The Fifteen Minute Concert

Bruckner: Overture in G Minor

Scriabin: Prelude No. 4 in E minor

Hmm.

[Gustav]

La Valse

[Symphonien]

Here's a few I came up with:

---

Ligeti - Fanfares (3'35")
Ligeti - Arc-en-ciel (3'45")
Rzewski - Sideshow (3'45")
Messiaen - Noël (3'55")

---

Webern - Six Bagatelles for String Quartet (3'50")
Kurtág - Officium breve in memoriam Andreae Szervánszky (11'10")

---

Górecki - 3 Olden Style Pieces (10')
Pärt - Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten (5')

---

Adams - Lollapalooza (6'40")
Adams - Tromba Lontana (4'10")
Adams - Short Ride in a Fast Machine (4'10")

[Keemun]

Hmm.

Didn't think you'd see Bruckner in this thread did you? 

[greg]

How does one finish making out? 

When you're ready to dodge some bullets, i means you're finished.

[Brian]

I'd make myself a little symphony in miniature.

YAMADA Overture in D major (3.30)
LALO Scherzo in D minor (4.45)
KHACHATURIAN Gayaneh's Adagio (5.15)
IBERT Finale from Divertissement (2.00)
TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes 30 seconds

Except that you said "no excerpts from larger works," unfortunately, so I would ditch that program and use this one:

LALO Scherzo in D minor (4.45)
VERDI La traviata, overture (3.30)
SUPPE Pique Dame overture (7.00)
For the moment excluding opera from my definition of larger works.
