Re: Degree Recitals

At most institutions you are allowed to choose your own works, but with your teacher's approval - thus what institution you attend may have more of an effect than what year you attended. There are, of course, other considerations. I was the first to perform Britten's Temporal Variations at my conservatory because it was published posthumously and hadn't been "discovered" yet.

Some institutions have lists from which students must choose, but most of those end with "or equivalent selection" so I suspect they are really the same - student choice with teacher approval. Also, most places have a length requirement - 55 minutes at conservatories and most major music schools, but I have seen requirements of 35 minutes listed.

Second request: I'm getting many more replies from recent grads than older ones. Could some of you out there ask your teachers what they played on their recitals (grad and undergrad) and either hand out my email address or forward that information on to me? I'd really like to go back a few decades, as programs seem to have shifted dramatically between the early '80s and now.

Thanks,
Linda
