito]

Prelude (not the one from Tombeau, but the other short one for the sight-reading competition)
Pavane pour une enfante defunte (sorry no accents handy)
Sonatine

***

Alborada del Gracioso
Entretiens de la belle et la bete
Valses Nobles et Sentimentales

Encores are surprise, but Ravel as well (a not too long awaker upper and a sleeper).

Interesting.... but wouldn't it be more fun to do all of Miroirs instead (and mabye leave out the Pavane and the Entretiens)?

Funny, because me and a friend at my school were talking about doing an all-Ravel program together just a few days ago. She has played Miroirs, I'm learning Gaspard, we've both done the sonatine a lot in concerts, and now she wants to learn Le Tombeau... after that, what do we have left for a concert with the complete Ravel solo repertoire? the valses nobles and smaller pieces which could be left out... it's all fantastic music.

I like your program but it seems a bit short for a concert. And Alborada is definately more effective as last piece than beginning second half - if you do Alborada justice, people will really want encores, no doubt.

Yeah. La Valse for you two.  You can eve play it together.

I like the concept of finishing the recital softly and that it is not too long, so what I get from your comment is that this has the intended effect.

I am cooking other projects, so this one may be a two-year project for me.  Say July 14, 2009.

Want to do a duel for then?
