HSC Music 2 Exam Thoughts (3 Viewers)

[saltedparsley]

thank you haha
I really enjoyed elective comp, my topic was 1900-1945. Just worried because even though i got 98 internally, i can't predict how my comps will be received by the markers. but accelerating was good because otherwise, i would be doing 4 major works next year.
and yes, i'm looking at music ext! still choosing repertoire.

oh nice i did same extra topic as you then
and 98 internals is really good congrats
4 majors is crazy but less/shorter exams in some cases so maybe it's worth it? idk

what instrument do you play? i did ext performance and i wasn't very good unfortunately but ensemble was definitely fun

if i could choose again i defo wouldn't have done performance elective for both mu2 and ext, too many pieces in too little time on top of ameb and all that

Repertoire recommendations for Music Ext:
1. Scarbo
2. Prokofiev Toccata
3. Bach Ricercar no 6

If you do non-piano, do a transcription of these. If you play like Tsuji last Saturday, ENCORE concert SElecTion guaranteed.

i wish i could have seen tsuji! also, i saw the prok toccata at encore this year. its a bit repetitive imo.
so far my choices are:
michael kieran karvey Pink Nautilus
rachmaninoff cello sonata 3rd mov
bach bwv 944 fantasia and fugue

yeah i picked elective comp for music 2 this year because my ameb rep would get in the way if i chose performance elective.
i play piano (lmusa) and violin (grade 7)
