twocats Thinking maybe Schumann's Arabesque which I played at a piano playing thing last year. Hopefully it can be revived without very much effort!

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!

            I'm just trying to figure out how to submit a recording. Can somebody redirect me to a post with all the instructions?
            I have an mp3, and a Youtube link. I just want an easy way to post it with some info/comments. There are too many ways so I'm confused. For the next recital I want a sticky post with all the instructions.
            Thanks!

              Thanks!

              I don't understand the "placeholder" thing for the Dropbox so I'll just embed a Youtube link.

                  Serge88 Wow, that was beautifully played Serge88 (though I think perhaps you posted this on the wrong thread, so I'm unsure whether it will get added onto the official recital).
                  I loved the smooth gentle style of playing in the bulk of the piece, but for me the slightly staccato effect of the refrain was slightly overdone - although that's just my personal taste and not meant as criticism of your technique - you interpreted the piece in a very musical manner. Thanks for the special preview. 🙂

                  "Don't let's ask for the moon, we have the stars." (Final line from Now,Voyager, 1942)

                    Well, I've just submitted something 😅. No big virtuosic piece this time, but something.. special😅. And not just from me. You'll see😄

                      @Serge88 I moved your recital submission to the right thread. It won't be visible to others until tomorrow, when the recital opens.

                      @navindra I shadow-hid Serge88's recital submission to keep it invisible.

                        Rubens I've just submitted something

                        Yippeeeee! Here's my happy dance:

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

                          Yup! Still the plan. Everyone should hopefully get a badge for participating.

                          However to relieve some of the time pressure on me, the badge will follow a couple of days later on the weekend. 🙂

                          rsl12 Very resourceful, thank you.

                          All submissions received.

                                Haha no no don't get me wrong... the peer pressure was meant as a little carrot on a stick to encourage participation 🙂 Not pressure on you to get stuff one 😃

                                    Calavera It looks like most people who are participitating here have also submitted their recordings to PW anyway.

                                    Except for me! I uploaded a video link to the PT recital, but I'm not going to submit one to PW because I don't have time to deal with getting an mp3. 😅

                                    My recording isn't that good anyway... 😜

                                      Rubens I don't understand the "placeholder" thing for the Dropbox so I'll just embed a Youtube link.

                                      that's what I did -- hopefully I did it correctly!

                                          navindra In your submission, put <PT> as the placeholder for the performance.

                                          Navindra, I hope one day you'll explain to me this part of your instructions on submitting a file to the Dropbox link you provided, perhaps with an example. That's just too high tech for me.
