Competition repertoire

on: July 16, 2009, 04:13:04 AM

One round of this competition is max 45 minutes of any rep. Played equally well, do you think a jury would rather hear a performance of Bach partita #2 and gaspard (plus something to fill some time) or a performance of Schubert's D960?

I think Schubert D958 is more apt as a competition piece.

I would definatly go with the Bach and Ravel. It gives the jury more variety and it shows more of your skills as a pianist.
