Recital program opinions
on: January 22, 2018, 02:42:50 AM
Hello! I am currently preparing for my solo recital that is coming up next year, and I am trying to decide what to put on my program. Right now, here are the pieces I have in my repertoire:
French Suite No. 5 in G Major by Bach
10 Variations in F Major by Schubert
Fantasy in F Minor, Op. 49 by Chopin
Three Intermezzi, Op. 117 by Brahms
Barcarolle No. 4 in A Flat Major by Faure
Oiseaux Tristes by Ravel
La vallée des cloches by Ravel
I was thinking of playing Bach, Schubert, Chopin, and Ravel, but which pieces do you think would work best as a recital program? or if you any suggestions on other pieces, that would be great! Thank you in advance!

I like that program, though I would consider switching out the Chopin for Brahms or Faure, just because Chopin in general is played a lot. Just my opinion, coming from someone who's nuts about Chopin ...

Thanks for the suggestions! Another piece I thought about adding was Mozart Sonata in D Major K. 576

That one's beautiful, and would probably transition nicely between the Bach and Schubert too ...

That Chopin piece isn't played quite as often, though, because it's a monster work. If you can pull off the Chopin well, do it.
