I would like to get some advice on a national audition that I am planning to
enter. I am in the initial stages of selecting the program that I would like
to perform, but I'd like anyone's advice as to which pieces are best for it.
The requirements are:

An etude or a movement of an unaccompanied work.

The opening or closing movement of a major concerto.

Two contrasting works or movements - one must be a 20th century composition
by an American composer (excluding orchestral excerpts).

The competetion is for young artists and I have worked on and performed both
von Weber Concertos, the von Weber Concertino, several French "Solos de
Concours" and a little of the Mozart Concerto (just to name a few). Any
advice would be greatly appreciated soon because I'm going to be purchasing
music soon and I'd like to get this program asap.

Thanks

Adam Lewis
