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.

      Rubens This came later.

      The original idea was that folks would submit videos to YouTube or Vimeo and share the link in the submission.

      That's all! Done.

      Later, there was feedback that some folks might only have MP3s and needed an easy way to upload it for the recital. Just like PW.

      So I provided a Dropbox link where MP3s can be uploaded to. As an alternative.

      The <PT> thing is nothing... it just indicates to me that I have to get the MP3 from Dropbox and update the submission with the correct link to the MP3 that was uploaded. πŸ™‚

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

        This is my first time participating in any online recital! Honestly it's @navindra's enthusiasm that encouraged me to decide to participate at the very last minute πŸ˜ƒ

          twocats 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 πŸ™‚

          I did end up doing a bunch of takes and ended up keeping the last one, partly because the battery looked like it was going to run out πŸ˜‚ It's not perfect but it's submitted!

            twocats Usually my first take comes out pretty good (but not perfect) and I just gets worse from there ...


            Enthusiastic but mediocre amateur.

              TC3 I usually start off nervous with the camera watching me and then it gets better and more relaxed! I walked over to the recorder to start/stop it between most takes but left it running for the final one, and by that time I was even zoning out a little and was like "best take yet, let's call it a day!" πŸ˜‚

              Rubens I'd do a happy dance now, but it'd look like that Raygun lady in the news.

              Even more reason to share video with us!

              Some nice surprise last minute entries!

              This might be my last update before the recital goes live... so there's still time for last minute stragglers. πŸ™‚

              Woo hoo! i'm excited, thanks for organizing this first one!

              PianoTell changed the title to PianoTell Recital #1 Meta Feedback .

              Here is my plan, subject to change as I proceed, to listen and comment on the overlapping concurrent recitals here and on PW. I'm going to listen and comment on PianoTell first. Then I'm going to listen and comment on PW to the pieces that aren't duplicated in PianoTell. This means I won't comment in the PW recital on a piece that's included in the PianoTell recital. I'm trying to avoid having parallel comment threads for the same piece in both places πŸ™‚

              I'm looking forward to hearing your great playing! Thanks for setting up this recital @navindra!
