Beethoven or Liszt

on: May 11, 2013, 06:48:47 AM

I am preparing for some competitions and am looking at some piano concertos. The choices right now are Totentanz (Liszt) or 3rd movement of Concerto No. 5, "Emperor" (Beethoven). I know my technical (and hopefully musical) abilities are definitely there, as I have played/am playing numerous difficult pieces (including Mazeppa, Alborada del graziosos, and Waldstein) and have won competitions with the above-mentioned pieces. However, I am hesitating between the two. My question is: Which is more suited for competitions? Thank you.
