DIT piano audition

    Have an audition in April for DIT conservatory of music and drama (Ireland) and need two contrasting pieces of grade 8 standard or higher.I have already chosen Beethoven sonata no.27 op.90 2nd movement which i can play already and thinking of doing each prelude op.3 no 2 in c sharp minor.

    Do you pianists think these would be good enough ?? Thinking of learning Bach French suite no 4 (air) as an alternative to Rach, yeno to show two different styles of music ?

    Any advice would be much appreciated!:)

    I wouldn't personally choose a late Beethoven sonata to go with the Rachmaninoff. The Bach might be a better choice than the prelude if your heart is set on Beethoven (and I do love the op 90 myself!). Bach is also a solid core to any pianists repertoire, and it's never a bad idea to play some of his music in any kind of audition.

    Best of luck whatever you choose! Just remember it's better to play pieces that you know inside out and can play convincingly than one you've been cramming for an audition
