CM Tip.....

Students who are playing pieces with multiple movements should follow these guidelines for CM Evaluations:

Suite - only one movement is required for evaluations; multiple movements may be played if the students is applying for  Theme or Ensemble Recitals

Variations - play the opening movement, a few variations, and the closing movement only

Sonatas and Sonatinas - play one movement only

Preludes and Fugues - play the Prelude or Fugue, not both.

The list of movements for a Theme and Variations is just a suggestion.  Here is a better explanation:

 

Students need not prepare all the variations of a longer work, but should prepare enough variations to demonstrate the student’s abilities and show the varied characters.  (For example, if playing  Mozart's "Twinkle, Twinkle," just use 2 or 3 minutes worth of music....maybe 3-4 variations plus the theme and the closing variation.)  Evaluators will hear only the variations the student has prepared.  If the student has submitted the Variations for a convention recital, the evaluator must hear all prepared variations within the recital time limit.
