[rhapsody in orange]

Hello! does anyone have any performance notes/advices with regards to the following pieces?
 
mendelssohn serieuses variations op 54 in d minor
chopin etude op 10. no. 8
beethoven sonata in f minor op2 no1
bach prelude and fugue in d minor (wtc)
 
currently working on them for an audition and guess i should read up on them so i can improve on my playing. if anyone has any advice to offer you're most welcome.

I would just plug each title into Google and see what comes up. I did that for the Beethoven Op. 26 and found a wonderful website that included not only program notes on all the Beethoven Sonatas but performances of all of them on streaming audio. (BTW, if anyone is curious the url for that site is https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/classical/pizarro/.

You need to be much more specific in your question.  If you want to improve your playing and are having difficulties, then you need to be much  more specific in your question.

Hmm. The Mendelssohn Variations, I seem to have a problem in bringing out the musicality of the theme. It is somewhat like a 4 part invention, and sometimes when I try to bring out the top voice (the melody so to speak) and soften the rest of the chord, some notes tend to disappear or the chord will not sound together. Any suggestions how to do this?
