Recital Repertoire

[piano1993]

Hello everyone, I am working on putting together a senior recital. After a lot of back and forth these are my thoughts on a program.

1. Beethoven Piano Trio No. 1 in E flat major
2. Mozart Piano Sonata in B Flat major K. 570
3. Schubert Impromptu No. 3 in G Flat major
4. Brahms Capriccio in d minor
5. Chopin Polonaise in A Major "Military"

Some of the pieces I have worked on in the past are Beethoven Piano Sonata No.1 and other sonatas, Bach Prelude and Fugue No. 21 in B flat major, several of the Chopin's nocturnes and preludes, and other pieces. I am also currently working on a piano concerto by Kabalevsky that I could use on my senior recital program. Thanks everyone for your input.

Just the piano part, or are you having help?  Just the solo part seems a funny idea TBH.

I will be having both a cello and violin in the Trio. This trio helps to complete my chamber music requirement.

That's fine then.    My preference is for the later ones, but don;'t let that sway you.

I do think you should do something written in the last 150 years, though.

Perhaps you could swap one of the three more Romantic pieces, (Schubert, Brahms, Chopin), for a piece of the Baroque period. Perhaps a Scarlatti Sonata?
K.27 would substitute nicely for the Schubert in terms of tone, but would also contrast pretty well with the other pieces in my opinion.
If you plan on playing the pieces in that order, then I think the K.27 would fit very nicely with the  Brahms!
Other than that, it looks pretty good!
