Which should I play?
on: August 17, 2015, 09:38:46 PM
Hi

I'm going to a competition, and there's practically an unwritten law of every piano competition to play a Bach piece ::)

Any suggestions?
(And yes, I am also planning to do some Rameau and MAYBE some Handel. Couperin??? Maybe not)

I would broaden your net to include [potentially] some Galuppi

HA Already know him ;D  I prefer his Sonata in D. The Sonata in C is kind of weak??? ::)

I also like Michelangelo Rossi's Andantino in G. But the problem w/ Rossi and Galuppi is THEY SOUND SO CLASSICAL AND MOZARTESQUE!!!! So does Scarlatti every once in a while (I. e. K44,) but that's OK, because he's unanimously considered a Baroque Composer.

Thanks for reminding me, though. I COMPLETELY forgot about him ::)
