Right now I feel as though I only have one piece that fits into this topic

Haydn Concerto Mvt 1.

I can play the rest of it but have mainly only worked that mvt because it is my jury piece this semester. There are a few others which I plan to work up to put into my repitoire before I graduate: Carnival of Venice, Buglers' Holiday (all parts), Der Holle Rache, Goedicke Concert Etude, and a few others.

I know for being a college student that it may seem like I am lacking in the rep. department, but I never really listened to much standard lit before. I always wanted to be a teacher and didn't think it was an important aspect. (boy was I wrong) Thanks to sites like this and TH, I decided to by Haydn over Christmas Break and started working on it and loved it so much that it expanded my horizons from wanting to do Jazz into all forms of music. I played in an orchestra concert a week ago and never really cared about orchestra before this semester. My attitude to music has matured so much these past few months, and I seriously contribute that to finding what else is out there, with the help of the Haydn Concerto showing me that classic lit can be fun to play.
