Concert Help
on: August 15, 2014, 06:27:53 AM
Hi Everyone!

I am playing a recital for a college requirement and have almost completed the program.  I have listed the program I have put together so far.

Bach Prelude and Fugue No. 7 in E-flat Major from WTC Book 2
Mozart Piano Sonata K. 309
Chopin Ballade No. 3
Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 1
Scriabin Piano Sonata No. 2
Bolcom Ghost Rag

I need about 10 to 15 minutes more repertoire and have just been stuck on what to play! With so much music out there that I wish to perform its hard to put a finger on some pieces.  I post this here because I would love a second opinion or any suggestions as to pieces that would fit well in my program.  Any suggestions at all would help! Thanks so much!

Choose a composer from the country in which your college is located.  Perhaps a recent work. 

Early Baroque or Renaissance, not Bach.  Keyboard music that predates Bach or was written by one of his contemporaries. 

An improvisation.  IMO this art is far too neglected by the art music academia. 
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
