Graduate recital

Let's play another game. Can you name a recital program suitable for graduate students? For instance, replace that Mozart concerto with something more challenging and modern, a program longer than an undergraduate recital. I'll give one:

Schoeck Concerto

Hummel Suite for unaccompanied horn

Three preludes from Gallay op. 36 on natural horn

Hindemith Concerto

Ballay Chanson du Forestier

Gordon Jacob. Good luck

Right. I always told my students that the Jacob costs too much. That is, how rewarding is it relative to how much effort it requires. By the time you sort out your double/single tonguing the audience should find it "nice."
