REPERTOIRE 2008

Advanced players should aim to bring at least two major works at performance standard, as well as work in progress. All participants will play to both tutors.

Paul Roberts will also take a French Repertoire Class. In addition to the set work for this class (see below) advanced pianists should prepare a major work by Debussy or Ravel, in particular: Debussy Suite bergamasque; Preludes from Books I and II; Images Books I and II; L'isle joyeuse; Ravel Jeux d'eau; Miroirs; Gaspard de la nuit; Le Tombeau de Couperin.

The Intermediate Class will also be taken by both tutors. Participants should bring any pieces with which they are comfortable, and if possible a Chopin Nocturne (see below). We ask that possible repertoire is indicated on the application form, which helps us judge standards and so facilitate arrangements. Changes can be made at any time.

Set Works: The optional set work is Chopin's Nocturnes. The aim this year is to give a concert performance of the complete set. Advanced students are asked to prepare one or more. Some participants in the Intermediate Class will find that several are within their range.
