competion...repertoire?

[lagin]

So,
Bach's Prelude and Fugue no. 2 in c-
Beethoven's Sonata in G+
or and Impromptu by Shubert....
which one should I enter in the scholarship competition.
I'm thinking Bach is the most impressive, but it's also easy to mess up.
Shubert is easy as pie, maybe too easy, but I know it the best, well, maybe that's because slow songs are just easier
Beethoven...don't know..

What Beethoven G Major are you talking about? Op. 31 No. 1, Op. 49 No. 2 or Op. 79??? And which impromptu? If it's easy as pie it must be Op. 142 No. 2. I need specifics though. If it's Beethoven Op. 31 No. 1, do that. If it's Op. 79, do the Prelude and Fugue.

[lagin]

Yes, the Impromtu is op. 142, no. 2, and the Beethoven is op. 79, so I guess that means go with the Prelude and Fugue?

Come on guys, some one help me out here.  Do I go with the Bach or is it to risky for this type of competition.  I'll be playing against some provincial finalists who are also entered so I want to pick the right piece

if you know the bach well, it shouldnt be that "risky"....dont not do a piece just because you think it risky....just learn the piece so well that its not a hit-or-miss thing nemore

[lagin]

You're right, dj. Thanks.
