LLCM / LTCL
on: November 03, 2015, 06:57:15 PM
Hello all  

I am hoping to sit my LLCM or LTCL diploma this year, and have been working on some repertoire ideas, but I can't for the life of me decide! Most of it is reasonably secure, but my last piece is proving terribly troublesome to choose. At present, my repertoire looks like this:

- Beethoven, Sonata in E flat major, Op. 31/3
- Chopin, Nocturne in C minor, Op. 48/1
- Liszt, Concert study in D flat major 'Un sospiro', S.144/3
...and there it ends.

For my final piece, I would really love to learn the Gottshalk ‘Souvenir de Porto Rico, “Marche des Gibaros”, Op. 31, but my teacher doesn't seem to think it would be a good idea in the context of the programme. As an alternative, the Scriabin Poemes, Op.69, have been suggested, but I can't find an indication anywhere of whether these would be up to the standard of the above diplomas. I had originally been looking at Debussy's 'Ondine', which is certainly a lovely piece, but I didn't think it would be sufficiently contrasting for my diploma.

Any advice on all of this would be hugely appreciated! I really want to be able to focus on all of my pieces, and for some reason that's just proving very difficult when I don't have a firm idea of my programme, and may indeed end up having to tear it all down and start from scratch!

 NOTE: I did post this elsewhere, but realised it might be better placed here! ;D :D
