Are you musically cultured?

Posted by Warrickneff - May 30th, 2009


I really enjoy the style and sound of romantic character pieces for the piano. Definition.

I'll post links to some songs that I have played in the past and enjoyed.

This is a Chopin etude, Opus 25 no.1.
I played this piece for entrance into my university music program. I can't play it as well as Rubinstein, but I really enjoy it nonetheless.

.

I learned about this set of pieces through my music history class that I took. I think that this is probably one of the best versions on youtube. I really enjoy the feeling that the first and third piece evoke. They're only about 40 seconds and 80 seconds each.

.

I also played these two pieces for my audition, I had another two pieces in there as well, but I can't find a very good performance. These are on par to how well I play them. Pretty good, but not perfect. Scriabin 24 preludes, Op. 11 no.10,14.

.
/* */
SO. After all of that, What I'm basically looking for is someone to help me in my search for more repetoire to play, that's similar but different at the same time.

Difficulty is NOT something that I'm terribly worried about. The final Scriabin prelude is a Grade 10 or ARCT piece under the Royal Conservatory, and the other pieces are all ranked around Grade 9 or so. Anything more difficult will be a challenge but I think I'm up to it.

I guess you don't have to be musically cultured to respond to my request, and you can be musically cultured without having the ability to help me, but I still think it's a good way to ask for help.

Why can't be musically cultured without listening to classical music?
I think people hold classical music a bit to highly.
