Hi al-mahed, Peyton performed Mazurka 7/1 in the second Mazurkathon so if it's OK I'll put you down for 34/2. Nice to have you on board!

Ok Mary, no problem. But, I didn't find this information in the link "http://www.chopinrecital.org/5301.html". It is suposed to contain all the recordings so far? Or there is another link to others events, like mazurkathon? Could you post the link to the other events (if this is the case)? Perhaps I can find more options of works to chose (I don't have much options since I'm begginer :)) Thanks Hi al-mahed, Peyton performed Mazurka 7/1 in the second Mazurkathon so if it's OK I'll put you down for 34/2. Nice to have you on board!

I was thinking about what Mr SH said, and I thought of the week-long Chopin celebration in Warsaw. There were many people there played improv of Chopin pieces to the point you couldn't even recognize what exactly they were playing.
So I want to suggest that we have Mr SH to play the Prelude No 20 in C-minor as Chopin wrote it, then after that he can improvise to his taste. Having heard his playing in many ABF recitals, I think we would have some pleasant surprise.

I agree. So we look forward to your contribution, MR s-h! (Special dispensation - no other improvisations please - we don't want our dear Chopin spinning in Pere Lachaise).

Great I'm in! Put me on the list. I knew if I worked my charm a little Mary-Rose would let me in. (She's sweet on me you know. So is Monica but she won't read this because she only plays that goofy new-age stuff. Hehe). Actually, so do I so never mind.
Anyway, now that I'm "officially" on the approved Chopin recital list, I'm gonna go nuts with this piece. If the deal is that I've got to play the original as written then I sure hope it's not to hard to learn because my sightreading abilites stink. Good excuse to actually read something even though I'm going to have to use the "every good boy does fine" / "All cows eat grass" method at first! Haha, pathetic I know but think about it, even if I only learn one bar a day, I'll still learn all the bars in a matter of several weeks right? Then just play them one after another until they flow smoothly together.
No promises on whats coming on the ad-lib version but your probably going to regret it! To late to turn back though; A deals a deal.

Mary Rose, now that a good portion of the nocturnes, preludes, etudes have been performed, how do you see these recitals moving forward? Or will they? As someone, with a fairly newfound respect/admiration/love for Chopin's gift to humanity, I look forward to building on my one and only Chopin piece- Prelude in E minor.

Having heard his playing in many ABF recitals, I think we would have some pleasant surprise. In addition, I'd like to personally thank Liszaddict for pointing out this fact. I could only imagine that Chopin himself would welcome improvisations of his music and feel proud to have inspired so many other musicians to do the same. *Encouraging* others to participate and enjoy his music just seems to make all kinds of sense. Now listen, I have no plans on turning this into a sideshow act. I DO respect Chopins work just as all of you do. He was a musical genious just not a deity.....although admitidly pretty close!

(She's sweet on me you know. So is Monica but she won't read this because she only plays that goofy new-age stuff. Hehe). Normally I *don't* read the classically oriented threads, hunky, but I saw from the thread listing that you had posted on it, and that got me curious enough to check it out. (I'm sweet on you, you know. ) I don't know if the Chopin crowd is ready for Chopin-in-a-Speedo, though.

Strings&Wood: I think we must all have a democratic discussion about the Chopin ecitals from 2011 onwards. So if you have any ideas, please share them after October 17. I could only imagine that Chopin himself would welcome improvisations of his music and feel proud to have inspired so many other musicians to do the same. *Encouraging* others to participate and enjoy his music just seems to make all kinds of sense.
In fact Chopin HATED people extemporising on his music, which is why I have been reticent about encouraging it in our ecitals. Liszt was prone to add his own variations to Chopn's works, which Chopin didn't like at all. But he won't be hearing our efforts, so won't be hurt by them!

Mary-Rose, are you sure about Chopin "hating" ("hate" is a VERY strong word) other musicians performing variations of his work?
I only ask this because SO many accomplished performers have done so. Were they all inspired by Chopins compositions and decided to play variations of his pieces in the face of his deep "hatred" for others doing this?
[Note]: I'm NOT trying to stir up the nest with this, I honestly don't know what the actual (factual) truth is. I need to be enlightend.

Slow down and do it right.

Whether Chopin liked or disliked people making variations out of his work, I think that's hard to prove.
But the fact is Chopin Opus 2 are variations of Mozart's La ci darem la mano.
Rachmaninoff wrote a theme and variations based on the same prelude No 20 that Mr. SH wants to play. Honestly, I don't like this particular work by Rachmaninoff. The theme is there, the variations go completely off the theme, and they just go on and on and on for almost 30 minutes.

But the fact is Chopin Opus 2 are variations of Mozart's La ci darem la mano. We weren't talking about someone writing his own variations on a theme by Chopin. We were talking about someone going off on his own tangent during the performance of one of Chopin's actual compositions. In the one recorded instance he bit Liszt's head off. (Actually, he wasn't all that happy about anyone anyone even handling the fair copies either. He was a bit of a mother hen in that respect. Once he got upset when he smelled cigar smoke on one of them.)
Slow down and do it right.
