navindra It looks like my announcement post on r/piano is taking off reasonably well.

For r/piano, 7 upvotes in two hours is pretty good!

navindra

iternabe We have a winner! 🙂

rsl12 Wow, very nicely done indeed! This is very cool, thank you!

I already got my upvote in there. 😃

I’m in! I have been away or very busy for most of October… very little piano… and I still haven’t finished my listening and comments from the last PW themed recital. BUT! I pledge to record something, none of my current pieces are ready but will try something from a couple of months ago!

I haven't had any sneak peaks of anything, but I'm already super intrigued by at least one of these submissions!

Rob

I haven't been around for a while, and didn't realise that there was to be a November recital until today.
Sadly, I have nothing new that would be suitable, due to using non-piano VSTs, but it is great to see that there are already 10 participants!
I look forward to listening to you all

You still have 13 days to record something and submit it.

I'm almost at the point where I can make my 1st recording of the piece I'm working on. It's going to be close!

This was me a couple of days ago. I have nothing for this one. Will there be a holiday one next month? I am working on festive pieces right now.

It’s funny, I took a chapter out of your book because last time you had your piece recorded several weeks in advance. I was cutting it fine and worried whether I would have something ready in time. This round it seems we are reversed - I know how you feel 😋

WieWaldi

Currently, there is only 1 piece a duplicate in both forums, the rest is entirely different. Some posted different pieces in both forums and one of them seems to be "recycled" from a previous recital. But I am not sure about this recycling thing, as this piece wasn't finished last time, and we could probably hear a newer version.

Sophia

Yeah, well, I didn't practice yesterday and today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed so I may not play today either.

The t hing is, it's not a difficult piece, I could play my way through it in an hour. I just don't have much motivation (or a good attitude) right now so don't expect much.

Cratersmash

I tried to record my piece earlier today, it was going really well but then I made a really bad slip near the end😭. So frustrating, I know I'll get a good recording eventually though.

Nightowl

Cratersmash Trust me, Cratersmash, you're not alone, we've all been there. It's something we often refer to as Red Button Syndrome.
It's good to see a new member arrive, this forum is fairly new and it is taking time for the membership to grow. Have you been playing piano long?

Sophia

Welcome @Cratersmash 🙂 And yes, I can relate to that too. In fact I posted just the other day how I had recorded a piece and then found out I never pushed the record button... or, as you said. It never fails that if a bad slip happens, it invariably happens in the last few seconds 😝

Cratersmash

Nightowl I've been playing for quite a while, 8 or 9 years at this point.

Nightowl

Cratersmash Oh, then you're way ahead of me, I only began last November. Your username makes an impact - are you keen on astronomy by any chance?

Sophia

Nice! Will look forward to your recital piece 😃

Cratersmash

Nightowl Nope, I randomly picked this username for something when I was very young and I've been using it since then. No correlation to anything besides me liking how it sounds.

Sophia

Player1 don't expect much

You know what, I'll set my expectations to "nothing". That way, whatever you come up with will be a pleasant surprise 🙂

Nightowl

Player1 Yeah, I get days like that too - sometimes everything feels like too much of an effort (except eating sugary foods - I can always seem to manage that, somehow!). There's still plenty of time, especially for someone awesome like yourself! 😀

Player1

Sophia

This sounds a lot like you saying you wouldn't be surprised if I missed grabbing the brass ring. And we can't be having none 'o that! Not no how, no ways!!

I did manage to play yesterday and the video recorder captured the garbage I produced. Which got deleted immediately so don't ask. I'll probably try again later today. Like I said, it's not a difficult piece so I should have something presentable in the next few days.

Player1

Nightowl

I understand. If it weren't for a batch of homemade peanut butter brownies, I probably would have been wondering who to terminate next.

All good today, I slept the clock around last night. Rain has a tendency to do that to me sometimes because we don't get much of it here.

rogerch

TLH21 As far as I know there is no official holiday recital. I plan to post some holiday cheer in Member Recordings though and I hope you do too!

Nightowl

rogerch It might be nice to have a dedicated thread of Christmas songs - maybe you could start one? (Ideally not before 1 December though... or am I being a Grinch to think that Christmas should stay in December?)
