Piece for Opening of a new concert hall

[pianisten1989]

Hi!

I'll maybe play on a concert, as the subject describes, and I need some sort of flashy piece.
I don't want to play a chopin nocturne-ish piece, because... Well, I don't want to.

So have you guys any ideas? Like a hungarian rhapsody (Not 2 or 6 though) or something like that?

Thx

Are you playing by yourself?
Is it a full recital?
Is it a ceremony with just one piece being played?

It is very dfficult to give you any sort of suggestions when you aren't clear or don't provide sufficient information.

When is this concert?
How much time do you have to prepare?
Do you need to learn something new?
What's in your repetoire?
What level are you?

Once again, in order for us to give you any sort of meaningful feedback, you need to provide clear and specific information.

I know you'd need more information.
But the thing is, I don't if it's a solo recital and how long it would be.
I know it's in the autumn probably like october/september.

I have played the Schumann somphonic etudes, so you' probably say that I should play the last movement. But my hands are kind too small, so I need a back up plan if I don't find any good way of playing it. So I need no more than one piece. Not too long though: 5-7 minutes.

Earlier I've played the Waldstein sonata, L'isle joyeuse, Chopin etudes 10/8 and 10/12 among others.

And I want to learn something new, that's why I ask

This would probably be enough info..?

Thx

Sorry, 1 more question.  What grade are you roughly and how quickly do you learn??

Since you are looking for a technical show piece I recommend the following:

Mendelssohn Scherzo a capriccio or caprice op.5

Brahms variations on a Hungarian theme op.21 no.2

Liszt Hungarian rhapsody no.15

Balakirev Islamey

Alkan La Festin de Aesop

I hope this helps.

Liszt: Mephisto Waltz, Tarantelle, Paganini Etude No.6, Rigoletto Paraphrase

Chopin: Polonaise, Op. 53

Mendelssohn: Rondo Capriccioso

Schumann: "Abegg" Variations

[aslanov]

Ravel: Alborada Del Gracioso
Schubert: Impromptu No. 4 Op. 90, or No. 3
Rachmaninov: Prelude Op. 23 No. 3, or No. 5 if u want something popular
Chopin: Scherzo No. 1 or No. 2, Ballade No. 1 or No. 4

Good luck.

How about the Liszt 3rd Mephisto Waltz?
