Should I do an intermission or no

on: April 03, 2016, 09:35:35 PM

Alright so yo...

I got this recital joint in two weeks and this is what I'm throwin down.

Bach prelude and fugue Bb minor book 1

Beethoven op 81a

Rachmaninoff moment musicals 1,3, and 4

I know it's not a lot so I was wondering if I should crank this all out in one sitting or do a short intermission after I finish the Beethoven or something. Oh and it's important to know that it takes me longer than normal to finish the Beethoven.

Do it all in one sitting no point in intermission at our stage, the audience wants to be in and out of there not anything dragged on

Okay, my advice is, if you have it up: is to play something (I cannot believe I am using these words) something flashy about six minutes long in the second half. Or if you don't, play a series of pieces from the Impressionists which works out to about ten minutes in time.

Then, as an encore, play the Rach #3 Moment Musicaux. Your program, at this juncture is too short, and, specific to the last composer, not all that well structured.

Good luck to you.

Generally i go w the guideline, 60 min or longer of playing time, intermission ie 10 min, people get up stretch walk around, talk, restroom water , etc
,house lights on.
less.than 60 i have used an interval, 5 minutes , houselights if turned on are dimmed, and people can talk stand up but not long enough as intermission, just a quick breather for you. Interval would be more for you than audience.

The difference between this website and F. Baxter's is that we don't get to freely pop-off whenever we feel like it. On point, the OP's original question was straightforward, succinct, and a common problem to most pianists.

My behavior on a particular thread depends on the OP. I know RF can handle roasting because he's chill, I wouldn't however display the same attitude on one of your threads. So chill out, drink a cup of coffee and relax. Learn to ignore pointless posts.
