Chopin and Beethoven - good companions in concert?

on: December 23, 2008, 05:48:12 AM

Hi guys, i just want your opinion on this. There's a talent show coming up and I'd like to play 2 pieces for a total length of about 10 min.

Do you think Chopin Etude 10 no 1 and Beethoven Moonlight's 3rd movement would go well together ? one thing that bugs me is that they are both very fast. Perhaps having a "relaxed" tempo piece with either of these two is more convenient?

Cheers

they beethovens a good one but i'd do a more lyrical piece of chopin to set up for the beethoven such as op.10 no.3 for example.

Actually, after reading your comment I played both of them at once, having both of them saved on my computer in MIDI and mp3 format. They actually, in most parts, compliment each other quite nicely.
