Know anything about French Masters of the 20th Century?!
Question: Know anything about French Masters of the 20th Century!?
For my A level recital I am going to be looking at the differing styles of the 20th Century Composers and Masters!. I have to make it without making it seem to samey as it goes through, hence the differing styles!. So I have a few pieces, but not yet enough!. Below is what I have so far:
Claude Debussy - Golliwog's Cakewalk!. [Jazz or ragtime influence]
Maurice Ravel - Sonatine, second movement [heavy impressionism]
Claude Debussy - Menuet from petite suite [Duet]
Darius Milhaud - Sorocaba [Franco-Brazilian Tango]
I think there may have been another but I can't remember lol!.
But as you can see needing 20 minutes worth, I'm a bit short! So any ideas are really appreciated, if you give options please give reasons and how you could catagorise it as different to others!. For piano, grade 6 minimum!. Up to grade 8!.
Thanks in advance =]
