In finals maybe a Medtner as one of the 3 etudes [one of the two non Chopin]Op 4 no 1 g sharp minor comes to mind (there is a nice c minor one i love but.its not difficult enough for this setting)[ Invalid YouTube link ]
Thanks visitor! Do you have any links for the sheet music?
jesus christ aren't you like 10you are sure one ambitious kid, good luck.
\Well I am 13 and it is a junior competition and I have a lot of time to prepare for it, like maybe 3-4 years?
Damn, I swear your mom used your account and told us your age (with a few videos) awhile back. Either I'm getting the wrong account or time really flew lol
This is from 1951, would work as a post '49 piece That b section gets real Scriabinyish, gawd i love this piece so much i read through parts at times, i should quit messin around and learn the thing....Omg it's so good.
Man ...Some days I think I'm pretty well, then I see stuff like this!!!You're doing awesome, never give up ...You should do something by Scriabin instead of Ravel--there isn't enough Scriabin played in the world! A sonata, or even his Fantasie in B minor. Also, check out his Polonaise! Also, Beethoven Op. 90 is a great piece, but also rarely played! And Busoni is a great choice--and he did more than just the Chaconne; check out that Toccata and Fugue in D minor, famous on organ but rarely played on the piano!For the concerto, I say do the Mozart. It's a nice contrast to the Chopin. And BTW about that Chopin Concerto: I love that one, and am currently working on it!
Also, where do you find the score for Scriabin's Polonaise? Thank you again in advance.
I agree with you that Scriabin isn't played enough. Thank you, but I don't think I am good at all I already have the Scriabin fourth sonata, though I might learn the 2nd. The Fantasie in b minor is a nice choice, too. Also, I am wondering about Chopin's Rondo Op.16. I know it is VERY HARD, but I think I should be able to play it recital-ready in 3 years. Therefore, I think my new rep would be:1stBach Overture BWV 831( I could do the busoni, but I like this piece better)Beethoven Op.90(Amazing sonata)Scriabin Sonata No.4(or Fantasie Op.28)Carter Catenaires2ndScriabin Sonata No.2Beethoven WaldsteinChopin Rondo Op.16I could also try:1stBach-Busoni Toccata and Fugue or ChacconneTaktakishvili PoemSchumann Carnaval Op.9 or Fantasiestucke2ndScriabinBeethoven Op.90ChopinMaybe Rach Etude-Tableaux or Liszt Mephisto Waltz3rdI decided with Mozart K.467Thank you for your suggestions. Also, where do you find the score for Scriabin's Polonaise? Thank you again in advance.
Hi! I think it is a great idea to play the op. 16 rondo by Chopin. It is a very underappreciated gem that isn't played very often, and I think with a good performance you could really shine with it. I really like the op. 90 sonata, but honestly I think something like op. 31 no. 3 would fit better with the other pieces, but I guess that is a matter of taste. I am very glad that you want to play Scriabins 4th sonata. I play it, and it is one of the most amazing pieces I have ever worked with. But if you play a Scriabin sonata in the first round I don't think you should do it in the second round. Why not do something by Debussy or Ravel perhaps, since you don't have any impressionistic piece in your competition rep? Same could be said for the Beethoven, because you have Beethoven sonatas in both round one and two. You could try Haydn Hob. XVI No. 52 sonata instead of Waldstein maybe. It is a fantastic sonata that is about 20 minutes long, and a great competition piece. The rest are great choices though. Hope I could help
I learned the Hob.XVI 52 a while back. It is a very interesting piece, and I will probably relearn it. Yeah I was thinking of doing Ondine, L'isle Joyeuse, or a couple of debussy preludes instead of the scriabin. Op.31 no.3 is a great piece but I won't have enough time to play anything else So I might switch to shorter sonata in the same style as Op.31 no.3. Any suggestions would be great Thanks very much.
