Question: Piano Levels for Advanced Audition!?
I have an advanced-level panel audition coming up next year, and I've chosen the following works:
Etude: Rachmaninoff Etudes-Tableaux Op!.33 No!.8
Baroque: Bach Sinfonia #15 in B Minor
Classical: Beethoven Sonata #30 1st Movement
Romantic: Faure Impromptu in F Minor
Comtemporary: Bartok Allegro Barbaro
Anyone know if these are of appropriate difficulty!? If not, I would appreciate recommendations!. Thank You!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
the Rachmaninoff piece- good choice
i wouldn't do a bach sinfonia, since many average pianists play them-I would recommend a difficult prelude and fugue, or a suite in French style- however you could probably so this sinfonia if you prefer it to other baroque pieces
instead of doing one movement of the beethoven sonata, try a couple, or the whole thing, that is if there is no time limit and you could learn them by next year
The romantic piece- Faure is not a romantic composer, since his music dates past the 20th century!. I would recommend a piece by Chopin , Mendelssohn, or Liszt
the bartok piece is a good choice as a contemporary selection
hope this helps and good luck!
