Beethoven, Mozart or Schubert?
on: June 13, 2009, 08:09:42 AM
I'm preparing for an exam soon, and my teacher and I are deciding on my repertoire...
She gave me a selection of pieces to choose from for 'List B' in the exam (I take AMEB examinations), and I'm having trouble picking one because I really don't have a very broad musical knowledge
So here are the pieces that she told me to have a look at (I have recordings and the sheet music for them as well). I was hoping that if you know them/have played them before, could you please give some of your thoughts on the piece?
Beethoven Sonatas
Op. 2 No. 2 - 4th Movement
Op. 7 - 4th Movement
Op. 10 No. 2 - 1st Movement
Op. 22 - 1st Movement OR 4th Movement
Op. 28 - 1st Movement
Op. 31 No. 1 - 1st Movement
Op. 78 - 1st Movement
Mozart
K 284 (Dmajor) - 1st Movement OR last movement
K 310 - 1st Movement
K 331 - 1st Movement
K 332 - 3rd Movement
K 494 - Rondo
Schubert
D 784 - Op. 143 - 3rd Movement
Thanks in advance

From those u listed
I'd say try the 16th beethoven sonata, that first movement is quite fun to learn and play
and if i make a suggestion try an op. 2 no. 1 movement, especially the last, its quite difficult and fun, or u could try the first movement.
and as for the mozart, i'd go with the K331 first movement

Hi, I did the 1st movt of Mozart K331 for grade 8 AMEB last year. Good for increasing control on the piano, beautiful piece!

@ aslanov && kyliec
Yeah, the Mozart - K331 is really nice. I love the variations
Even though Mozart pieces are generally 'easy' to sightread, they're so challenging once you get into them ...
@ communist
I really like the Beethoven Op. 28, but I'm torn between that one and the Op. 10 No. 2 (1st movement)
Thanks for the suggestions
They've really helped me narrow everything down. If anyone has any more ideas, they'd be much appreciated

Just throwing this out there, but really have a listen to the op. 31 no. 1
and i think youtube has a masterclass on it with Barenboim. you just might change your mind.

I'm torn between everything now
I wish I could just play them all, someday I'll learn them...
But for now I think I'll just stick with the Mozart K331, it's starting to grow on me a bit
Thanks for all your suggestions!

Hi!
The Rondo F major is beautiful, I haven't played it, but I've listened and I really love it.
Well, of course, to this moment you've alredy presented your exam.
I hope you don't get mad, but, Could you send me the sheets from the Rondo F major K 494 from Mozart? I've looking for it for a long time. It would be wonderful to play it.
Please! I'll be very greatful!!
