Hello All!
Currently, I'm a junior in high school and I'm planning my audition program for next year, when I will be auditioning for a few conservatories, my top choice being NEC!
Here is the program I'm thinking of now:
Bach P&F D Major, Book II, BWV 874 - Piece written before 1750 (e.g. prelude and fugue, suite, or partita by J.S. Bach)
Beethoven Appassionata or Op. 109 (is playing late Beethoven as a young artist too "taboo" for an audition? Also, I've already learned the Appassionata, the Op. 109 would be new), or Mozart 12/13, or a nice Haydn sonata any of which I'm open to suggestions! (I've already learned the G Major Hob:XVI:27, but I think this is a tad on the easy side for a conservatory audition). -- A complete Classical Sonata
Chopin Op. 35 Sonata, Ballade No. 1 or 4, Polonaise-Fantasie, Liszt Dante Sonata, Rachmaninoff Chopin Variations (Polonaise Fantasie, Op. 35 sonata, and rach variations would be new for me) -- "Substantial Romantic Work"
Scriabin Sonata No. 2, Prokofiev No. 7, Barber Sonata, Shostakovich P&F? Any suggestions for a 20th/21st century work? The Prokofiev/Barber would certainly be a stretch, but as I love both of these pieces I'd be highly motivated to learn each. -- A 20th/21st Century work
Chopin Etude Op. 25 No. 12, Liszt Transcendental Etude No.2, A Rachmaninoff etude Tableaux? -- "A fast etude"
Particularly I'd like advice for the 20th century and "fast etude" pieces. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
