My piano teacher is doing a really cool thing with me. She told me to pick 10 piano concertos that I thought best represented the development of the genre, tell her why I think each piece is so great, and then we are going to start working on all of them. There's no way one could sum up this genre in 10 pieces. After talking with some piano major friends of mine for some direction, here's the ones I picked... Mozart's Concerto No. 20 in D minor Beethoven's Concerto No. 3 in C minor Liszt's Concerto No. 2 in A major Brahms' Concerto No. 1 in D minor Tchaikovsky's Concerto in Bb minor Op. 23 Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 in C minor Prokofieff's Concerto No. 2 in G minor Ravel's Concerto pour la main gauche Schoenberg's Concerto Op. 42 Bartok's Concerto No. 3 The thing is, I know all of these (and not just these) pieces are great. I want to learn as much as I can about these pieces before I start playing them. I have my own ideas about each of them, but I'm just wondering what you all think...maybe you will say something that I haven't considered. Thanks for all of your help! I hope you have a wonderful day! :D
