Given your teacher is a professor there, are they not most qualified to tell you if your playing or lit are to a competitive standard? You already have a chopin noctturne and romantic lit will usually be where you can showcase a technically more demanding work. So you might reconssiderif yooudo now choose something w a higher technical buy in for modern to also have a noctuurne by a composer.born in 1910 seems a bit redundant , also Barber is hardly "modern" it is closer to modern a Debussy Ravel, or Prokofiiev which some label incorrectely so i would consider a Canadian compoesser, also its more closer to modern. Macintyre was born in 1952 and is still alive.look at his tocatta as a nice contrast.
I'm not planning on attending any other schools since my teacher is at U of T and I only want the best education to foster my abilities - it's also conveniently easy to commute to since i'm in the city.
I was thinking about auditioning for York U and McMasters just for practice, but not accepting the offers.
I feel like continuing to take private lessons as I am now will be more beneficial than going to a university like York, which to my knowledge has a very simple program.
But what does my audition repertoire have to do with any of that? Isn't it just to show that I can study at the university level?
Speaking to your program, I do concur with Visitor about the romantic selection. This is one place you could use to display your technical aptitude.
Is that implying that the 48/1 Nocturne doesn't show enough technique? Would it be wiser to switch it out with say a scherzo or ballad by Chopin?
Generally you will use a repertoire different to your audition rep for playing in seniors homes and churches, so no reason to wait.
Alright, I'll probably switch out the nocturne with Ballad 1, even though it's the most famous one ...
were it me, I would look for something perhaps in the standard but less often played that you love or can grow to love
