Tchaikovsky-Pletnev

[pianowelsh]

Dear All,

I have reccently aquired the concert suites of the Nutcracker and Sleeping beauty by Pletnev.. I have a student who is looking to take an LRSM...do people think that the Adagio from sleeping beauty is suitably taxing enough to go down as an off-list choice at this level... I'd say so myself - certainly if a good level of performance is achieved. I enclose a link for those possibly not that familiar with the work.

[pianowelsh]

really - noone knows this piece??? I'm surprised!!

[dnephi]

I think it'd be very difficult.  I think it'd be taxing enough, although I'm not familiar with the RSM system.

[pianowelsh]

thanks for that Dnephi.  For anyone else who is unsure... LRSM requires a 40 =/- 10 mins recital.  Upto one 3rd of platform time may be taken off list ...ie something not on their actual listings...which I enclose here:
