Building a repertoire

Author: Pam H.

Maybe the answer to this question is already on here, but maybe some of you will humor me. I just want to learn more pieces for the sake of doing them and increasing my skill levels.

I play in a church orchestra that plays mostly high school (if that) level of music and a local pops group that plays at a level or two more difficult.

I can play the Mozart reasonably well, but haven't had to bring it totally to performance level.

What other pieces should I try? Any suggestions? This is more for my own enjoyment and growth.

I already have the Klose' and Rose Etude books to "work" out of and have heard Baermann mentioned many times.

Check these out, Pam:

Some works that were not edited by Hite are no longer on the lists, reducing their value so here are a couple other sources.

I suspect you'd like a little shorter list though so here are a few possibilities for someone around your apparent level:

Weber, Concerto No. 1
Rossini, Introduction, Theme and Variations
Brahms, Sonatas No. 1 and 2
Osborne, Rhapsody

Those would keep you busy for awhile. I'm sure others will have many suggestions.

Best regards,
jnk
