my audition repitore

on: December 08, 2018, 03:10:57 PM

So i'm auditioning to a variety of schools next month, most of which request 3 out of the 4 pieces I have prepared:

Classical sonata first Mov: Beethoven 10, 1
Bach P&F: Dminor Bk1
Romantic Piece: Polonaise Op 40, 2
After 1900: Ravel Waltz le sentienimales "Moins Vif"

What do you guys think?

What sort of schools?

The Ravel is probably not in the spirit of what they expect. But if you only have one month, what is there to do? You could learn the Webern Variations or Schoenberg Six Little Pieces in that time. Perhaps something by Bartok?

might also consider a Kabalevksy prelude and Fugue?
