Competition repertoire
on: November 01, 2016, 06:35:40 PM
Hi,
I'm going to attempt some Czech local competition in February. Now I'm trying to figure out what to play there.
I'm in the last category (20 year-old and more), the time limite is 9-15 minutes. And there sould be played pieces from different eras (baroko, classicism, romantism...)

My current ideas are:

Martinů etude A minor
Liszt Un Sospito
Chopin Ocean etude


or


Clementi Sonata 40/2 1st mov.
Chopin Ocean etude
Martinů Etude A minor


What do you thing about that? Thank you

Scarlatti - sonata K32, K99, K213, K141
Schubert - Sonata in A minor, D.784, no. 14
Chopin - Etude 10/1, 10/9, 25/12
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Program B is better. Program A has 2 Romantic etudes.

Just a suggestion: Martinu etude sounds Romantic (and may be considered Romantic, 1890 –1959). Why not replace Chopin etude with a Baroque piece? A prelude or fugue by Bach (you won't have time for both. The Clementi is going to take a good chunk of your time, and please do not do repeat), or a dance from Handel's suites, or a Piece de Clavecin by Rameau or Couperin? It will show your versatility.
Good luck!
