I'm going to make it easy on myself as well. It takes me quite a while to work on a piece I feel is truly worthy and there's no way I could keep that up on a quarterly schedule. So it's just going to be a piece from my favorite book to hate, Alfred.
I've not recorded yet... and I'm thinking maybe this time I'll do it on Pianoteq so that I could also submit it to Modartt's 2024 contest and make an easy 20โฌ. Or maybe not... but then I'll have to tune one of my pianos and clear the house (of noisy little people) for the recording. I'm waffling, but I'll get it done either way! ๐
Just wanted to give you all a heads up, I'll open up for submissions tomorrow evening rather than morning. This is also to make it easy on myself as it's a work day!
Eventually I'll figure out how to be as disciplined as Sam and stick to a precise schedule. ๐
Btw, now that we have a proven formula with Recital #1, I was also thinking of posting to /r/piano about Recital #2. However I haven't figured out that place and I always get downvoted to oblivion (if my posts aren't immediately deleted by bots), so it's not likely to be effective.
