Sets of pieces to record?
on: March 09, 2015, 08:44:50 PM
I am potentially set up with an amazing opportunity. A friend of my mothers attended a live concert of my teachers with her (my mother), and he took interest in my playing, and he may also be doing this for another student.
He has a professional quality recording studio (he has recordings of his own playing; admittedly, not the best playing, but good quality audio!
), and he wishes to help me create recordings in the near future.
So, I got to thinking- what set(s) of pieces makes for good recordings?
To start, I was thinking some basic stuff to get the process of recording down in a studio (done it before in my house, so I have some experience, but obv. a studio experience will be different). I was thinking the Bach two part Inventions, and the Clementi Sonatinas op 36, so I could have a recording of "beginning advanced" rep, so to speak. Maybe this isn't a great idea to have the Clementi and Bach in the same set, but I'll think on it.
Anyways, what are your thoughts?

Any reason you are specifically looking for a set? To be clear, are you doing this for recording studio experience or do you really need a recorded set (for an audition tape or similar)?
If the purpose is to gain studio experiences, just select a variety of pieces that you feel are ready for performance. The recording workflow is a bit different then preparing for a recital, and you will learn more about it as you go about the actual recording activities.

It's for potential audition tapes, and potentially to be commercially sold, where a set of the Bach inventions might do well. I don't know though.
