Hello Everyone,
I have a question about audition repertoire for conservatories. I'm a junior in high school and I am starting to decide my college repertoire. I'm in sort of a dilema, or so I think. My ultimate dream school for me is Curtis (of course). Right now the repertoire that I was thinking of doing is:
Gaubert Noctorne et Allegro Scherzando
Dutilleux Sonatine
Ibert Concerto (maybe)
Bach Sonata EM
Mozart Concerto in G
I know I don't necessarily need all of the repertoire, but some schools require different things so that's why there's so many pieces. Now for Curtis I know Khaner is basically a technical junkie (yes I know you have to have a fabulous tone and musicality also). So I was wondering do you think it would hurt my chances of getting into Curtis if I were to play the Dutilleux, Gaubert, and Bach instead of something technically harder? My teacher (Tadeu Coelho) would like me to play the Ibert Concerto, Jovliet's Chant de Linos and bach or mozart for my auditions because he knows I have wonderful technique and I can handle those pieces. I think that would be great for Curtis but for other schools that i'm auditioning for such as Carneige Mellon with Jeanne Baxtresser, Rice, Eastman, Mannes, Colburn, Oberlin, and Manhattan I think that would be too technique-based. BTW, in no way am I suggesting that I will definetly get into cutis. It is VERY likely that I wll not! So what do you guys think I should do??
