A. Scriabin - Album Leaf (can't remember the opus number)
                - Etude Op. 2 No. 1

F. Chopin - from Etudes Op. 10
                        No. 3 Lento ma non troppo
                        No. 4 Presto

                         Des Abends
                         Aufschwung

L. van Beethoven - Sonata quasi una fantasia Op. 27 No. 2


this all with a bit of speeches in between concerning the works and the composers' lives?



any comments appreciated...

Isn't that a bit short for a recital ?

[ayahav]

it's a short notice thing, so i'll be lecturing as well in between pieces, about why bach wrote the wtc, and who scriabin was, and schumann's love for clara, and all the 'gossip' about the composers....

- you must also remember that this is a non-musical audience.. I'm just playing so that people pay money, 100% of which is donated to WIZO.

It looks good.

But since you will be lecturing (good idea ), would it not be better to play the pieces in historical order?

And out of curiosity, have you planned any encores? (a nice contrasting one would be Villa Lobos Polichinelo - I know you play it - modern and non-European)

Good luck,
Bernhard.

I don't want them in Historical order... because of the way I have to play them at my audition (i've added extra thing in between audition pieces here, but the pieces for the audition stay in order....)

I was thinking precisely that for an encore, and if I need a second one, there's a beautiful toccata by an argentinian composer called Tauriello..

[bernhard]

Do you play the original version, or the Rubinstein one (with the glissando at the end)?
