Pieter Smal Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well, I need a Piano Concert Piece. Something Young, new and fresh Next year in July I want to audition for a concerto solo with the *** Philharmonic. I need... a SMASHING piano concert piece! Not a movement from a concerto, but a solo concert piece. Young, new and fresh! And difficult! The Piano part musn't be TOO difficult (as I don't have ages to practise it) but not to easy either! The orchestration should not be for the LSO quality (don't run away and this every player is a virtuoso!) but it should be fun. The main theme MUST be memorable - the piece's total lenght must be around 7-12 minutes. Not too short but not too long either! Fun and original rhythms, chords and colour would delight me! Also, this piece must be attract the common ear - or modern ear - or it must be a smash with the common man. The piece must be finished by the end of January so that I can have time to practise my solo part. Asked too much? It is possible! A fun and liveley piece! Alas, I can't audition for my own composition but you can write me a piece! Good Luck! Pieter Smal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperboy2000 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 By next July my Piano Sonata in C should be very completed (probably through several versions by then)... if you are interested I can keep you posted on its progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Unclear... do you want a concert piece for solo piano alone, that is... to be played in CONJUNCTION with a concerto piece? Meaning... no orchestra. Just a piano piece. OR, did you mean you want just a standalone piano PLUS orchestra piece? In other words, that's basically a concerto. But you said not a movement from a concerto. So explicate, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferkungamabooboo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If you're not looking for a period piece, take a look at my piano piece in my signature, "Wouldn't It Be Nice." It's short though, but it's got some cool melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Smal Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Well... a piece for PIANO AND ORCHESTRA! Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James H. Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yes, that does help. :) Now, do you know what the orchestra is like? Is it a professional orchestra? Is it a youth philharmonia? Are there any instruments missing from their ensemble do you know, like bass trombone, tuba, cor angais, contrabassoon, saxophone, marimba, timpani? A professional orchestra should have these all available. Is the orchestra large? Small? 8 first violins? 16 first violins? 1 bass? 8 basses? 2 flutes? 4 flutes? 2 horns? 4 horns? 5? 8? Is a euphonium player on the roster? Harpist? 2? It would REALLY benefit to know all this as best as humanly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
