For my A Level performance I need a contrasting programme of about 15 minutes and I was planning on playing Reinecke's Undine Sonata (1st movement) and Honegger's Danse de la Chèvre. However this is too short so I was planning to add Hindemith's flute sonata (1st movement).
The problem is I'm not sure wondering if this combination is contrasting?
Do you think it is varied enough to show a range of playing styles or if it is all too similar in style/period etc?
I don't have too long to learn a new piece but are there any suggestions if this is not okay?
Thanks,
Jess
Generally, for auditions and exams, it's a good idea to show varied styles and periods in your repertoire. You want to include both a slow and a fast piece, something technical and something lyrical. In your case all of your music is 20th century. It would be nice to include a baroque or classical piece to show your mastery of different period works.
