Junior recital...
on: May 10, 2008, 02:54:29 AM
I'm giving a junior recital in December and here's what I've got planned so far:
Bach, Prelude and Fugue in f# minor, book I
Beethoven, Op. 78
Liebermann, Gargoyles

I need one other piece, or group of pieces, anywhere between five and fifteen minutes long.  I was thinking Ravel's "Une barque" maybe?  Any suggestions?

I think this thread should be deleted, it's really pointless.

Yeah, we don't want any pointless threads, esp on the Anything But board.

Edit:   !!!  But it's not on the Anything But board.  The original poster could move it down there.  It shouldn't be up here for sure.  You can move your posts.

I think you should do your own reduction of Prokofiev's 2nd piano concerto for solo piano as an encore.  It'll really go over well.
For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

I am fond of the Ravel -  why not pick one or two more from the Miroirs to make a set?

Yes, I think this is what I'll do.  I'm crazy about the first three.  Anyway, I read some old posts of yours... have you played all of the liebermann gargoyles?  How were they received?  Do you like to perform them, etc.?

I learned the first and third for undergrad auditions, and would like to learn the other two at some point.  I played these at my HS senior recital as well, and I felt that they went over pretty well with a mixed audience (no. 3 is so beautiful!).

What fingering did you use for the first one at measures twelve and thirteen?  and the similar passage at the end of the piece?  I think I've got this set sorted except for that one passage.  Thanks a lot for your previous posts, btw!

Alas, I no longer have the score, and can't remember!  If you send me a PDF, I could tell you though.

I don't remember for certain, but I suppose I would take the first septuplet in one hand with a thumb crossing, then pass between the hands every three notes or so.

Okay - not at the piano, but I think I would use (alternating R-L)

Thank you so much!  I don't have a piano at my place... but that makes a lot of sense.  I was alternating each group between the right and left hands.  Thanks again.
