Player1 Hah! I'm very confident the leak is not from PianoTell and it's not just me who did all the watching. Your submission is literally only viewable by you and me.

Couple of thoughts:

  1. A lot of people already figured out the Piano World recital layout. It is trivially easy to preview a recital before it happens. So if there was a leak, it's more likely to be from Piano World than PianoTell!
  2. Maybe the Rumble algorithm just likes your video! 🙂

      Rubens This is where Sam absolutely shines... his discipline in handling the recitals is unmatched.

      So no, there's no way I'll be that prompt. First, this is smack dab in the middle of the work week for me. Second, 6AM ET is 3AM PT for me... I would die if I had to wake up that early! So let's just say I will aim for Aug 15th, it will be several hours after Sam with a more fluid time range, but I'll do my best.

      This is why I originally didn't think it would be sustainable for me to be the RC, but now I'm starting to see it wasn't such a bad idea to pioneer the first one (or several)... I get to learn first hand what needs work! A lot of this could be automated — the recital could auto publish in the future.

        I've been really busy so I'm not sure I'll make this one...I'd have to get a decent take tomorrow and that seems unlikely (I will try...). But @navindra you mentioned in another thread that you had created a DropBox account as an option for audio uploads. I don't see a mention of that in the official submission post/form?

          navindra DOH - sorry, and thanks for the quick reply.

            I have been concentrating lately on recording some acoustic guitar songs on piano using a VST, so have nothing current to submit, but I quickly recorded a piano one from years back, this morning.
            Like @bSharp mine also contains 'ornaments'! 🙃

            I'm so excited about this first recital! My compliments to navindra for the smooth process - I can just imagine how much work went into this behind the scenes!

            Wow! I officially declare that this recital is going to be amazing.

            We broke 20 and we'll likely break 25 before all is said and done.

            I've heard snippets here and there and I'm excited for this recital.

            And apologies for this gratuitous comment: @rsl12 you have simply outdone yourself! I hadn't realized how far you'd come in your singing in such a short time!

            Note: I've made minor editorial tweaks to the submissions. However, feel free to review your submission and make final edits on top of mine.

              navindra you have simply outdone yourself! I hadn't realized how far you'd come in your singing in such a short time!

              Thank you! I'm pretty happy with that recording!

              I sometimes make personalized songs for my wife. I thought it would be fun to personalize the song for the Pianotell audience.

                twocats now you're making me think I should join too, even though I don't have anything prepared.

                Your Dvorak is sounding good, though I don't know how you can break off a piece for the recital. Is the Brahms still in good shape? Maybe part of the last movement?

                    ....(apologies, I'm either being dim or I'm tired or both?).....I've got a recording to add to the recital, already uploaded to YouTube. Where do I post it in the forum?

                      I do have some old solo stuff that I can still (kinda?) play. Thinking maybe Schumann's Arabesque which I played at a piano playing thing last year. Hopefully it can be revived without very much effort!

                      diretonic Where do I post it in the forum?

                      There's a link at the top of the very first post in this thread. Go there and respond to the post in the submission thread and it'll create a hidden post. When the recital goes live Navindra will unhide them all. At least that's my understanding, without having gone through the process 🙂

                            navindra

                            Hah back at you! As of this morning 78 views of which only 30 are first impression. Normally that ratio would be more like 78 / 65.

                            Somebody must really like cat duets. To be honest though, the cat really did do a good job of coming in right on cue during the piece so maybe that's the reason.

                              twocats After all, it's PT's first recital!

                              To add some more peer pressure: at some point navindra mentioned a special award for anyone who participates in this first recital 😊

                              #justsaying #nopressureatall 😁

                              I can't wait to watch you r cat @Player1 !

                                  I blame the cat. Just like I always do because it's usually right on the money. The way that works is; he either did it, or made me do it trying to stop him from doing it, or it happened merely because someone went by and thought, you know, if an orange cat were here...

                                  Or it could just be coincidence and the algorithm working in harmony with the celestial symphony.

                                  Nah, it was the cat.

                                    It's a FREE CAR! The catch is that you have to move from it's place in navindra 's neighbor's driveway where it's been parked for the last 25 years. I think it's a Yugo judging by the slightly cleaner spot where the original manufacturer's badge was attached before it fell off.
