I have a presentation to do for a musical litterature class, wich deals with XXth and XXIst century music. I have to find a really modern work, way more than say prokofiev etc., even more than schoenberg if possible. The problem is I have allready lots of piece to work on, so I don't want a piece that requires too much work, and it should'nt be long, about 4 mins maximum ...

To give you an idea of my level currently, I'm doing for this year : Mendelssohn's variations sérieuses, bach toccata in e minor, scriabin etude op.42 no.5, prokofiev toccata, beethoven sonata op.7 and rachmaninoff concerto no.1 .

So I need piece in my range wich is very modern, kinda hard but not too much, and that I would have lots of information to give about it since I have to talk about the piece, the composer, and my interpretation of it. If you can join the score or any help to get it with your suggestion, that would be great!

Thanks

Associated Board publish a series of horrible modern pieces called 'Spectrum'. I had to play one for my degree recital, so chose 'Haiku' which lasts 20 - 30 seconds max. And that was too long...
