Stephen,

: Are you working on any for an upcoming performance?

Not yet, but I'm beginning to look for some difficult ones for my recital at grad school. I have a very hard time deciding which sonatas to play. There's so many to choose from!

The factors will be:
(1) How many I'll be playing
(2) How well they fit together
(3) Difficulty (this *is* grad school)
(4) How well I like the Sonata
(5) How well I think others will like the Sonata
(6) How well I think I interpret the Sonata
(7) How well my interpretation matches that of my teacher
(8) How appalled my teacher will be when he finds out I was using pedal... heehee.

Maybe I'm overcomplicating things, but I want to bring Scarlatti across well. For my senior recital last year, I played K. 141, K. 481, and K. 53 (in that order). My professor and I disagreed heavily on the interpretation of K. 53, and I became very disappointed with my choice of that sonata, because I couldn't bring out certain things I heard in the sonata. Oh well, when in Rome...

I hope to chat with you soon!
