Contrasting pieces?
on: January 09, 2005, 07:28:04 PM
Hi,

I have to play two pieces of different periods.

I want to play Schumann or Tschaikowsky and Debussy.
Is there enough contrast? Or is it better to play Bach and Debussy,
Bach and Schumann or Tschaikowsky,

what do you think,

What is this for?  I'd say go with Bach and either Tchaikovsky or Schumann.  But then again, I don't know which pieces, and I'm recommending something that I don't even know what I'm recommending for.  Oh, I'll just go ahead and give the usual advice.... Play whatever you play well and is most comfortable.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

What specific pieces from each composer do you have in mind?
