New Rep
on: March 15, 2014, 07:09:50 AM
Hi, everybody!  ;D I am looking for a new repertoire and any ideas/suggestions would help a lot.
My current one looks like this:

Currently working on:

Liszt T.E. No.8
Ravel Piano Concerto

Check out the Scarlatti sonatas.  There are plenty to choose from.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Do you want the usual stuff or something less familiar?

Sorry I didn't reply for so long, but I had a very busy schedule.  ::) Actually, I was/am looking for something from the standard repertoire, still not being overplayed or boring for the both audience and judges. Unfortunately, I can't play Chaminade, Piazolla and other composers that are not in the standard repertoire, as I'm professional and not an amateur. Still, I will play those pieces for fun, apart from the 'real' rep.  ;D

Can you specify what this rep is for?  Juries, auditions, themed recitals?

What exactly prevents you from playing non standard rep?

You sound like a royal turd. What the hell does 'real, rep mean? Good music by fine composers is pretty damn real.

If you're a professional and can't decide on your own "real rep", then frankly you ain't much of one.
