Hi everyone! I have read through lots of other college audition threads, but decided to be specific with one of my own

I'm currently getting ready for some college auditions, and I have been mainly working on the Bach Sonata #2 in E flat, concentrating on the first two movements. My instructor said this would provide the contrast that most colleges are looking for. However, I've found one extra school I would like to audition for, but they specifically ask for 2 Contrasting pieces. I'm at a loss for what I should do. Any suggestions? Should I get rid of the Bach Sonata all together and start with 2 new pieces? (I've actually become pretty fond of this piece, compared to the Quantz Concerto in G Major that was suggested to me at one point, which I have learned.)

Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Well, you don't need to get rid of both movements, but I would suggest finding something else that can contrast with whichever you choose to keep. There's no reason to start from scratch when you don't have to. It would also be a good idea to choose a piece from a different era (perhaps a Romantic or 20th Century piece) to show that you can work within different styles of music (this would probably be a good idea even for the schools that don't request anything specific). Be careful with the Bach (or any other Baroque work) to play it properly, though...There are special rules one must follow when playing a piece from this time period (such as being sure to start trills on the upper note, etc.), and failing to do so can make a big (negative) impression on judges. Make sure that whatever you choose, it shows off your strengths without revealing your weaknesses too much, and that you're comfortable with it (and can play it very well regardless of circumstances) by the time the auditions roll around. You didn't mention when you have to begin auditioning, but if you have until the spring, learning a new piece/movement shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

How about doing a movement from Poulenc's Sonate?
