Recital
on: August 25, 2010, 02:24:58 AM
Hi,

I am a second year university student, I am in Bachelor of Music program, piano performance.

Unfortunately my school only let official recitals starting 3rd year.
I thought - life is short, I want to do it while I can.

So since I am doing recital on my own, I pretty much can pick any program I want for the recital.


At first I was hoping to do a "Ravel Concert", since I am a huge fan of his.

I don't want my recital to be boring and monotonous, so I would like to play contrasting pieces by Ravel.
I have couple pieces in mind but I just need different opinions on how various works could be even if written by the same composer.


Thanks
 =)

When it is played by 16 year-olds then the piece is really something else...it sounds like a crap! >:(
