Hi all. I recently was accepted into a top conservatory and chose to enroll. I am getting major imposter syndrome and I feel as if I am not technically good enough. For my audition I played Bach prelude & fugue in C minor BWV 847, Beethoven sonata in G major no.10, op. 14, Chopin ballade no.1, and Debussy l'isle joyeuse, L. 106. I've not played any of the "difficult" chopin etudes nor have I performed a concerto. Am I crazy or am I behind a little.
Aditionally, I understand that naming the pieces which I played does not in anyway indicate what quality of artist I am. When responding please try to understand that as I write this, I am only concerned about my technique and believe that these pieces - played to a standard which does get one accepted - represent my current technical ability.
I think this might be a very common question for many others so it would be great to hear what the general level of a 1st year conservatory student is.
