Sonata recommendation for college audition
on: February 28, 2010, 07:21:16 PM
Hi!
I am going to be auditioning for college piano performance major next Feb. (2011). A complete sonata by Beethoven, Haydn, or Mozart (excluding Opus 49, K. 282, 331, and 545) is required. I've learned pathetique 2nd mov and half of the 1st mov and moonlight 1st mov. Can anyone suggest me a sonata that is fairly easy and impressive that I would be able to learn and memorize in about a year. Or should I just keep at the pathetique and learn the rest of the 1st and start the 3rd movement?? Also when it says major and minor scales, do they mean harmonic minor or natural or melodic??

Thanks

I'd say go with what you know, if you feel you don't have time to learn anything else.
