Competition Repertoire
on: August 16, 2011, 01:32:36 AM
I live in India, and there is a Piano Competition coming up in November. I'm taking part in the intermediate level competition. Please suggest a good repertoire for me. (Pieces should be around 4-11 minutes long)
Baroque- 3 pieces
Classical - 3 pieces
Romantic 3 pieces
Modern (20th century, including Prokofiev or Rachmaninoff)- 2 pieces.

Baroque - Bach's Chromatic fantasy and fugue in d, Preludes and fugues...

Classic - Mozart variations or fantasie? or Beethoven, Appasionata 3rd mov etc...

Romantic - Chopin's Etude(your choice) some piece by him? waltz, polonaise, prelude?
                Liszt Etude UN SOSPIRO - thats the real piece for the recital ;)
                 Schumann Papillions or Carnaval
