I have to agree with Currawong. The Bach is certainly going to show a different side to your playing than the other two. I have noticed the the Cesar Franck Choral, prelude and fugue is in List A and I would love to play that. However, I still have to think about sitting AMusA!

Thanks for the input guys.
Yeah I guess you guys are right about doing the Bach. The thing with the Debussy is that it's the only *slow* piece I have, aside from movements in the Beethoven. Really the odd one out here seems to be the Dohnanyi, I am not as fond of this one as the others either. Anyway i'm not sure. We have decided that, as i'll be doing my exam in at least a couple of years, that I am just going to learn all 6 as all the different styles will greatly help my musical education, and decide what i'm going to actually play later. So i am spending 30 minutes a day on each one. It's so fun because every piece is so different!

Oh that Franck P and F is a lovely piece! I was thinking of playing that one smile I would greatly reccommend sitting the AmusA. Even though I failed it was a very worthwhile experience and it helped me a great deal in terms of playing abillity, knowledge, a better understanding of how to go about things, and a good understand of a few different styles. As well as an improved ability to perform.
