lalala Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 For my HSC (NSW leaving certificate) i have to pick four peices to play and be examined on. I have 3 so far but i'm not really sure what the last one should be:(... my teacher said its good to have a large variety between peices and to pick something that different or strange that the markers won't know coz they have to mark performances from the whole state... I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?:)... i think i'm about a 6th grade level The pieces i have so far are: Gigue from partita in B flat Solace by scott joplin ( not the rag one, the slow one in F) An arrangement of Firedance from Riverdance simillar to the one found at YouTube - Firedance -piano arrangement and they can be from any topic except Baroque, thanks so much for any suggestions!

mokka Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Should that be electronic or mechanic pieno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 You can pick something from Byrd: Galliarde 3 Galliarde 10 Both are from "My Ladye Nevells Booke". Alexandros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujimufu Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Normal Dello Joio's suite for piano is quite nice (first movement is short and easy). Or Schnittke's first movement from his Sonata for Piano No.1 (easy to play, but not easy to perform). But you shouldn't play a piece you don't like, otherwise you won't invest in it as much as you could/should, and the performance will not be your best. So, the only person who knows your level of piano and your likes is.. you. So it's entirely up to you - make yourself familiar with a lot of different piano repertoire, and pick a piece you feel like learning :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroMarvel Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Rubinstein's "Barcarolle" . It went over huge for me as an encore piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalala Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Should that be electronic or mechanic pieno? um, i think the final performance will be on a baby grand but my piano teacher also has a harpsichord if i want to use it:) What genre category would Byrd come under?

Qmwne235 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Renaissance, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
