SELECTION OF REPERTOIRE & RECITAL
NPAC recognizes the value of competing students performing materials of similar difficulty. We hope NPAC provides a platform for students at all levels to experience fair competition. We instruct judges judges to rank the excellence of musical understanding and technical preparation at each level and award those achieving the highest standards. Many difficulty levels are available, and each level indicates a particular degree of complexity. Approved materials listed in this bulletin serve as a guide for repertoire selection. These approved pieces may be chosen for NPAC, but the list is limited. Countless piano works are suitable for performance in each category/level. Read “NPAC Requirements” carefully. Materials listed in Jane Magrath’s The Pianist’s Guide to Standard Teaching and Performance Literature are graded and eligible for entry in the referenced grade level unless listed in this bulletin at a different level, this bulletin having final authority. If the Magrath level is used, enter corresponding page number on the student application to identify the source reference. Selections not listed in Magrath or this bulletin may be chosen. Level of difficulty/entry category can be approved by the Competition Committee members before February 2, 2013. Levels approved in this manner should be annotated alongside repertoire selection to identify approval source. Entrants are encouraged to check difficulty level before the application is submitted. On occasion of repertoire being inappropriately listed in the student application, difficulty level will be assigned by the Competition Committee and teacher will be notified. Performance of approved repertoire is required for award eligibility. Students performing non-approved repertoire may participate and receive written criticism, but they are not eligible for awards. RECITAL
An recital honoring winners will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 3, 2012, in Lipscomb University’s Ward Hall, and all winners are encouraged to perform. Recital pieces will be chosen by Competition officials to create a varied program of reasonable length. Winners should be prepared to play any selection performed during the Competition. Competition.
