<p>Hey, what songs are you guys going to include on your CD? I was thinking about:
1)Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit
2)Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu
3)I played Rach II and III but both my recordings have symphony orchestras in the background. Do you think it would be ok if I included that?
4)Lizst's La Campanella</p>
<p>Should I include anything else? Or eliminate something? Thanks.</p>
<p>errr wats this CD for...
I dunno about the ctiteria but I woudl replace chopi's Fantasie with a Waltze or Mazurka.
Whatever happenned to baroque and classical. U r focusing way too much on the comtemporary</p>
<p>You know what you should play? Play Mario Bros. Themesongs...yeah, it's pretty challenging too!!!!</p>

<p>You MUST try this.</p>
<p>Um...no. I'm just trying to show some challenging music. I could include some Profkiev or something. Ok, I played Rach II at Carnegie Hall so I have that recording. But, what other songs should I include?</p>
<p>Howabout Dr. Mario....Isn't this shizzle challenging?</p>
<p>^ I think you're a little too obsessed with that whole mario thing.</p>
<p>if you know how to play rach 2 and rach 3 well, then you are absolutely brilliant, and you should be applying to julliard, not a regular college or university.</p>
<p>Are you actually curious or are you just trying to brag about being a good pianist? Because you're coming off really cocky and full of yourself. Watch out for that.</p>
<p>If yo' pimpin ass, can play thashiznat, i'll give you 5 g's.</p>
<p>Cadillac on 22's</p>
<p>many people play rach 2 or 3, not many play it well tho</p>
<p>haha Rachmaninov sounds good...add some Khachaturian for zest :)</p>
<p>yeah make sure tha rach is good. I told u if u want some challenging music, Chopin is pretty good. U could also try a tchaikovsky</p>
<p>Uh, dude. Shut up on the bragging thing. I was just trying to convey what kind of music I played so that when people recommended selections, they would understand what and what not I could play. Christopherson, when I applied to college this year, I auditioned for Juilliard and was accepted. However, I was rejected from Columbia so I couldn't do their dual program. I want to see whether I have chances at some other great schools where I can apply both academic and music skills.</p>
<p>i'd keep one of the 4 and drop the rest... its too similar</p>
<p>if you can only play romantic music, no matter how well, it won't be a top impression</p>
<p>add a bach partita/suite or concerto, and perhaps a mozart or modern piece such as schoenberg or even adams</p>
<p>play "mary had a little lamb"-back to basics i say
after all, u wanna be set apart from the mindless herd of other "brilliant" rach 2& 3 players, dont u???
didnt think so
nm then, go do whatever
like i care, really</p>
<p>well it wouldn't be a decent performance if you didn't play any gershwin</p>
<p>the mario piano player appears as though MIT would love him. Along with playing video game music to entertain the students, I'm sure he would be a wonderful addition to MIT's 26 Anime Clubs. </p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>haha...Hilarious.</p>
<p>The Rach and the Fantasie Impromptu are both romantic. There is certainly a certain kind of technique in the Chopin, but I suspect they will be looking also for a more restrained technique, such as some Mozart. Without something like that, some might think it's a bit razzle-dazzle.</p>
<p>I, personally, love Gaspard de nuit. It will certainly show off you ability to interpret the music. But again, while to some of this, it is the soul of the pianist that shines brightest, it's not always what those who judge are seeking. Bach is trickier than Beethoven and Mozart is in many ways trickier than Bach. Are you comfortable with any of these?</p>
