Re: Stravinsky for NYSSMA All-State

I did discuss the Stravinsky selection for All-State with my son's teacher. He suggested a few other pieces that my son had worked on and also the Stravinsky. He is confident that my son could learn this piece and play it well, or else he would not have suggested it. As some of you mentioned, his teacher also pointed out to me that with the Stravinsky you cannot hide behind the piano part, and therefore, if my son played it perfectly he would really wow the judges. Ultimately, it is my son's decision as to what piece he wants to play.

I was only using this message board as a place to gather opinions from people who know much more about music than I do. These postings were not meant as a sign of disrespect or lack of confidence in my son's teacher, who I am sure has my son's best interests at heart.
