Wow that’s interesting. I guess some of these applications are a crap shoot. I’ll be applying to a few others as well for that reason.

I like it! Instead of rhapsody in blue i would definitely go for a Bach work. You have programmed a lot of 19th-20th century music so a Bach piece in there would be good. Maybe a partita? The rest of it looks very good, even though I can't stand the Tchaik concerto  ;D
