Check out the Taktakishvili Sonata. My students love it - it show technique, plus it is FUN to play and hear. The Muczynski Sonata also is a winner - more American modern and angular. Do you know the Rhonda Larson work Movin' On? Unaccompanied, like the Bach a minor - but fun - and a workout. The Eldin Burton Sonata is also good. There are countless more - read on.

Go to Yahoo Groups and join FLUTENET. There are 3,00 of us professional flutists and serious students there. And - go to www.nafonline.org - the site of the National Flute Association. JOIN - and go to conventions, if you can. Form the Publications link, order the booklet on selected and graded repertoire, and also the one on etudes and instructional books. You will sleep with these under you pillow - they are our BIBLE for finding great literature. Yes, there are other indices - Pellerite, Vester, Pierreuse, etc. - but grab these two little guys FIRST.

Much luck with your university auditions.

oh and you can try copland:)

That's a pretty unbalanced rep list. It's really time you did some 20th-century lit. I'd say "do my sonata" but between the high Ds and the quarter tones it might be a bit much (plus, it isn't published yet). Maybe the Koechlin sonata op. 52; it's not done all that often and I don't remember it sounding particularly hard.
