Chopin Etudes

[diabola]

I am going to audition for the University of British Columbia piano major soon and as one of it's requirement, it asks for a virtuoso etude. I am wondering if people can tell me if the chopin etude op.10 no.9 count as a virtuoso etude?


Thanks in advance~

Any of the Chopin will count, I'm sure. They just want to be sure you don't turn up with Hanon or Burgmüller or something aimed fair and square at the average 10-year-old.

Yep i agree, Any chopin etude will be sufficiant for the university. As Diabola says, its just to make sure you dont bring along beginner etudes or anything. As well as chopin, look at Scriabin and Liszt

[healdie]

the stravisnky etudes would be impressive so check them out as well

As you may probably already know Chopin's Op.10 Études are listed in the Concert Études section of the RCM requirements for the ARCT examination.

Good luck in your audition.

No and not that much but I suggest that you must ask loonbohol who calims to be the best bragger at pianostreet

To my knowledge, any of the Chopin études suffice for this except 10/3, 10/6, and 25/7.

Best,

I second that. I mean, the guy's as good as Liszt!
