This semester's repetoire..
on: August 18, 2009, 05:41:21 AM
I'm having trouble picking out a piece from a 20th Century Modern composer, but here's what I have picked out so far..

Baroque: Bach - Invention No. 4
Romantic: Grieg - Watchman's Song (Lyric piece)

As far as 20th Century composers go - not sure if I want to play Bartok again. The pieces I've looked at throw tonality out the window and I've played some of his pieces before (not that I have a complete problem with that - I also like Liszt's Gray Clouds). I've also played Carlo Menotti - Winter Wind, and Satie - Gymnopodie no. 1. I'm thinking about playing no. 3, but I'm not sure. It would improve my hand leaping skills even more. I've also played a Bach Invention too, but I played no. 1 in C. I learned so much just from playing that one, that others look tempting as well.

If you guys have any suggestions or tips on learning these pieces or suggestions on a piece from a Modern composer feel free to drop a line. I'm not sure what level I'm at, but my teacher suggested I'm at an intermediate level - probably 3-5.
