plop_symphony Thanks! The mistake is my own... fixed.

@Nightowl I clearly hear spots where I've distorted the printed rhythms (especially triplets) of my own arrangement. Try as I might, there are places where the 3 against 2 gets slightly out if sync. Eventually I decided if it wasn't one thing it would surely be another, so I put up with imperfections. I'm not a robot.

Nightowl

Thanks @pseudonym58, I feel similarly about my own performance - imperfections seem par for the course, we're only human. 🙂

I took a break from the piece then returned to it and made efforts to iron out a couple of rough spots, then managed to get a reasonable version recorded yesterday. It's a bit slow and there are a couple of hesitations, but it's better than it was last week and I decided that it will do. I'm always telling others not to let perfect get in the way of good enough and I'm taking my own advice now. 🙂

I might just be lazy and upload a recording of one of my performances from WIPAC this weekend...

navindra

TheBoringPianist Wow! That would be amazing!

Everybody here have busy lives. Not everybody here is retired with a lot of free time. We just practice whenever we have time.

The last piece I submitted made me realized how challenging it was to master something that is barely half a minute long in 1 page. Even after making recording 1, felt something wasn't right and made recording 2. A number of years ago I saw kids struggled to read through a 1-page piece. I'm sure they put in a lot of effort.

Can't wait to hear the other performers.

Good to see so many members participating.
I look forward to listening to this first PT recital. 🙂

ShiroKuro

Wait, sorry for asking a stupid question (I’m sure the answer is here somewhere so apologies in advance).

@navindra How do we submit?

I see the template and I get that we’re to use some external hosting (e.g., YouTube etc). So, once we have the audio (or video) hosted and the template filled out, do we just reply in the thread you linked at the top? And if so, am I right in assuming that the replies are some how hidden until you release them?

Thank you in advance!

TC3

ShiroKuro There are no stupid questions. 🙂

You submit in this thread:

https://forum.pianotell.com/d/1044-pianotell-recital-1-is-open-for-submissions

If I'm reading correctly, you just reply to it, but no one will see it except you and @navindra

Other folks, please correct me if I'm wrong!

navindra

ShiroKuro Yes!

TC3 This is exactly right.

WieWaldi

TC3 Shouldn't the -girls see it as well?

TC3

WieWaldi Sorry, I'm not following you.

WieWaldi

TC3 Sophia and Pallas are the recital coordinators and this purple hiking icon is the badge:

Sophia

@WieWaldi this round it's poor @navindra who is doing all of the work to iron out all of the technical kinks first 😊 I think we need to rename him Superman 😂

ShiroKuro

@navindra & @TC3 thank you!!

Ok, I may not have a good recording but I will upload a practice recording if nothing else! Definitely don't want to miss the first PT recital!!!

navindra

WieWaldi For the recitals, it's just me right now as it's all technical work.

The flair was supposed to be updated for PACT, but we've been a bit slow to get that updated correctly.

Pallas

WieWaldi I haven't been well, and have resigned volunteering. I have the regular veteran gold star now.

WieWaldi

Pallas sorry to read about it, I must have missed this.

Welcome back to the Gold-Star club. Anyway, our icon looks much more lighthearted than walking around with a heavy backpack and the need for a supporting stick. 😉

...

After submitting, it reads a bit strange if I note down my own name. Unlike PW where every submission is published by "AB Forum Recital"-user, we are posting with our own user account, having the name+avatar already included.
I suggest to do a gentle re-work of the template in about two weeks, when this recital is finished and all impressions have settled down.

Absolutely! That's the goal, things are going to be rocky at the beginning.

As I've been readying this recital, fixing up links and such, I had a chance to listen to one or two of the pieces. It feels like cheating but it's really just part of the job. And Oh My... Some of the pieces I accidentally listened to are so so good and the note on one of them is just so humble at the same time.

Will we get to an even 20?

Pallas

WieWaldi The backpacker was for PACT. I had an idea to use a mountain climbing metaphor for reaching the summit of Practice Every Day!
