A Newly Updated Plan

November 8, 2005 at 9:56 PM

Hello everyone, do you remember my post about my 4 year plan, well, I've done a lot of revamping of the plan, really the only thing that looks similar is Freshmen and Sophmore year, but even those have changed slightly. For the most part I am giving myself more time on pieces so I can learn them thouroughly with memorization. This of course is still under constant revision, but it is coming closer to the ideal set-up or repetoire for me and my teacher agrees on the order of concertos. I will not be doing a sonata and a showpiece every new set of repetoire, at least during these 1st 2 years, it will bascially be one or the other for the most part. Any critiquing is welcome. BTW, I know there are some pieces that I am missing from this list, but I will have a lifetime in which to learn things like Symphonie Espagnol, the Veuxtemps concertos, Barber concerto, Paganinni concertos, and many others.

2 Hora Staccato Dinicu-Heifetz

This list does not include etudes, the Paganini Caprices or scales since things of this nature are generally decided on an as needed basis. Things of course can be moved around and pieces can be added or subtracted but I wish to maintain this order for concertos with the exception of adding in Mozart Concertos and other more modern works.

Note: Jr., Sr., and beyond years are marked 1 and 2 to indicate a period generally 6-12 months in length to prepare entire concertos and other pieces for recitals, and auditions. I plan to play the Dvorak Violin Concerto, Chausson Poeme, and the C-Major Bach for Grad School Auditions.
