I was bored at 5am this morning so I decided to type up a list of everything I remember studying over the past couple of years, haha. Does anybody else keep track of their repertoire in this way? I find it can be very helpful.

I've started a notebook, but as I've only been playing a short while, I only have a few pieces I can call "repertoire".

Vinceguerra : Verde smeraldo, Lilla,
Purcell: Air in D minor

I don't have anything else I can just "play" off the top of my head, but I'm working on a few things and I have a plan for my repertoire smile I just need some time and lots more practice!

I started keeping my repertoire list from 2009. But I sort them by date I started working on the piece rather than by composer's name

How are we defining repertoire? Because I could spend a week listing everything that I can play from my library. The list of music I have polished and committed to memory is shorter of course.

Last year, all my performing was accompanying gigs. Here's what I played:

Violin:

Corigliano - Sonata
Bolcom - Graceful Ghost Rag
Franck - Sonata
Francaix - Sonatina
Ravel - Tzigane

Flute:

Muczynski - Sonata
Martin - Ballade
Schulhoff - Sonata
Daugherty - The High and The Mighty

Oboe/Bassoon:

Saint Saens - Sonata
Poulenc - Trio
Nussio - Variations

Saxophone:

Sonatas by Muczynski, Decruck, Maslanka, Denisov, Feld, Heiden, Cheetham, Creston, and Yoshimatsu

Gotkovsky - Brillance
Schmitt - Legende
Robert - Cadence
Desenclos - Prelude, Cadence et Finale
Chatman - To the Garden the World
Rosse - Nishi Asakusa
Clearfield - Unremembered Wings

This year, I'll be playing several of the same works plus a few new ones. I'm also going to keep things a little less hectic. Last year was a little insane.

Some awesome pieces here laugh. Perhaps you could post how long back these lists go so we can get an idea of how much you've studied in a particular amount of time.

By the way I am by no means saying that I could give a decent rendition of most of those pieces whenever I want. I've forgotten most of them by now, but it doesn't take me very long to resurrect a pieces I've learned before, even if it was years ago. So I suppose its a list of pieces I could play at short notice. I'm quite a late starter when it comes to any sort of serious piano study so I've basically just kept track of all the repertoire I've covered.

I'm afraid that my memory is fairly awful so only the pieces I've recently finished are fit for performance.The rest of it lapses and I have to give it a few days/weeks of study to bring it back.
Here's the stuff I've got to a standard that I'm happy to record over the last year or so.
Chopin: Nocturnes op 9 no 3 & op 32 no 1.Etude op 10 no 6.Walzes op 69 no 1 and op post in E major.
Schubert: Impromptus op 142 no 2 & 3.
Beethoven: Op 110.
Shostakovich: op 87 no 4 & 10.
I'm now starting to think about my next piece, which is my favorite part of the whole process.So much hope, so cruelly dashed.

I know all of these pieces are considered hackneyed, but I haven't been playing very long and wanted to learn the pieces I most enjoy.

Is the "repertoire" only supposed to be what we've mastered or everything we've worked on?

I suppose it can be what you like. I have put everything I've worked on to completion, even if I didn't master it.

jeffrey, and I admire anyone who has that amount of rep. in memory with only a little practise needed to get a piece under the hands. Debrucey your list is also rather impressive - how late a starter are you to 'serious piano'? I got serious about piano about October last year, so glad i did as it has opened up a rich world intellectually and emotionallly. A big change from dabbling.

I'm still at the stage of trying to get one piece from each composer that interests me, and to memorise. I'll post my list later.
