In flagrant imitation of Mary-Rose's Chopin E-cital I would like to organize a similar event in recognition of Schumann's bicentennial June 8 2010. That is 10 months away.
If you are interested in participating let me know and I will post a list of pieces and performers. I have no illusions about being able to cover all of Schumann's music, so I think of this more as a gesture of recognition- so the day does not pass by and Robert is there wondering what happened. Duplicates, extemporizing, re-writing - it's all good.
I"ll bump this thread from time to time to keep you on your toes.

OT, but I'm curious about the consensus: was Schumann's best work in his piano output? These works are without a doubt both fantastic and generally accessible but exclude, for example, his Violin Concerto in D-Minor.

It would probably be wrong for me not to contribute something to this as much as I love Schumann. I would love to go out and say something outlandish like I'd play op 15 in its entirety, but that's just not going to happen in my lifetime, let alone ten months. I'll take Op 15, No 1 and 2. Much as I think 2, might do me in, I need something to motivate me to fix measures 9-12 at a proper tempo.

I'll do "A Curious Story", From Foreign lands and People (A chance to improve on my last performance) and "An Important Event" all from Opus 15.
Woops just looked at Home in My Shoes. I may have picked two of his. Not sure as there are no numbers in my Schumann book. If so then I would take An Important Event from Opus 15 and Chiarina from Opus 9.

Put me down for Der Dichter Spricht from Op. 15. I'd like some impetus to learn more of Op. 15 than just Träumerei.

If you want Peyton, you can have "A Curious Story" (2) and "From Foreign Lands" (1) from op. 15 and I'll take "Pleading Child" (4). I need to rework my interpretation of it.
Or you and I can put ours together and see what we like better prior to the recital out of 1, 2, 4, and 6?
I'm not really set on this one.

Peyton - HomeInMyShoes signed up for #1 (Foreign lands and people) and #2 (Strange Story) from Kinderszenen Op 15. So then I'll sign you up for Op 15 #6 = "Wichtige Begebenheit" = "Important Occurance"; and Op 9 Carnaval: Chiarina if that's ok.

Oh that's not right - I'll just sit back and let Home and Peyton figure this one out

:P Haha. The first non adult-beginners e-cital I'm attempting to participate in and I'm making a mess of it.
I emailed Peyton and said he could have 1 and 2. I'll take "Bittendes Kind" (4) and "Am Kamin" (8) instead. I'll have to actually learn "Am Kamin" from scratch. Ten months should be enough time. Hopefully.
In summary: Peyton: "Von fremden Landern und Menschen", "Kuriose Geshichte", Wichtige Begebenheit" (1,2,6) HomeInMyShoes: "Bittendes Kind", "Am Kamin" (4,8)

Many thanks Aaron. I'll also still take on Chiariana if that's OK.

-Frycek, if for some reason you need to back out, I have Träumerei performance ready at any time.
