A Programme for a Successful Recital
on: February 14, 2005, 04:30:47 AM
Hi everyone! I'm here today to ask you for some suggestions for my piano recital some time this year. We all know that in order to have a successful concert, a good programme is very important. I have considered the Haydn Sonata in E flat HobXVI:52, a few contrasting pieces from Liszt's Anees de Pelerinage (maybe "Chapel of William Tell" and "The Bells of Geneva" from First Year" Switzerland). Also Mompou's "Charmes" (If you're not familiar with this composer you're definitly missing out on some great music!)... And then maybe finishing off with Chopin's Scherzo No.2. But this is not enough. Please suggest anything you'd think would go well in this recital. Maybe just tell me some pieces you love, or you can tell me of past experiences with your own recitals. Anything. l'd be most happy! Cheers

i know how you feel - i have trouble choosing for a work to end my recital's 1st part - pretty frustrating.

haydn, liszt, chopin and mompou - sounds good so far. what else would be on your list?

I would definately suggest something russian. Maybe some pieces by Tchiakovsky or a prokofiev sonata? ::) ;)

that depends - how many pieces do you want to add to the ones you already decided to include, and about what timing?
