Single Concerto Movement

[unicorn99]

Hi everyone, going into my 10th year of playing piano soon. I haven't had a teacher for the past few months due to me going off to boarding school and not having enough time to practice but hey it's the summer now! My school has an annual concerto competition where students get the chance to play one movement of a concerto with the orchestra.

Auditions will be near the end of November/December but don't require memorization and the actual concert isn't until around May.

I'm not sure what exactly I want to play and I don't have a teacher to turn to for now.

My past concerto experience has been the following in order of earliest to latest.

Haydn - "Little" Concerto in C Major - 1st Movement
J.S. Bach - Concerto No. 4 in A Major BWV 1055 - 1st Movement
J.S. Bach - Concerto No. 1 in D Minor BWV 1052 - 3rd Movement
Mozart - Concerto No. 15 in Bb Major K. 450 - 3rd Movement (Learned for a different competition about 14 months ago)

Maybe thinking about playing a bit more Romantic?

If it helps to look at something more recent, the last major solo piece I finished was the entire Mozart Sonata No. 18 in D Major.

I'd stick with classical period. Most of the romantic concerti, aside from often being longer, are more often than not difficult as hell. Some of the later Mozart concerti are very nice; see the D minor and C minor.

alternately (and personally preferable  because it is my favorite or all piano concertos Kabalevsky No 3)
it's the most happy infectious/contagious and bubbly little concerto i know of
