Re: Your favorite piecoe of solo repertoire?

Author: csmith  Date:   2008-08-07 13:13 That's a hard one! I love the Rossini too, but I guess my favorite piece to perform is the Copeland Concerto. The introduction is absolutely exquisite, and the cadenza is a blast. Overall, what a fun piece! The Copeland is followed closely by Debussy's Premiere Rhapsodie, and, though some might think odd, Stravinsky's Three Pieces. I love the Debussy, similar to the Copeland, because of its beauty. Plus it is deceptively difficult and offers a wonderful challenge. And the Stravinsky is simply incredible. I did not develop a great appreciation of that piece until I studied it with Girko. I'm also quite partial to the Poulenc Sonata. And as far as overall "fun factor" it's hard to beat Weber's 2nd, especially for those of us who sometimes have a "need for speed"! Chad Smith
