treehugger1995 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 So, what is your favorite musical repertoire for your principle instrument? I play oboe, and I have to say, without a doubt, Ralph Vaughan Williams' Oboe Concerto here are the three movements in order. Rondo Pastorale, Minuet and Mussette, and Scherzo It's amazing!! and what I love a lot is that the peak (or what seems like a peak to me) in the third movement is pp. It's quiet but rich. So tell me! your instrument you favorite repertoire for the instrument (feel free to post more than one) and if possible, a link so I can hear it!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojar Voglar Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have never really mastered piano to concert level, but there are a couple of works I have learned to be proud off. Recently I am active as a choral singer. Here are some of my favourite compositions we recorded: Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst Sergei Rachmaninov: Bogoroditse Ambrož Čopi: Eno drevce - dedicated to us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ink Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hmmmm.... It's hard to find an amazing piece for trumpet. However, these are pretty good: - All movements are really well done, I just love this one in particular. - Short and sweet, gotta love Bernstein!I like the stuff that most people don't play. There's nothing cooler in my opinion than introducing audiences to new music! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmulligan3 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I play clarinet and I would have to say in terms of contemporary music I think John Corigliano's concerto is amazing but ridiculously hard. Here's a link to the 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monique.bliss10 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I really wanna play piano because it's very relaxing when I play this. I just knew few piano songs and this would really help me a lot to improve me in this kind of instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfreestyle224 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I play viola, and I would have to say that the Bartok Viola Concerto is the best out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchdork02 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 For viola my favorite piece that I've worked on is Schubert's "Arpeggione" sonata in A minor. It was originally written for an instrument called the arpeggione, now obsolete, and later arranged for viola and cello. As far as works originally for viola, I love Schumann's Marchenbilder, which I've never played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 There are many great trombone pieces. I've always been partial to Guilmant's Morceau Symphonique, but even that isn't greatly idiomatic to the instrument. There's a lot worse out there, however. Like Rimsky-Korsakov's Trombone Concerto.

jsands Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 For classical guitar, probably the Suite Espanol by Isaac Albeniz, especially Sevilla. Originally for piano, but it's a lot better on guitar. Good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfRLMopjDKA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper81 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am all about the Debussy Cello Sonata. Someday I'll have to find a pianist to play it with. The Shostakovich sonata is lovely too, but I can't play it to save my life. One of these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 For classical guitar I love " La Catedral" by Barrios. The third movement is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 and Liszt's Transcendental Etude No. 10 are my personal favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My piano solo favourites are: C Debussy's "Nr.11 Pour les arpèges composes" : Philip Glass' "Piano Etude no. 6" : John Maul's "Fly Free": Although this is a piano concerto I absolutely love it's "Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini" : This piece is for a strings, it's beautiful, Yiruma's "Flowers We Are" : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.fseventsd Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 michael finnissy's A History of Photography in Sound with ensemble, i've always been a fan of berio's Points on the curve to find... (there were also some good earlier pieces by e.g. bach, beethoven and cage, but they weren't technically written for the same instrument) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
