Master's Audition program

on: January 14, 2016, 03:19:52 AM

Hi everyone,

I'll be auditioning for schools in UK and US at the end of this year.

Here's my plan:

Bach - Prelude and Fugue no. 3 in C# Major, Book II, BWV872
Mozart - Sonata no. 16 in D major, K. 576
Tchaikovsky - Dumka
Mendelssohn - Rondo Capriciosso
Ravel - Jeux d'eau or Debussy Image 1 (?)
Liszt - La Leggierezza or Un Sospiro (?)

Does it look ok? Are the romantic pieces substantial enough? Please give me suggestions!

Thank You

hard to believe someone auditioning for an MM would need suggestions or ask if the Romantic era pieces are "substantial" enough. Since you already have a music degree your knowledge of piano literature should be very advanced.

I just want to make sure cos I don't have a teacher atm and I'm just indecisive in general. I just want input and help from those who are more experienced than me. Well I'm sorry if these kinds of posts annoy you because I really have no other intentions. I will ask more relevant and thought-provoking questions next time.
