Ravel, Alborada del gracioso from Miroirs Beethoven, Piano Sonata in f minor, Op. Bach, Prelude and Fugue in f-sharp minor, BWV 883 If you want an idea, here was my audition program for my auditions: Rachmaninoff Étude-Tableau in e-flat minor, Op. The following etudes are also good choices:
"Am I good at arpeggios, octaves, repeated notes, rapid scales, trills, or etc.?" If you are good at octaves, playing an "octave etude" would be better than playing an etude with massive arpeggios It's gorgeous, but difficult to play well, especially if you have subpar arpeggio technique.Īsk yourself. You will undoubtedly impress the judges if your performance of a Chopin ballade has something "special" in it.Īs for an etude.if you love Debussy, there's no doubt that you'll love his etude nr. The finale in the F major is extraordinarily difficult, as is the c-sharp minor section in the A-flat major. 2 and 3 are both very difficult to play well.
I recommend Emil Gilels' recording of the op. I auditioned for (pre-college) music schools (I'm going to Colburn Academy in Los Angeles this fall) a few months ago, and I must confess that I heard the Beethoven A-flat major sonata (Op. And it is not "overplayed" at all at auditions in my opinion. I love the Waldstein sonata it is my favorite Beethoven sonata. In my opinion, if you can play your repertoire exceptionally well, the fact that they are "overplayed" or not should not concern you At an audition, the adjudicators' decisions to accept you or not are based on the quailty of your performances, not your selection of repertoire. If someone could give me some suggestions on those, that would be very helpful! Thank you so much! any suggestions? Not a huge fan of Lizst, I was thinking maybe Debussy or Rachmaninoff?įor the substantial work/collection of works I think I want to do something contemporary because I heard that was good to do, but I really don't know that many contemporary music selections. I don't know what to do for the other etude. I'm not sure what else I would pick for that. I love Chopin's Ballades 2 and 3, but I read that those were overplayed as well. Here is what I'm thinking so far.įor the sonata I had thought about doing Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven, but I read on a forum here that it is very overplayed now I am leaning towards Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy I don't want to choose songs that are overplayed or not difficult enough.
