On Saturday, I listened to YAP's Dochnanyi Rhaposdie and made some helpful (I hope) comments that I emailed back to him. They were very helpful, thanks  . One or two things I knew about, but being lazy I thought I'd see if I could get away with it without anyone noticing  . Plenty of things I didn't notice too. Oh, and I agree that slow playing works well . PJ: you could always submit something to the recordings site then we could all make comments  . |

I'm wondering the same. I've listened to various people singing performancees and given them crits. I've answererd theory questions and so on.
I can advise about programmes when it comes to post Grade 8 Piano but that's when it stops.
If anyone is interested, my proposed programme for LRSM is
Handel : Tecum Principium - Dixit Dominus
Piangero (+ recit) Guilio Cesare
Purcell: Mad Bess
Humfrey: Hymne to God the FAther
Sullivan: Orpheus with his Lute
Brahams: Botshaft
Britten: O Waly Waly
Verdi: Caro Nome
The emphasis on english song is deliberate.
I know there is no Classical Work
I know the only caveat to the 20th Century is and English Folk Song Arrangement.
But it does work as a programme.

Hopefully Chistmas. Most of the programme is already learnt, or will be by September as its in my English Song Concert programme. (Though not the Handel or Sullivan) . I've got to crack on with Caro nome and Botschaft though they are comming on a lot.
I particularly want to do the Humfrey, a) according to Peter Dennison (the Humfrey Guru) it was originally written for treble, so I'm doing it in its original key, and b) my undergraduate dissertation was about Humfrey and Matthew Locke's String Verse Anthems.
Back to Petitejoueuse dillema. Why don't you make a feature in your programme notes about the born in 1810 brigade's diversity of style.
You will probably be asked why no Classical piece. A good answer would be that you were looking more at the balance of the programme, and that a complete Mozart Sonata would a) bring you overtime and b) unbalance the programme.

petite Jeunesse, you have had lots of good advice both here and at the "other place",
looking at the syllabus the pieces to keep are: the Scarlatti, Shostakovich and Gershwin, but if you take out the chopin Schumann and Mendlessohn you do have room for a whole sonata. Why not look at one of the Schubert Sonatas as you will then have a piece that bridges the classical and romantic periods. There's even a recording by mitsuko Uchito of both so that you can have a listen before you buy the sheet music.
D537 takes 18 minutes to perform, which gives you 12 minutes for the rest + 3 for breaks (the +/- 10%)
