I retake my DipABRSM in this August,I choose this 4 repertoires,hope all of U can give me some advice.I will be appreciate of it!

1. Mozart-sonata in D K311/284c (app.17mins)
2. JS Bach-The Well Tempered Clavier,Prelude in Fugue F sharp minor(app.4mins)
3.Schubert-Impromtu D 899 in G flat major(app.6mins)
4.Debussy-La plus que lente(app.4mins)

Please give me some advice,thanks!

What's the energy level required for each?
Maybe you should move the 17 minute block a bit later in the programme so that it doesn't drain you to start with?

start with the bach first...then mozart....

Playing the pieces chronologically is one approach - the other is to find some kind of emotional arc in the pieces so that your listener isn't on some kind of see-saw.
Make sure you finish well - I played my programme chronologically more or less, but started with the 20th century pieces -basically because I didn't feel that that was the sound I wanted to leave people with - I left that to Debussy.

Whatever order you choose, make sure that you can discuss it - class Viva question!

my repetorie list is as follow:

J.S. Bach: Prelude in F# minor
W.A. Mozart: Sonata in B flat (K.570)
S. Rachmaninoff: Prelude in G# minor
R. Schumann: Das Abend, Aufschwung

i need to start quite than finish dramatically....that suits me....

Hey agnescyy,
I somehow am in the habit of choosing a piece from each period. The 4 major periods that are there. Though i am going to take my first DipABRSM exam this year, i somehow think if we stick to the distinct periods of music, it will not only maintain the chronology, but it will also bring out the difference in the different periods of music.
Best of Luck,

I believe the Diploma requirement (as opposed to LRSM and FRSM) positively encourages selecting from a range of styles and periods. This isn't to say that you'll get rapped on the knuckles for not including a bit of baroque, but you do need to ensure some variety.
In the later exams you can opt to concentrate more on a particular composer or period.

Nice pieces, but all a bit safe. Drop either the Schubert or Debussy and do something much more modern, or at least, off the beaten track.

I'd say you should definitely switch the Bach and the Mozart.

This is my repertoire list so far for the DipABRSM.

J.S Bach - Toccata E Minor BWV 914
G. Faure - Barcarolle A Minor No.1 Op.26
D. Shostakovich - Preludes 3 & 11 from 24 Preludes Book Op.34

I will probably have to put another piece as I don't think this will be long enough for the recital. I would either learn a classical piece or perhaps the 2 Gershwin pieces from the syllabus.

I do play a lot of Gershwin anyway despite Shostakovich is a modern piece and Gerhswin would also be this, their styles are very different as Gershwin is more jazz based. I am hoping to do the DipABRSM in the winter this year.

Any suggestions for an additional piece?

I have no time to change other song,because my exam is held in August.I just only can change the Debussy's La plus que lente to Bela Bartok mikrokosmos.but the timing is too short.that is Y I change to Debussy.so,the recital part is around 30 mins,rite?
