Beethoven, often Grieg, Rachmaninoff was popular last year. Mendelssohn every few years, Tchaikovsky too. Just about anything but I have never heard Bach and only once Chopin. What are you preparing for? My experience in piano auditions is only for youth auditions for scholarships and to play with the symphony if they win. It seems like there are trends, one year out of all the pianists 4 of them played Grieg. NOT my favorite by any means.

We are small potatoes if you are talking about major competition.

Love Liszt, loved playing his music but that was decades ago for me.
