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 🙂

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 😂 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!" 😂

            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!

              TIME

              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 🙂

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

              Oops, I should have posted this here and not in the recital!

              twocats @navindra unfortunately the table of contents doesn't work for me-- I suspect the forum software only looks backwards within a post? (Edit: up until TC3's link it does work but then the later ones don't! Wondering if anyone else experiences the same?) I think hyperlinks to each of the submissions would be a better option. I know you're super busy so if you want help to do this, please let me know. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into PT and the recital!

                  I also didn’t realize there was a separate thread for this. Here’s my post on using the index:

                  I thought the index wasn’t working to redirect me to performance posts, but I just didn’t know how to use it. I accidentally figured it out. You have to hover over the name of the performer. A pop up box then appears with a bunch of details, and then you have to click on the text in the popup box.

                  twocats

                  In fact, I broke PT today by messing around too much with the posts for the recital this morning. Sandra was the first to notice and you were next. Whatever I did caused some users not to be able to post and also caused the index malfunctions.

                  Btw, the idea to use hyperlinks is much better. It did occur to me later but I ran out of time. The problem with doing replies is that it shows up as a reply on each performance. That's why I also changed the first post to the internal PianoTell account instead of my own... but that goes against my goal that any RC should be able to run the recital with no special accounts.

                  All fixed now hopefully!

                  Here's the glorious new index:

                      navindra I also noticed some indexing issues in my recent notifications on the recital thread but it all looks good now!

                      It was a great idea for you to run the first recital and iron out any issues. Hopefully it wasn't too bad. So the big question is: when will the next recital be? 😉

                          navindra What did you notice out of curiosity?

                          Someone either liked or replied to my submission but when I accidentally clicked on it while trying to clear the notification, it went to someone else's submission instead. I didn't look at all of the notifications again but I clicked on one where I think it had the issue and it now goes to my post as expected.

                              One thing I like about this format compared to PW is that commenting is MUCH easier! You can watch the video, get all the information, and your message editing window will stay with you as you scroll to other posts. It's a shame there isn't a playlist or an archive, but this format has big advantages.
