I've been looking at conservatories, UC, and Cal state schools and I've been wondering what would good pieces to play be. My teacher said I should easily be able to get into any of the cal state music programs and I'm at an intermediate almost advanced level. What worries me about the audition process is that I've only had a few months of lessons I've only been playing for about four years and I have braces. Pieces that I have been considering are Bouree Anglaise by Bach, Menuet and Spirit dance by Gluck, and possible Soir Dans Les Montagnes by Eugene Bozza.

I do need to start looking for these pieces:a

1) Any of the sonatas of J.S. Bach or Mozart concerto in G or D.
2) Sonatas: Hindemith, Piston, Martinu, or Poulenc, or a sonata of equivalent difficulty.
3) Pieces: Chaminade Concertino, Fauré Fantasie, Enesco Cantabile and Presto, or a piece of equivalent difficulty

For the San Francisco Conservatory so if anyone has these in their libraries and could e-mail copies that would be great because money is tight.

I'm not one to advocate for emailing pieces, but I do have a suggestion if money is tight. The last 3 pieces you listed are in the "flute music by french composers". You should definantly pick this book up, it will last you forever. Another thing is to buy the music in collections (for example, Galway has a collection out that has a good range of difficulty). Good luck!

I have a book that my teacher loaned me that has all three of those pieces mentioned in #3, it's a book of french flute music. I performed the fantasie a few times six months or so ago. The book is called Flute Music by French Composers, edited by Louis Moyse. if you're looking for something of equal difficulty, i'm playing a piece right now that is part of a suite of three, it's called just Flute Sonata in C by Otar Taktakishvili. He's russian. hahaha. I'm learning the third movement, but the first is really good also.
