It calls strongly my attention so many interventions here by pianists claiming long years of experience and advanced levels of performance, but needing help to choose repertoire. I find it a bit contradictory. Could someone explain why it happens? Why they don`t know enough music to choose from?
If they lack of some teacher`s advice, here is my own`s: (1) they should listen a lot of recorded music, methodically; the great composers for example, don`t fails; to get piano music in CD`s and through the free audio files available in Internet. (2) To read biographies and commentaries about the works of their favorite composers. So it should emerge gradually a personal list of candidate pieces. It works well for me, since my only worry now is to live long enough as to learn all the pieces I want to play.
