Entertaining and Impressive Pieces
on: October 22, 2010, 07:32:28 AM
I have a competition coming up where I am to play a solo piece for piano. I was wondering what was the forums thoughts on impressive and entertaining solo pieces. The crowd will not all be familiar with Classical music, so the piece i need to play needs to entertain them as well. What pieces can you suggest?
Skill isnt a whole lot of an issue, I'm not a professional, but aim to be. Last year for this competition I played La Campanella and won, if that gives an indication of skill level.
I have my own ideas about what i would like to play but if you guys could broaden my perspective that would be great.

I mentioned this in another thread, but Palmgren's "En Route" is always good. It's simple but sounds tough, it's really fun to play and listen to, and no one has really heard it so it will be new yet accepted by all.
