Schubert D 784 for Master's Audition?
on: August 02, 2016, 09:59:09 AM
Hey y'all,
I absolutely love Schubert's Sonata in a Minor (D784), and was wondering if it was appropriate for a Master's audition (For McGill or UBC), as it frankly does not require the same technical facility as the more popularly played Beethoven sonatas (op. 81a, 53, 101, 109, 110, 111).
Also, I was more generally curious as to what Classical sonatas are standard for a Master's audition, because a complete Classical-period sonata is on every school's audition requirements list that I have looked at. Is it more standard to perform one of the beastly Beethoven sonatas, because of their inherent difficulty; or is it also standard to see Mozart, Haydn, or Schubert?
Thanks,
Ian

1. Your current professor is likely the best to pose this question to
2. At the graduate level, a deeper understanding of the work and attention to detail and nuance are likely weighed as or more than the technical buy in within reason.
3.you might fall out of love with the piece between now and then, you might discover deeper beauty, your connection to the piece matters if a school has a standard that the work meets.
4. If you doubt its significance or difficulty, in an important competitive scenario, are you willing to take a gamble ?
5. If allowed, you might consider a Hummel sonata, or one of the big Czerny Sonatas, or Dussek or Clementi,...
