Suggestions for another piece
on: January 16, 2008, 04:54:07 AM
Hey,
I am getting my year's repertoire for a year end recital and I am looking for a final piece to add to the programme. Right now I have:

-Scarlatti, Sonatas K141 and K175
-Mozart, Piano Concerto no.21
-Schumann, Papillons
-Ravel, Jeux d'eau
-Jacques Hétu, Variations

I was wondering if any one had any suggestions for another piece to add.
I don't think I have time to learn a very large scale work, like a full sonata. But It would be good to find a piece that represents another 'style' or period of music. I like almost every style of music, though I have to say I am not a fan of Haydn or Brahms style of music.
Any suggestion are great.

Thanks!

Albeniz - something from Suite Espanola

Couperin

Messiaen

Ornstein - Suicide in an Airplane

Kapustin - an etude?

Medtner - a fairy tale?

Smetana - a polka?

Southam - one of the Glass Houses?

A Bach transcription?
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

 i like the suggestions by quantum and must second a particular one: messiaen. that's the year to play his music, what about a regard?
 another possibility is early music: fitzwilliam virginal book, german (froberger, buxtehude) or french keyboardists (couperin, chambonnieres). there are many interesting works to play.

Hey-- It seems like you've already covered all the major periods of music... Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, and 20th Century.

If you're looking for something short, maybe you should take a look at Rachmaninoff Preludes (neo-Romantic) or something by Gershwin.

Also, maybe if you want, you can include a late-classical, early Romantic composer, like Beethoven or Schubert.

Hope that helps!

How about a Chopin Waltz or a couple of mazurkas?
