Audition Repetoire

[swenghk]

Hello, everyone! I will be auditioning for various colleges and conservatories this upcoming fall, and I would like your honest opinions on these pieces that I may be performing:
     1. Bach Prelude and Fugue in C minor [Book 1]

     2. Beethoven Sonata Op. 90 No. 27

     3. Chopin Fantasy Op. 49 or Heroic Polonaise

     4. Khachaturian Toccata or Schoenberg Six Little Pieces

Also, I will have been taking piano for 2 years at the time of my audition. But I don't want to imply that I'm a beginner by this. I have been told that I learn very rapidly and I've already won 1st place in a piano competition play the Op. 10 No. 12 Revolutionary Etude by Chopin. Do you think the colleges and conservatories will take my length of study into consideration when I audition? Thank you immensely for your help!

Can anyone offer any advice?

so wait, what? You've been playing for 2 years, and already master the fantasy and the beethoven?!

No they, most of the time, doesn't think about your previous study. Then anyone could fake that they have been playing for shorter time than they have.

The pieces are fine, if you can play them. If you can't play them well, play something easier...

[swenghk]

Which would be better though? The Polonaise and Six Little Pieces? Or the Fantasy and Toccata?

[pianisten1989]

The ones that shows your strengths the best way..

[swenghk]

For some odd reason, I never even thought of that... I've just been so caught up in what's the hardest? What do they want? Thank you immensely pianisten1989!

They rather want you to play something a bit easier, but which you can play very well, than some really difficult stuff that you can't play very well...
