Peyton, a 10 minute long submission is certainly allowed. Just remember however that there have been numerous 2 minute long submissions in the past. I'm never disappointed with your performances and I'm sure this time will be no exception. I'll just expect this performance to be 5 times better than previous ones that's all.
No stress buddy!

John, I should have thought of that!!! But hey, in this age of digital recording etc. all you have to do is hit that pause button and... instant intermission!
SH, just be sure to watch the video all the way through. I would hate for you to miss the dancing elephants and the car chase scene. (That should get me at least up to 15 people.... he he...)

My teacher just gave me the "finished" light on my NEXT piece I'll have to keep it 'in stock' for the next recital...

Mike, seems you erroneously added the piano type number to your name?

That was Mike's user name for years. He's just staying consistent.

...At 10 minutes mine is the longest piece I've ever put in the recital. I'll be lucky if I get ten people to listen all the way through. Assuming I get myself in gear and manage to get a recording, I'll be close to the 10 minute mark this time too! I've never yet played it to an acceptable level all the way through - but I reckon I'm as close as I'm going to get, so its probably as good as time as any to face the microphone and record it 'warts and all'. Hope I don't get accused of presenting a 'long boring' submission (Although if it *IS* boring - I'd still appreciate it if people did actually tell me!) I'd usually go with video - but 10 minutes presents some significant issues for my video equipment so I might take the easy route and just submit audio this time. Daughter might struggle this time - none of her current pieces are quite up to scratch at the moment as she's focusing on preparing for an upcoming Violin exam - so we might have to 'raid the archives' and see if there's something she wants to submit.

Couldn't get the Grieg ready in time. It's one of those faster pieces, and it's not musical enough yet for my slow fingers. So while I was practicing it a moment ago, I thought, let's see if I can get a decent take of the nocturne-stein monster I've been assembling in the laboratory. I got nervous toward the end, you can tell, that feeling of, 'hey, this might be good enough to submit.' Purists will scoff the digital instrument, and I'm sorry for that.
Look forward to hearing everything from everyone.

About the Video: I do not usually watch the video... The MP3 format allows me to listen the pieces in the car when I'm in traffic, or to upload them to my MP3 player and listen the Recital wherever I want. Sorry my friends, I recognize your efforts to make the videos, but the MP3 format is more convenient.
I agree that the mp3 is easier to digest especially on the go which makes it very convenient. But I just want to add that to actually see the person playing in a video is a completely different experience for me. The performance comes alive to some extent. However, I understand that creating a video can be time consuming (red dot times 3 for me...). But for those of you who take the time to create/upload a video, I just want to say 'thank you' as it is so fun to watch you play in these recitals!

Even when you can't watch a person's hands playing because there's something else going on in the video, videos can be a lot more time consuming to make, and just as much fun to watch-- I hope.

Not only am I loving the relief of knowing that my recital piece is uploaded, but I also picked out and started practicing my recital piece for NEXT time. Yay. p.s. you'll all be delighted to hear that I will be returning to Einaudi.

It's somehow between Bach and Beethoven which should make a very interesting style.

This sounds so good to me right now. I would love to start working on my next piece--and need to since its for a Christmas recital not PW's Valentine's!! Unfortunately I'm still struggling with the rhythms of the swing part of the ending I just had to give my ecital piece at the last minute and because of that it may indeed not come together till the last minute.

And if I told you that I've my next piece ready already...? Maybe nothing, since I know you're supernaturally gifted and can play something from memory after reading it only a few time, but I might shoot myself--metaphorically speaking, that is.

Ha ha!

Ha ha! Mr. Super-Hunky..... Sam's updated ABF Recital index shows 130 Chopin submissions and 1 Chopin. (with a period).... I think he should still be at the top of the list...:) As for that Unknown guy...never heard of him!

130? I see 234 Chopin submissions Hmmm, I think we discovered another "bug" in the new ABF Recital index... Browsing by composer: Chopin (234) + Chopin.(1) = 235Browsing ABF Recital statistics: TOP 25 composers -> 1st, 125 Chopin 105 : Bach 58 : Einaudi 53 : Beethoven 35 : Schumann 30 : Mozart 28 : Mr Super-Hunky 26 : Debussy (...) I've noticed (and loved!) Mr Super-Hunky position in the table update (by himself). Did you?
