Audition Repertoire
on: December 19, 2013, 03:28:51 AM
Hello,
I am beginning to prepare my college audition repertoire, and need some advice. The minimum amount of time required is 20 minutes and the maximum is 40. Do you think this is a good audition?
1. Bach Prelude and Fugue No. 2 in C Minor WTCI
2. Mozart Sonata K. 310
3. Chopin Scherzo No. 1 or Liszt HR no. 14 (already almost done with this one)
4a. Chopin Etude op. 25 no. 12
4b. Liszt TE No. 8 or No. 12 or Scriabin Etude op. 8 no. 12
5. Alkan Etude op. 39 no. 4?; Fumagalli Robert le Diable Fantasy for Left Hand Alone
Others to take into consideration (possible substitutes): Alkan Etude op. 35 no. 7; Busoni Elegin no 4; Liszt Standchen; Liszt Faust Waltz; Mendelssohn Variations Serieuses; Alkan Grand Sonata 40Ans; Chopin Nocturne in C Sharp Minor
Thanks!

If this was 1913 (and you included the Busoni) and not 2013.
I think it's fine as far as it goes, but it needs one or two more recent works.

It is heavy on romantic. You start w pretty standard then stall halfway. Pick your big major romantic work, perhaps keep the short étude. I would be inclined to ask you to to include a Debussy or Ravel and perhaps something post impressionist modern as well either avant guard aka late Scriabin perhaps Roslavets, Lourie or similar style but my instinct would suggest Copland, Ives, or one of their contemporaries . Have a look at Bernstein and Barber solo works too!
Adding
Carl Vine bagatelle or couple/few would be equally fine maybe perhaps preferable
