: You know, Marko, when I performed on stage, I learned by trial and error to always start with an up-tempo piece. You must be careful not to make your audience sleepy at the beginning. That's why I would suggest putting K 206 (it is a very beautiful sonata, indeed)later in your program. Start off your concert with a rousing piece that will have the audience spellbound, like K 421. Now, there's a sonata, filled with terrific energy, that sounds like DS had an orchestra in mind when he wrote it. It is very impressive, for the performer and the listener, right at the start. Wake them up and have them begging for more.

Hi, Stephen!

Thanks for Your suggestion! Since I don't play K. 421(say, this piece would sound great to me on guitar(or two guitars, You should know better than me what would be possible!). Tutti at the ouverture of each half sounds like an orchestra, yes, indeed, but all the rest is so guitaristic to me, am I wrong?)what do You think if I start with K. 227? With it's first half so misterious(not to make the public sleepy, but curious!) and the storm in the second half which will the public away! Wow, what was that, Thay'd say!!! So, like that, I have everything in one single piece! I do not like to put all my cards on the table by starting off with a rousing piece(by the way, for me, the most "rousing sonata to make spellbound the audience"-I like Your expression, is K. 124!). K. 337 sounds good to me to terminate the concert! Earlier, I started the other recitals with K. 514(very dangerous, I am a person with fingers that wakes up later, that's why I prefere starting off with a slow sonata. Like a monster sleeping all the time, but one time dressed and on march...), one time with K. 175(if it doesn't wake up the audience, nothing will!), and my "last sonatas" recital with K. 441(not bad), but I prefere however putting those later, a little bit scared to ruine them. I terminate usually with (K. 24 one time!) K. 337(K. 555 makes the circle complete very, very well too, You guess!). I like to profite of my warm and fast(Chris! :-) )fingers at the end! any other suggestion will make me a lot of pleasure! Thanks again!

Marko
