How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion
It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

Help! my audition!
on: June 25, 2018, 02:04:10 PM
Hello everyone!
So i will be auditioning for classical music college next year (February) in Sweden! And I need help with my repertoire (cause I have no idea what is best to auditioning with)
I need 4 pieces from different epochs! I already have got 2 pieces by my teacher
1: Chopins Etüde no 25 no 14 in f Minor "the bees"
2: Bachs prelude and fugue in c minor
(so have about this skill-level in mind)

I need one 1st movement (sonat) by Beethoven, Haydn or Mozart (my teacher recommend Beethoven)
And one maybe impressionist piece (Debussy maybe)
I don't think I allowed to have a modern piece!

The biggest problem that I have is that I have tiny hands my biggest span is a decima and I have problems to take big chords! So keep that in mind! :)

Any ideas of a good repertoire?
Thanks for your help!

And don't forget if I could ask my teacher about that then I wouldn't make this post :)

Thanks in advance!

As far as Beethoven sonatas goes, they're all pretty much game EXCEPT

Moonlight, op 49, and pathetique. 

For Imprrssionist do Debussy images or something

However if you wanna be really cool you can play a piece by Albeniz. 

And how come you can't ask your teacher?
