Type of music for college entrance?

Hi, I would like to know a good piece for a solo piece on the violin that I can use to show my talent on the violin for college entrance. Which music would be appropriate and will show my talents on the violin? I am capable of playing most of the music.

Most music schools actually list what sorts of pieces they want to hear, right on their web pages. They tend to have certain preferences in terms of style and type, so it pays for you to go to their websites and check that out. It may vary by school, as well, so you may need more than one piece, depending. Some schools are pretty broad in their recommendations, but others are fairly specific. Check the web pages, re: auditions, for each of the schools you are considering.



Also, talk to your violin teacher now and see, based on what the schools want, what she recommends. Go to her with some ideas yourself, and see if you can find a piece that will give the schools what they want, and also show you in the best possible light.



Good luck!

Depends on what college. I'm assuming this is for an undergraduate degree? Often they want something like the following:



1. All major and minor scales %26amp; arpeggios;



2. Kreutzer etude, Dont Op. 37 etudes (Op. 35 would be better);



3. First movement of a concerto, Mozart might be okay, Barber would be better. The whole concerto would be better -- the whole concerto from memory better still.



4. Maybe a sonata, Brahms or Beethoven.



Often they will ask for a repertoire list, so it's a good idea to have a hard copy (paper copy) of all the works you're looked at with your teacher, both etudes, scale books and pieces.



Good luck!
i don't know much abt it



but i think u shd select something which shows ur ability, passion and select something u like very much
Symphonie Espanole by Lalo is a good show piece.



Bach E-major concerto (first movement).



The Franck Sonata or Beethoven's Spring Sonata is fine but you better have one heckuva accompanist.



If those are too hard try the middle movement of the Tschaikovsky or "Meditation" from Thais by Massanet.
