University of Washington audition repertoire
on: December 17, 2007, 04:32:47 AM
I have an audition coming up at the University of Washington, and I'm hoping to get some advice on what to play. Here are the requirements:
"Piano: UNDERGRADUATE: Performance Major 3 compositions (Bach, Classical, Romantic/Contemporary):
1) Bach: Any Prelude and Fugue from W.T.C. I or II or movements from a Suite or Partita, or the Italian Concerto.
2) Any first movement from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven sonatas (except the following: Beethoven Sonatas, Op. 49, Nos. 1 and 2.
3) Romantic or Contemporary work, preferably of virtuosic nature. NOTE: Pieces must be memorized." [total time for all pieces must be no more than 15 minutes]
Being a big fan of Chopin, I'll have no problem choosing a piece for the 3rd requirement, but I'm not too sure about the first two, as I have not played enough Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven to really know what is best for an audition (I suspect they will want something more impressive than Mozart's Sonata in C or the moonlight sonata...). Currently for Bach I'm considering the 2nd French Suite- it this okay? Would appreciate suggestions.

Which Mozart piano sonata in C major? you don't need to play a ver impressive sonata, as long as you are comfortable and can play what you've learnt well that should be fine.
yeah, i would'nt reccomend Moonlight sonata. It's overplayed
The french suite should be fine.
