piano repertoire for college audition

[amandalee0217]

hey guys!
i am going to be a senior in high school! I want to know if my repertoire will be enough for the auditions. thank you.

Baroque- (have not decided)
classical-beethoven sonata op 10 no 3
romantic- schumann abegg variations
contemporary- Barber Sonata in E-flat Minor, Op.26 iv. Fuga
etude- Liszt Transcendental Etudes - No.11 'Harmonies du Soir'

Your repertoire is fine: now all depends on how you play it 

Since you already have a fugue in the programme, for Baroque I'd go for a piece where you can show niceties of style, for instance something with repeats that you can suitably ornament.

the Barber sonata is from 1949.  fail to see how it is contemporary.  if the req are contemporary, i would look elsewhere, if the category is actually '20th century' and you simply misnamed, then prob ok.

there's a lot of music to choose from if you will be playing truely contemporary or recently modern works. Depends on exactly what the panel is asking for. other things look pretty safe/standard.

for example

Your program is fine for auditions.  Which schools in particular???  Their specific audition requirements will probably offer you more detailed advice for you situation.

For the baroque selection, a prelude and fugue by J. S. Bach will probably fit the requirements for virtually all auditions, especially if it has a three voice fugue

HI!
the school i want to go to the most is USC since it has a great piano program as well as the industry program. Do you know if USC is a hard school to get in for piano major? some other schools I am planing on applying- indiana univ., boston univ., colburn school, and eastman. I want to have a job in the future related to industry so i am only applying to schools around areas where they film scores!

Baroque!

For Baroque, I know someone from one of the schools you're planning (not USC, though.) She played Les Cyclopes by Rameau. Beginning is not as good as a Scarlatti Sonata, but once you delve further, I'm sure it will really be fun (unless you have smaller hands)

Also, Handel wrote good stuff, too:

Couperin:

Or Maybe some Bach (with some Vivaldi added/mixed in):

(Skip to 3rd Movement)
or his Fantasy BWV. 906, or Italian Concerto,....

Lots to consider. And I'm bad at deciding.
