Concerto Competition: Barber or Rach 4?

on: August 02, 2007, 03:38:46 PM

If they were both played well, which of these concertos do you think would prevail in a piano concerto competition?

Depends on where you're playing the competition.

in America or Japan or China, the Barber. In Europe they seem to consistently prefer more conservative repertoire choices, so probably the Rach.

Then I guess 1st prize would be a tie and they would split it?
