Brahms, 2nd Rhapsody
Chopin, étude op. 25n2
Bach, WTC1 P&F 23 in G sharp minor
Bartok, Allegro Barbaro
The Allegro Barbaro is pretty epic win. It's easier then it sounds/looks, until you get to the good tempi. then its a fun game to practice the displacements.
Eh, my repertoire situation is a bit tricky, but I'll see if I can post the best I can:
-Ravel Piano Concerto in G: already learned and practicing for competition 24th
-Ravel Rapsodie Espagnole (primo): in progress of learning the Feria for radio show October 27th (will do other three movements afterward)
-Schubert Fantasia in F Minor (secondo): in progress of learning
-Chopin Ballade 2 in F Major Op. 38: already learned. After concerto competition, will start practicing again for radio show October 27th
-Brahms Ballades Op. 10: will start learning after concerto competition
-Berg Piano Sonata: will start learning after concerto competition
-Beethoven Sonata in C Major Op. 53 "Waldstein": Already know the third movement, but will start learning the other two and practicing the third again either after concerto competition, or wait until after radio show.
-Bach: Any of the preludes and fugues: Probably learn after radio show
-Ravel La Valse (solo piano): Will start learning on Christmas break
-Alkan Symphony for Solo Piano 1st movement (Op. 39 No. 4): Hopefully during second semester? If not, during the summer. Also, sometime afterward, I want to do the other three movements (Op. 39 Nos. 5, 6, and 7).
now I am working on
Beethoven - Waldstein Sonata <-almost done with this
Then, I am going to start Sonata No.28 Op.101.. I know the first 2 movement somehow.
Bach - Partita No.2 in C minor
Chopin - Barcarolle in F# major Op. 60
Ravel - La Valse <- Probably will give up on this.
Also, relearning Chopin Etudes, atm Op.10 No.1,2.
Re-learning some old gems from decades gone by that have gathered dust. Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, Chopin's Bb Minor Scherzo, the Minute Waltz. Mostly still memorized, but my technique on them is quite frightful. It's back to 1/2 speed until I can get them back under my fingers properly.
Tomorrow night. 8pm in Sydney.
Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosen on Themes of Weber
Tchaikovsky B flat minor concerto with the 19-year-old Paula Yu as soloist - remarkable.
And then Eroica after the interval.
Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic is conducted by Ron Prussing.
And I can tell you, playing 1st violin in the Beethoven - there is very little rest in 45 minutes of playing. You're practically worn out after the first movement alone.
Will look forward to a restorative bottle of wine afterwards, that's for sure.
cheers,
G
Planning on "Rage Over A Lost Penny" in two weeks after my final. Not able to play more serious piece yet. So far, work ok with Fur Elise, and a short excerpt from Dvorak's new world symphony. Kindergarden level for now, hopefully, when I have more time to practice, this awkward skill will improve some.
Brahms - Intermezzo in E flat major, op. 117 no. 1
Faure - Barcarole no. 4 in A flat major, op. 44
Roy Harris - Prelude from Piano Sonata, op. 1
Pierre Lantier - Sicilliene for Alto Saxophone and Piano
Music I plan on learning next semester:
Brahms - Intermezzi in B flat minor and C sharp minor, op. 117 nos. 2 & 3
Roy Harris - Piano Sonata, op. 1 (second mvt.)
Rachmaninov - Etude-Tableaux in D minor, op. 33 no. 4
Nice to find more people who play the piano here, I suppose most of you are musical students?
I'm planning to start on a new Mozart sonata, the only one I've learned so far is K331. I'm considering K282 in E-flat major and K475 in C minor. Right now I'm still polishing a couple of Chopin preludes and the second movement of Beethoven's Moonlight sonata.
I'm currently in the first stages of trying to get into the Violin Concerto by Katchaturian, transcribed for the Flute by the great Jean Pierre Rampal.... I still have lots of work... sigh
I had my jury today, and at my warm-up yesterday I was discussing my repertoire for next semester with my professor. I said that I wanted to finish Brahms' op. 117, which I thought we had agreed on, but he said that I play too much Brahms and that I should play a Classical sonata. So, instead of Brahms, I'm going to learn Mozart piano sonata K333. I'm very disappointed...maybe I'll learn the Brahms on my own...
