Dream Program

[steinwayguy]

I'm pretty sure this topic has been done in the past, but...

What program would you sell your soul to perform?

My graduation recital program for next year is going to be (in all likelihood):
Brahms- Piano Pieces Op. 119
Rachmaninoff- 4 Preludes Op. 32 (No. 10-13)
-Intermission-
Schubert- Piano Sonata No. 21 in B-flat Major, D.960

I might be over-indulging myself...

[Skeptopotamus]

I would kill to get to do a concert of some of my compositions, but besides that, i would give just about anything to be able to play

Xenakis Herma
Boulez Sonata No. 3
Nancarrow Sonatine 1941



as part of a concert.  oooooh and the michael nymen piano concerto.

[AvoidedCadence]

Hmmm.... tough.  However, assuming unlimited stamina, technique, and a perfect audience who loves these works as much as I:

All five late Beethoven sonatas in one program.

[LVB op.57]

Bach-Well tempered clavier book 1-c minor, d major, b flat minor, d minor
Beethoven-Appassionata (over played, but still great)
Chopin-Etude op. 10 no.5, nocturne op. 9 no.1

[Dazzer]

rach, prok concertos over 4 weekends.

[pianowelsh]

Dazzer - why not in one concert??!  My head is full of concert programmes i would love to give unfortunately my fingers cant keep up. Themed recitals are my favourite ie Water or pieces inspired by spanish painters etc etc etc.

[etudes]

this is my plan for 2005-2006
end of 2006 i want to play a recital with this programs
6 Paganini Etudes - Liszt
Intermission
4 Ballade - Chopin
Don juan - Mozart - Liszt (perhaps)

encore La Campanella Liszt  - Busoni (or else if i can develop myself in time i would rock with Hamelin version)

i think my program is overplayed but i want to play it becoz i love it

[Skeptopotamus]

NICE!!

but i think it might be easier to do the ballads, then the lizst- that way both parts are more equal in length.



and can i see the sheets to the hamelin or busoni campanella?  i've never even heard them sadly *whimper whimper*

for the busoni
for Hamelin i will send it to you i dont have link
can u PM me?

[etudes]

for the record of Busoni La campanella check out John Ogdon with flawless technique and great musicality
btw i mean my program the second part i would like to play all 4 ballade chopin and Liszt - Don juan (if i can) but maybe its too long if compare with first part

[Ludwig Van Rachabji]

In no particular order -


Beethoven - Opus 111

Godowsky - Sonata

Ravel - Gaspard de la Nuit

Scriabin - Sonata #5

Sorabji - Fantasie Espagnole

Rachmaninoff - 3rd Piano Concerto

Busoni - Piano Concerto

Mozart - Anything to balance out the emotionally draining atmosphere of the other pieces


Undoubtedly, it would be one of the longest (and most tiring) performances in history, but it would be an amazing experience, don't you think?

[apion]

Ravel, Gaspard de la Nuit
Beethoven, Hammerklavier
Liszt, Totentanz

GATORADE BREAK

Brahms, Piano Concerto no. 1
Brahms, Piano Concerto no. 2

GATORADE BREAK

Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition
Bach, Goldberg Variations
