Concert Piece
on: January 08, 2008, 11:26:37 PM
I am looking for a concert piece to do in a concert coming up in about 2 weeks. I just finnished my Level 9 Concervatory test a month ago. Can anyone give me some help on a piece to choose?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...that's a little vague:  can you elaborate on what kind of concert and what kind of piece you're generally looking for (e.g., long, fast, virtuosic, etc.) and your favorite composers and some of your past repertoire?. 

Two weeks is kinda short notice too :o:   I'd dust something off or, more preferably, go with something already firmly in my fingers rather than try to learn something new and get it to performance level in 2 weeks. 

What does your teacher suggest?.....

Good Luck in any event! :D

Two weeks??  If I were you, I'd improvise something and attribute it to Tcherepnin.  If they want more info, tell them it's out of print and the neighbor's dog ate your score last night.

I agree with the others, use something you already know.  2 weeks is short time.
