Niels Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhowitzer Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 .. 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhowitzer Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockoley Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have the Alfred Masterwork book aswell, and I agree that its a great addition to by collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboehazzard Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The Bach definately. I love that prelude. It's so dramatic. And then the Nocturne opus 9 no. 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_is_D Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 - Andante from Opus 13 Sonata number 8 (PATHETIC) I love that, it reminds me of a certain video game music I heard :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
