Rep and Etude Books
on: May 05, 2013, 07:42:30 PM
I have been a jazz pianist for most of my playing career, and I'm starting to really focus on my college audition material. I am in need of some more heavily technical classical chops, though. What are some really good advanced repertoire and etude books that you guys use?
(I always try to be playing one concerto/solo piece alongside my jazz studies, but I need to start logging a lot more hours in classical work).

Not incredible. I just finished Romance in Db (Sibelius), and "Heroic" Polonaise No. 6 Op. 53 (Chopin)

If you can play the heroic polonaise that's pretty good.  You could try one of the Chopin Etudes, one of the later Beethoven sonatas or Beethoven's Appassionata.  Brahms Rhapsody in G minor is a good choice too.
