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.
