| I ended up doing way too much for my first recital: Brandt "Concertpiece #2", Copland "Quiet City", Bozza "Caprice", Hindemith "Sonata", and Clarke "From The Shores of the Mighty Pacific". I made it through, but the Clarke(last piece I played) ended up not being real pretty, if you know what I mean. I guess I am trying to give you a bit of advice to try not to do too much for that first recital. This goes along the same lines as Billy.
Might I suggest the 1st and/or second mvts from the Haydn or Hummel. You could also look at doing some etudes(Charlier, Vannetelbosch, etc). A tuba friend of mine played something from the Rochut book for his recital and it sounded fine.
Good luck with whatever you choose and have fun with it. Recitals can be very rewarding experiences, if you let them. |
