What you played for Diploma
on: May 13, 2005, 01:44:05 AM
I'm curious, and never satisfied with what I have chosen for my performer's ARCT, and have opened yet another thread dedicated to repertoire...

What have you played for your performer's diploma, or the equivalent in another country than Canada?

Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

Suddenly I feel like learning Revolutionary Etude, how much harder is it that Black Key etude... I can play that very well, but it takes barely any strength in the left hand, which RE requires a lot of...

As I read in your earlier post, you can play black notes with 5stars.  If you can do that, Revolutionary etude shouldnt be too much of a problem.  Not too hard to memorize either.

K I just found sheet music online of revolutionary and the only part that I find difficult so far is on the second page (this version has four pages, seen one with 7 before)  The section with the accidentals in the left hand, that's about as difficult as I am finding it, except I am not playing up to speed obviously.

Any one know anything about Ballade in Aflat by Chopin, I love how it sounds, but what are the difficulties in it, I am still very confused about what to play, I have switched constantly between different pieces, so if you know anything that'd be alot of help thanks.

I dont know what those tihngs are because I'm in Canada.

But following the conservatoire system, from 204 to 301 (to college level)

I played

Bach Prelude and Fugue
Mozart concerto 23, 1 and 2nd mouvement.
Liszt Année de pelerinage (Cloche de Geneves)
Brahms Klavierstucke (dunno which op, the one that has 3 intermezzo and 1 rhapsodie) I played the first intermezzo and the rhapsody (that one is hard)
Korngold (first of his Marshenbielder)
Scriabin Study (The popular one)

Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini

Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity.
