Help for auditionspieces (in Sweden)

on: July 28, 2018, 06:29:07 PM

Hello!
I Will audition in sweden next spring and would like to hear your suggestions/opinions on My auditionpieces! The only thing I know is that it should be four pieces from different epochs. One first movement by either a Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven sonata, and one piece with a virtuoso character!
I just want to know if my Auditionprogram is appropriate, or if it is to weak
Here it is:

Bachs prelude and fugue in c minor

Chopins Etüde in f minor op 25 nr 2
(For the virtuoso part)

Beethovens Sonata in f major op 10 nr 2 (first movement)

And Maybe debussy rêverie

You might try a different Bach Prelude and Fugue, as the c minor from Book I is played an awful lot. D major or Ab major from Book I might be good, and are not much more difficult than the c minor.

What are auditioning for? Once that is known, it will be easier to get meaningful feedback

Edited to add: Going to post you made on June 26, you are auditioning for a musical college. The Debussy reverie will not be acceptable as the level is too low. In the reply on June 26th, something from Images was suggested.

I think you will probably get other comments as well

Since you are now attending a musical school, have you discussed these thoughts with your teacher?

I also think the c minor prelude and fugue is pretty popular, so if you have another one prepared I'd go with the other one. Chopin etude 25/2 is considered as one of the easiest etudes by Chopin, so if you're applying to a very competitive school then it could be that this might be a bit to easy in comparison to others (In that case maybe try op10 no. 1,2,4,8 or op 25 no.6,10,11,12, those should be fine I think (if you can play them!If they're too difficult then don't do one of those)). I don't really know the Debussy piece and Beethoven very well, so I won't really comment on those. But if you need a impressionistic piece then I think something like Ravel's Miroirs or Jeux d'eau (that might be overplayed though) or Debussy's images or the l'isle joyeuse might work.
