<p>Hey guys, I am an internatinoal applicat from Europe (Austria) , and I play the piano. I'm just wondering if its necessary for me to have a supplement? They requre 2 contrasting style, but my selection was
1) Rachmanioff prelude 3.2
2) Chopin etude 25.2
not that contrasting in techniques, you guys think its fine?
I have been playing for 8-9 years but I haven't competed anywhere, I have just had some small concerts which I attended, but I preformed a piece in an event in Germany.
It probably isn't the most important part of my application, but I don't know, it feels I should and maybe shouldn't send the music app.
Any opinions?
THanks.</p>

<p>I see nothing on Harvard’s Admissions website that states that you have to submit two contrasting style pieces. Perhaps you have been looking a music performance schools where that is often a requirement.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Hat, on the commonapp music supplement paper, it requires one to have two pieces of contrasting technique and expression, so yea…Maybe not the Harvard website but I def read it somewhere else too.
After reading some threads on CC I became more hesitant on whether i shall submit a music supplement or not. I have no idea how good the US state level or national level is but from the pieces they perform I think they are quite hard, but then, musical expression is another story.
I don’t have any awards nor have I played in an orchestra, I just play for myself and I go to a teacher, then I sometimes get asked to perform locally. Do you guys have any opinions regarding my circumstances?</p>
<p>anyone any opinions?</p>
