(BA in Music, BA in Music Education, and BA in Performance)
Please Note:
1 The following list is intended as a pool of choices that can help a very gifted student build strong recital programs. It should not be understood as an attempt to make any particular work mandatory for a given year or to confine larger, fundamental bodies of work (for ex. Beethoven Sonatas, WTC, Chopin or Liszt Etudes) to the scope of two semesters of study. Such monuments of piano literature will continue to be part of the student’s work as long as he/she remains an active pianist.
2 The works listed for the first year, while establishing a minimum standard, can be used to form recital programs of different scope and difficulty and many of them, while still accessible and recommended to very gifted incoming freshmen eager to “cut their teeth”, will be approved for junior and senior recitals if properly prepared, especially in the case of non-performance majors. Stylistic variety and at least one work no shorter than 15 minutes (single or multimovement) will be expected in any program.
3 Performance majors should strive to explore the literature thoroughly and understand that the third and fourth year works listed here represent the standard level of repertoire in any national and international competition open to pianists of their age range. Shorter individual works listed below are intended as examples; they can and should be substituted by comparable pieces whenever the students or teachers so desire.
