Suggestion for piano competition pieces
I'm entering one of my student for competition and she's 9 yo. It requires 2 pieces with max 10 mins time. I'm thinking to select 2 pieces from different period. One is from classical, like Clementi op. 36 (not sure which number is the best for competition) and another one is from Romantic era, like Schumann's Kinderszenen. Do any of you have suggestion pieces? Thanks

I think Clementi's Sonatina Op.36 No.6 is the most valuable.
Then - forgive my excessive interest for what I have retypeset - I would recommend the Nocturne No.2 here: http://imslp.org/wiki/4_Nocturnes,_Op.8 ... be,_Louis)
I requires some pedalling and the r.h. leaps of meas. 17 and similar are rather showy.
