Need help ltcl repertoire
on: December 07, 2013, 10:05:01 AM
Hi,

I need help with ltcl repertoire to fulfill duration 37-43 mins.

These are what I have:
Mozart F major 533 - perhaps 16 mins?
Schubert impromptu b flat - perhaps 8 mins?
Chopin nocturne d flat - perhaps 6 mins?
Bach English suite no 2 - perhaps 11-12 mins?

However my teacher said I'm weak in finger independence so Bach will definitely shows my weakness and I might be better off playing those with lighter touch such as Debussy.

But I don't like any of the Debussy so I was thinking of playing Poulenc intermezzo a flat (around 5 mins) or any of Bach prelude and fugue either 872 or 893 (around 3-4 mins).

Any opinions? Would I be able to fulfill duration? I'm not too sure whether the estimated durations are correct.

Something (anything) written in the last 150 years, perhaps.  ::)

Instead of shying away from pieces that show your supposed weak finger independence, why don't you take that as a sign to work on it? I don't wanna sound mean, angry, or anything, but just what is your goal with music? Passing an exam or making music? Work on the Bach, I say...
And don't even think of approaching Ravel without a strong basis in finger independence, you are going to find some very awkward figures and and thick textures that will require a lot from each finger.
Otherwise, nice repertoire! I really like that nocturne.  ;D
Chopin First Scherzo
Guarnieri Ponteios
Ravel Sonatine
Rachmaninoff Prelude op. 32 no. 10
Schumann Kinderszenen
Debussy Brouillards
Bach, Bach, Bach...
