July 20, 200619 yr Which two CONTRASTING pieces should I do for my end of year assement? My current repetoire of very fluent, performance standard pieces include CHOPIN - Waltz Opus 69 Number 1 - Waltz Opus 70 Number 1 - Nocturne Opus 9 Number 1 - Nocturne Opus 9 Number 2 - Nocturne Opus 15 Number 3 - Nocturne Opus 37 Number 1 BEETHOVEN: - Adagio con molto espressione (2nd MVT.) from Opus 22 Sonata number 11 - Andante from Opus 13 Sonata number 8 (PATHETIC) BACH: - Prelude and Fuge number 21 DEBUSSY: - Golliwogg's Cakewalk Brahms: - Intermezzo in Am ... well those are the ones im fluent at ... I must chose two CONTRASTING pieces for my assessment at the end of the year I would also be happy if anyone could suggest any other piece for me to learn in this time at around the Grade 6 or 7 AMEB level Thanx :)
July 20, 200619 yr Since I'm partial to Debussy, I'd go with Golliwogg, and the Bach is about as far removed as you can get. As for suggesting a third work, if you're capable of Golliwogg's Cakewalk, you should be able to handle the Serenade for the Doll, another part of the Children's Corner. It's quite lively and fun to play, and also fairly technically demanding. Watch your fingering.
July 21, 200619 yr Author .. i dont really like the impressionist style.. but its not bad... ill give it a go ... you wouldnt happen to have a midi file for this doll thingy would u?
July 21, 200619 yr No, sorry. I do have it in a book, but of course it's illegal to duplicate. The Alfred Masterwork book, which I have, is a good buy and has much more than just the Children's Corner suite.
July 25, 200619 yr I have the Alfred Masterwork book aswell, and I agree that its a great addition to by collection.
July 29, 200619 yr The Bach definately. I love that prelude. It's so dramatic. And then the Nocturne opus 9 no. 2.
August 19, 200619 yr - Andante from Opus 13 Sonata number 8 (PATHETIC) I love that, it reminds me of a certain video game music I heard :D
