Repertoire

[dapianoman32]

Hi,

I have been playing piao for 12 years and am currently trying to decide which pieces I should learn this up coming year to try and get into a music college for piano. 

My piano teacher suggested choosing from these pieces
-Bartok- the Barber excursions
-Liszt- Liebestraume no. 3 or a Hungarian Rhapsody or the Bells of Geneva from the Years of Pilgramage
-Bach- Prelude and Fugue Book 1- 6 or 15

Last year I played Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, Mvt. 1 from Beethoven's Wladstein (I'm learning the rest of it this year), Gershwins Preludes, and also a Prelude and Fugue.

Any favorites or suggestions from anyone as to what I should learn???

if your going with a list rhapsody DEFINITELY the 12th is the one to try out. its fantastic

Maybe the first movement of the appassionata or 32nd sonata.

Chopin etudes: try winter wind (23) and ocean (24)
or maybe a rachmaninov etude or prelude, i really like op. 39 no. 1, and for prelude you could give op. 33 no. 4(or 5, depends on which previous preludes u count) in d minor i believe it is

or you could go a not so typical route and try a movement of a medtner sonata, i really like the second movement of the sonata romantica

or rachmaninov's 4th musical moment, its brilliant musically and technically

lastly, a schubert impromptu (4th op. 90)
