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 🙂

                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 😊

                  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.

                            Lol!!! Don't Let me shatter your dreams... because I do believe the word "badge" might definitely be involved somewhere... 😉

                            Go back three or four lesson pieces and record one of those. Half an hour spent refreshing it in your mind and fingers and you'd be ready to record. Upload and submit.

                                I haven't had lessons in almost 30 years 😂 I play chamber music these days and don't really practice solo works.

                                  Arabesque is not coming naturally to my fingers, needs more time than I have. But I remembered that I revived Rustle of Spring to play at a piano thing this past spring and can mostly still play it. And it's blessedly short! I'll work on it and then I'll get out my Zoom video camera so that it'll do justice to my nice piano 🙂

                                  @Rubens it's on!!

                                      Argh, I wish I could be part of the inaugural recital here, but I've come up extremely empty-handed this summer 🙁

                                      Will double down for the next one, though. And that's the important thing, right? Not just that we have a successful recital (which it looks like we absolutely will!), but that it carries on as a standing tradition!

                                        Gombessa C'mon! Surely you can throw together "Chopsticks" or "Twinkle Twinkle" in time!!!

                                        Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

                                          Gombessa awwwww I was hoping for some Joe Hisaishi or maybe Disney songs from you! Even if you've submitted something at PW before you could play it again for PT 🙂

                                          But I totally get wanting to prepare and play something "properly" to submit. I have to get over my perfectionist tendencies and just throw something together (actually it's probably good for me to do it at the last minute so that I don't spend hours doing takes). I'm glad it's a casual and supportive environment and it's all just for fun!
