Bach busoni chaconne
on: July 07, 2013, 06:26:09 AM
So two main questions
Would this be appropriate for college auditions?
And what period would this go into?!?
Just here to lurk and cringe at my old posts now.

Sometimes piano competitions don't like transcriptions/arrangements, but auditions may be different.

And it is most definitely romantic. It is a romantic piece based off a baroque piece.

My teacher doesn't want me to audition with liszt TE 8 because its too risky. So I'm trying to find a replacement. I think I may have found "the one"
