Next week at the 6th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, I've submitted the following pieces to perform:
Preliminary: 10-12 min
S. Rachmaninoff, Moments Musicaux Op. 16 No. 2 (3')
I. Albeniz, El Albaicin from Iberia Vol. 3 (8')
Semifinal: 16-20 min.
J. S. Bach, Well-Tempered Clavier Vol. 1, No. 3, BWV848 C sharp major, Prelude and Fugue (5')
A. Scriabin, Sonata No. 10, Op. 70 (13')
Final: 25-30 min.
L. v. Beethoven, Piano Sonata No. 29, Op. 106, 4th movement (12')
F. Liszt, Reminiscences of Don Juan (16')
Among these six pieces, only two pieces are actually competition-ready ones, i.e. Albeniz and Scriabin, and other four not... nonetheless they are the pieces I cherish and at least I have the "view of the world" in each which are grandiose.
Critical is to what extent I can enjoy my own performance at a great stage set for us.
