I was thinking for applying for Piano Summer at New Paltz next year and one of the requirements is to play a piano concerto. I'm going to consult my teacher about this as well but I was wondering what some of your opinions are. I obviously can't play something like Brahms or Rachmaninoff as that is a bit out of my range and something that's not too overplayed either such as Grieg. Anybody have any ideas? I would list some of my thoughts but I know you guys and you'll say that it has too many music traps for me lol.

I love the Saint-Saens No.5 the Egyptian, I'm learning it at the moment
