Competition repertoire
on: March 06, 2025, 04:17:34 PM
Hi,

Im planning to join a conservatory next year and I thought it would be good to find some competitions before.
I have played in 2 "small" competitions already which went pretty well and I have my eye on a bigger international competition in febrauri next year, my problem is I easily stress over my competition repertoire ;) so I am asking you all of this is a good repertoire

Video selection: (20 min max)
Movement from classical sonata: Beethoven op 31 no 3 mvt 2 (4 min)
Virtuoso etude: Chopin op 25 no 10 (5 min)
Free choise: Debussy isle joyeuse (7 min)

First round (15-20 min)
Bach P&F; WTC 1 no 3 in C# major (3;30 min)
Etude by Chopin, Rach, Liszt or Scraibin: Liszt TE 10 (4;30 min)
First movement from classical sonata by Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn or Schubert: Haydn sonata hob/xvi 42 mvt 1 (4 min)
Free choice: Prokofiev sonata 3 (8min) (?)

Second round (35 min max)
Classical sonata by Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn or Schubert: Haydn sonata hob/xvi 42 (9 Min)
Romantic piece: Dante sonata Liszt
Modern piece (after 1945): ?

Final round
1st movement of a piano concerto from a list: Grieg in A minor

I am very unsure about the video and first round, mainly because in the first round my total time is 19 minutes and you only have 20 minutes including stage time. I would really like to play Prokofiev or a composer like him in that round.

Thanks in Advance!
