Gaspard or Debussy etudes? (or preludes or miroirs or jeux d'eau)
on: December 29, 2012, 07:29:35 PM
I'm wondering if it's better to play Gaspard de la nuit or debussy's etudes in a competition, because Gaspard is really difficult but overplayed and debussy's etudes are a little less difficult but probably less often played, as a set. Or should I just go with la valse which i believe is between the technical difficulty level of Gaspard and etudes.....or should I play jeux d'eaux?? (which is overplayed...)
I really want to learn Gaspard de la nuit though, I just don't want to be kicked out of the competition because the judges prefer someone else's interpretation -___-

If you want to learn Gaspard, then do it. The idea of learning something just to appeal to the jury of a competition seems ridiculous to me.

Well, I know, but I could also learn Gaspard later. This competition is in a couple of months.
