Shiloh Phoenix Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Ensemble: Cheetham Scherzo Solo: Hindemith tuba sonata all movements. I still can't find an accompanist good enough to play the piano part. I swear, it's got to be the hardest piano piece I've ever seen in my life. Quote

artishard Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Quote The Heiden sonata is HARD to play all the way through, pretty high tessitura. Personally, the 3rd movement is one of my favorite things ever. my favorite movement is the second movement, because of that weird weird weird loud part. it's so challenging to play well, that it makes it fun. heiden can be hard, i was playing it all the way though, and if i just practice until the competition, i know i can at least handle it. my teacher handed me villanelle last year, i decided i wanted to do strauss since no one else was doing it,and next year i'm looking at En Foret.... hah, we'll see.

Keyboard_Countessa Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Our Solo & Ensemble contest was last week. All three percussion ensembles got a I, and I even managed to get a I on my solo. But 3 weeks ago I was freaking out over my solo and getting so stressed that I even considered dropping it. But thanks to some encouragement from my band director I stuck w/ it and practiced twice as hard, and it was so totally worth it. Quote

ClaireAnnette07 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 My solo: Sonate Nr. 3 by Brahms Ensemble: J.S. Bach and Sons' 4 movements (I'm not sure if the actual ensemble has a name-we just call it the Bach Ensemble) Quote
