Repertoire for gigs
on: January 14, 2012, 06:22:36 AM
Hi,
I am a primarily a harpist, but do some free-lancing on piano.
I currently have a restaurant gig and am looking for advice/ideas on good repertoire.
What types of music do you all use? Any specific ideas of relatively easy music that would be appropriate for this setting?
I started out with some Bach and several easier Chopin waltzes I had learned several years prior.
Shorter pieces seem to be better (i.e. not playing a full Beethoven Sonata movement), but I'm not sure where exactly to look for good music.
Thanks!

Some easier Debussy might be good. Claire de Lune and Arabesque no 1 come to mind. Gymnopédie No.1 by Erik Satie would work. Also, check out the album "Two Hands" by Leon Fleisher. Just about any of those pieces would be good.
