How large is your repertoire?

[RappinPhil]

I apologize if this question has been asked a zillion times, but I'm quite curious as to how many pieces you all have in your repertoire.

In addition, could you list what pieces they are, approxiamtely how long they took you to memorize, and the length of time you have been studying the piano (and if you could, how many hours you put in per day)? Thanks, should be interesting!

Mine's fairly small

Bach:
Italian Concerto mvt 1 ~4:00

Chopin:
Waltz in E minor op.post ~3:00
Military Polonaise op40 no1 ~4:00
Nocturne in F minor op55 no1 ~5:00
Prelude in D flat major 'Raindrop' ~4:00

Debussy:
Arabesque no1 ~3:30
Minstrels from Book 1 of Preludes ~2:00

Mendelssohn:
Scherzo in E minor op16 no2 ~2:30
Venetian Boat Song op19 no6 ~2:00

Joplin:
Maple Leaf Rag ~3:30

Haydn:
Gypsy Rondo ~3:00
Allegro Giocoso

Mozart:
Rondo alla Turca ~3:00

Grieg:
Elfin Dance
Puck
Cowherd's Song
Song of the North

Mussorgsky:
Promenade no1 from 'Pictures' ~1:30

Which adds up to about 41 minutes.  I took all the times from classicalarchives.com, so they may be a bit different than my actual times.(any pieces without times weren't on the site)

I've been playing piano for a little under 4 years, and most of my current repertoire comes from the past couple years, when I've buckled down and practiced efficiently.  I tend to play 1 to 2 hours a day while in school, and more during vacations.

[Goldberg]

Infinitesimal. I'm not even sure I know a piece worth mentioning, after 5 years of useless studying.

[Motrax]

My my, don't be so hard on yourself! Having a repertoire like Richter's takes the work and time that Richter put into his playing. In my opinion, being able to fluently sightread is a much more important skill than being able to hold thirty sonatas in your head.

I'll refrain from posting here just yet, because I'm gonna know a lot more music than I currently do after Winter Break.

Bach: p/fs in bm, fm, c#m, bk I,

Beethoven:sontas in F op. 10 no.2, Cm (pathetique), fm (appassionata), dm (tempest),

Chopin:Etudes in c#m, cm op.10, am, bm, c#m, cm op.25,
            Nocturnes in c#m, eflat, em,
            scherzo in c#m,
            sonata in bm (almost),

Scriabin:Etudes op.8 in bm, f#, e, d#m, op.42 no.5 in c#m,

Haydn:sonatas in f, bm, em,

Rachmaninoff:2nd concerto,

Grieg:concerto in am,

Liszt:harmonies du soir, benediction de dieu dans la solitude,

Schumann: etudes symphonique,

Brahms: klavierstucke op.119, rhapsodie in gm,

Debussy: images bk1+2, various preludes from both bks,

Poulenc:theme varie,

Ravel:miroirs complete,

Ginastera: sonata 1,

Macmillan: sonata.

And various other pieces such as clair de lune and other shorter pieces, comes to around 460-500 mins, about 6 hours I guess. Nothing near Richter! Most of these pieces I have memorised although I would not for a moment suggest that I could play all of them instantly and perfectly from memory, but it wouldn't take a lot to get them to performance standard. I am 18 and have been play for about 13-14 years, but most of this repetoire has been built up in the last 3 or 4 years. As far as how long it takes me to memorise things, well I tend to take quite a time, but generally once a piece is memorised it stays there, some composers I memorise quicker than others for example I find Debussy very straight forward normally.

Duplicate post, sorry!

[pianowelsh]

I'd like to know how some of you guys play works like Tchaikovsky Pletnev Transcriptions and Mussorgsky pictures after only 4 years piano study! Presumably you not talking about middle C to the Waldstein in 4 years and are actually referring to 'serious' college level study?? If you have gone middle C - that in 4/5 years You really don't need to be worrying about your 'small' or 'tiny' repertory it's big enough for your years!
