Picking a Piano Concerto
on: April 23, 2013, 02:24:31 AM
Hello,
I am interested in learning a piano concerto for a competition. The question is, which one? I have thought of a set list:
Saint-Saëns PC 5 2nd or 3rd mvt
Saint-Saëns African Fantasy
Liszt Totentanz
Liszt PC 1
Liszt PC 2
Mozart PC 20 1st mvt
Mozart PC 24 3rd mvt
Mendelssohn PC 1 3rd mvt
Beethoven PC 3 1st mvt
Rubinstein PC 4 1st or 3rd mvt
I really want to learn the Saint-Saëns 5, but I want to learn the 2nd mvt a little more than the 3rd. Is this a good selection?
Thanks!

What? You can do a whole Liszt concerto but only have time for a single movement of a Mozart one?
Check the rules of the competition, refine your list accordingly, and then come back to us.
For the record, a whole piece is (if possible) better than an excised and orphaned movement.
