[jlh]

Related to ameliaw's thread about your 1st concerto, this thread is for the concerto that you have most recently learned and/or performed.  If you have not yet learned/played a concerto, please post in the other thread. 

I'll go first:

I most recently re-learned Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto for a competition this summer.


Josh 

[soliloquy]

Beethoven No. 3

Don't do many concerti or much chamber music so just filling out some common rep stuff


Plan to do Dusapin's A Quia next though.

[arensky]

Mozart #24 in c minor K.491, 15 months ago.

No concerti on the horizon for me, I'm focusing on solo lit.

[prongated]

Emperor half a year ago. Rach 3 for same competition next year.

[burstroman]

Max Reger Concerto

[Pumkinhead]

I competed with Tchaikovsky 1 during the school year, but I'm planning on two easier works to finish in the same amount of time this year. Rhapsody in Blue and the Ravel G Major.

[teresa_b]

Beethoven 4 (chamber version).   Now working on Mozart 9 (K271)

[thalbergmad]

I is learning the Pixis Concerto.

Absolute delight.

Thal

[fnork]

Well... I was working on Rachmaninoffs 2nd concerto earlier this summer, focusing on the first movement though but learned most of the 2nd movement too. After that, I started learning Ravels left-hand concerto which is almost memorized but which I had to put aside since I have to have a onehour+ program ready for a competition in Rome in October, so I'll continue the Ravel concerto after that. and then hopefully enter the schools concerto competition around februar next year

[retrouvailles]

Good one.

My most recent concerto is the Arensky fantasia on russian folksongs.

Of course. I didn't think anyone here would actually learn it though. I mean, is it really worth the trouble? I have never seen much in it.

it is a chinese piece written to depict the 2nd world war with japan... maybe as an absolute concerto, it's just a flourish of fast notes and thundering octaves. But if you do understand the background and circumstances where it is written, it is actually a very touching piece of music....

[thalbergmad]

The delete concerto, i have never heard of that one.

Is it any good??

My most recent concerto is the Griffin 3rd.

Thal

[pmz310]

Just finished Grieg, now working on Chopin, then either Brahms 1 or 2, or rach 1

[thierry13]

You are, my friend, absolutely crazy.

[retrouvailles]

Either he is crazy, or he is not doing a satisfactory job on it. Or maybe both. Or maybe he is completely capable of it. Who knows? Until we hear a recording, that is.

[gruffalo]

he didnt say whether he has started work on the Brahms or when he will. just said that it would be his next to learn after the chopin.

[dave santino]

Mozart No. 23 in A mjaor K.488 and Shostakovich 2 for my finals

[teresa_b]

Performed Mozart 9 in April (which I posted in Audition room and got 0 responses!    ), and now working on Bach F minor and Mozart G major for next spring.

i might've listened part of it. if i remember correctly, i was impressed with your sound, i.e. clear n pearly which is very suitable for mozart. well-done! tds

Hey, Thanks!  (I thought nobody cared  )  It is very long, so I suspect people didn't want to take that much time to listen, which is understandable.  (Would you mind terribly posting your comment on the thread in Audition Room? )

Teresa

[tds]

see if i can find the thread. tds

[kiwi_bd]

mozart piano concerto no. 20....
that's surely a nice piece....
but definitely a tragedy to learn LOL...

[franzliszt2]

Just performed Grieg....will perform Prok 1 in July, so I guess I'll have to start learning that.

Will probably start Sharwenka 4th after Prok 1 for October competition

[imbetter]

grieg

[point of grace]

Most recently learnt and performed: tchaikovsky 1st

coming up soon: yellow river concerto... anybody heard of this one?

where can i get an online version of that piano concerto!?!?!?

[ryanyee]

bach bwv1052,1055/6, cant remember, bwv1060/1,bwv 1064. i see that no one here has tried playing a bach concerto yet. probably the easiest ones among all of these concertos though.

[silverangel]

At the moment, playing Ravel's Concerto for piano in E major.  I'm still a bit tentative, so it's going slower than my usual speed.

[thorn]

the Barber piano concerto a few months ago

it was pretty difficult, but definately worth it

[pianorin]

I want to play Rach2 but no guts to learn it.
Many say it's hard and so on..
but i really love it!!
I know the melody of the whole concerto very well because it's so beautifully written.

[rachmaninova]

Going to study Beethoven's 3rd very soon (another one amongst the millions who studied it)...
I'd like to try Penderecki's after that... (I'm more active on chamber music)

[eddie54]

about to finish chopin piano concerto no 1, e minor.....very dear to my heart, and will be performing it with my college orchestra (grad student but not in music, lol) come late summer.....

[chozart]

Bach d minor, for a comp at college. I absolutely love it

[teresa_b]

Well, here's another Bach.  Now learning Bach F Minor (1056) and reprising Mozart G Major (K453) for next spring.  LOVE the fact that this Bach concerto is ony 10 minutes in toto! 

Teresa

[tompilk]

k453 is a wonderful piece... i think i might learn that as my first concerto...

[teresa_b]

k453 is a wonderful piece... i think i might learn that as my first concerto...

Do!!!    It is not as technically difficult as some of the other Mozart ones, and it is just beautiful.

Teresa

[adieu to the piano]

My last concert was in the House of the Culture (Leσn) the past week, i play lilium and a Minuet of Bach.

[general disarray]

k453 is a wonderful piece... i think i might learn that as my first concerto...

teresa is soooo right!  great piece.  tackle it.

[say, tompilk, in my lurking days on this forum I thought I read that you were working on Mendelsshohn "Variations Serieuses"?  How'd that go for you?]

back on topic:  I'm doing Rach2 with a fellow pianist for a local fund-raiser gala.  small potatoes, but I'm nervous all the same.

[eyeballnick]

Shostakovich no.1 in F major
