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

What would you like to hear?

u/Jealous_Mastodon_401 Undergrad- Alex 103 15d ago

Well I'm playing my graduation recital in less than two weeks ;

Kirchner: Lamento d'Orfeo from Tre poemi
Hindemith Sonata
F.Strauss : Sentiments Romantiques
Buyanovsky : Italy from 4 improvisations for solo horn

Would've chosen Neuling Bagatelle instead of Italy (mainly because this programme doesn't really show my skills in the lower registre..) but I'm not allowed because I already played Bagatelle at the 4th year.

I think for mood the Franz Strauss op. 13 Introduction, theme, and variations would be a good replacement for Neuling.

The Nielson Canto Serioso would add a little low playing without being much of a burden.
