Good idea, I do not know any solo pieces by him but I can record Solveig's Song for piano and violin if we decide to hold this recital. It's a great idea and I'd like to see it happen! Grieg is amazing in so many ways!

Rossy, I hate to mess it up but I would like to take Puck 71-3 as my first choice and Summer's eve 71-3 as my second choice. Hope it's ok. Thanks.

How about you play the piano part and I'll sing the melody

edited to add: I didn't explain myself well here. I had *just* gone through this song with the intention of singing it, so you read my mind! There's plenty of Grieg to go around though

Just wanted to pop in and say I've started working on Remembrances and am discovering there is more to it than meets the eye. I'm having so much fun learning this piece!!! I hope to play it for the first time for my teaching this next week.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying Grieg!! This is his first music I have ever learned. I suspect there will be more!!

How the F in Hades can that be OK? They cant BOTH be 71.3 surely.
Do you do this to your husband? (I noticed he had to make his own supper in your video!)

I will try and do the seemingly impossible for you though! lol.

No SamS has got 71.3 as his second choice I am sorry, its gone.

Sure we can do that. But you'd have to get a copy of my edition so we are on the same page with this. :P

Sure we can do that? How sure are you? I mean I am organising this and haven,t even been asked yet.

But, If I was, just like the last recital, we are keeping this to the Grieg lyric pieces for piano.

Should we have ALL the lyric pieces taken, then we may, and I say MAY, possibly consider other Grieg works.

Just on the 66 lyric pieces alone I have a lot of collating , PM ing and linking to do at the end when everyones handed their piece in.

This is the format, please do not try and extend it, especially without asking, Thanks.

Rossy, FarmGirl can have 71/3, and she doesn't even have to cook me dinner.

If that's OK with you, O Grand Poobah of themed recitals!

Sam

Sorry, Rossy! I was actually just thinking of posting it as a "teaser" for the actual recital, not as a part of it. That's why I didn't bother to ask. I'm not trying to create more work for you, really!

Rossy. A suggestion. The songs outstanding; take (hide) our names OFF the "second choice" list in order not to discourage anybody else from participating. . . . up until a certain "panic date" at any rate . . .(I`ll have a go at my second choice anyway. I think others may to.)

My book arrived. I'll pick one later today with my teacher. Hope there's an accessible one left. Should be fun.

I'm going to learn my second piece too but I also recommend it to anyone looking for something easier. It's not too much for four months and is very sweet.

If we get an uptake of 66 participants I would still like to hear a selection of 'reserve' pieces by willing performers as a second tier. I would like to have heard more than one of each version in the Mendelssohn recital.

In view of the fact that we all compare our performances, consciously or otherwise, with our known/preferred/original hearing of a piece anyway I don't see the problem.

We all write differently even though we all use the same 26 letters. Our personality comes through without it having to be competitive or comparative.

I've heard and really enjoyed every performance in the Mendelssohn recital, there's not a single disappointing video (!) and our personalities shine through all of them. I never compared any of them to known professional versions (though many of them could stand the comparison) but that's not the point.

I listened to each piece as an individual thing and thought, 'I like the way they've done that', or 'I wouldn't have thought of that' but never 'it's not as good as Daniel B___'. I would not have seen duplicates as competitive.

Just my two penn'orth.

Which edition are you using? I would like to get the entire collection, but I'm not a fan of Schirmer or Kalmus.

Actually, just found this on Amazon, seemed to get good reviews, and you can't beat the price!

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Lyri...3923&sr=1-1&keywords=grieg+lyric

I use the Dover Edition, Morodiene. It has large pages, clear to read and the books tend to last - I have many Dover chess books and they really do take the abuse.

Nice price!

I have some Dover editions myself. I really like the Beethoven sonatas and the Chopin Nocturnes and Polonaises, but their complete Bach WTC books I & II are messy so I was a little hesitant, but it seems to get good reviews.

morodiene, no panic i knew you wouldnt try and make more work.

Peterws, If I "hide" the second choice list, can you garauntee everyone will just remember their second choice, like say they remember all their internet passwords? lol.

But I will add a statement above those 2nd choices that makes it clear they are still up for grabs by anybody as a first choice.

Zrft90: There is a very good reason for not having duplicates: I will try and state the reason as absolutely crystal clear as is humanely possible....

There are allready sixty six of these pieces. Lets just say for arguments sake we get 40 seperate people involved.

Now if everyone just sent me one PM with their text included, lets just say they didnt ask me a question about the link, or changing the link for a better take.
Lets say they didnt ask me for any help on getting it up on youtube or how to give me the link........

Then I would only have FORTY pms to look through to collate the text and links, check they work and file them on pdf ready to put up on the days required.

If, I was to allow duplicates that forty could feasably grow to eighty lots of pming X the amount of pm,s each person sent...

Our Pm boxs have a maximum of 200 pms before things go out to lunch.

I can assure you that just looking through forty members Pming me is enough for one recital, the pms dont come in "in order" they are random, I have to sort the info from them out into the order they will be eventually posted vis a vis : as they are on the list.

And thats just the pms from the recital, I do have folk pming me about other stuff, which can get a little hard to find by recital deadline time.

Dont get me wrong., I am not complaining I enjoy doing this, but to add duplicates would be overwhelming, because if you allow one duplicate you have to allow everyones in the interest of fairness.....

So, because it is big enough allready, I just cannot do duplicaates, it would get out of hand...

And, to encourage also the folk in the recital, it is best if there isnt even any hint of competition, which I personally feel is very important: The non competitive recital.

This worked exceptionally well with the first themed recital: (Phillip Glass) the second (Satie) and the last one (Mendelssohn)

I want to keep the Ideology behind the themed recitals intact, and not turn it into an internet version of the X factor.

I suggest that you delete me from the second choice list. The "Cradle Song" is a beautiful and not too difficult piece that someone else should play. I'll rather consider a second piece when the most popular ones are taken.

Very good points, Rossy, and well made.

I understand the work involved.

IF maybe a month or so after the Grieg recital someone were to open up a thread, not dissimilar to a piano bar thread, reserved solely for Grieg pieces, Lyric or otherwise, that didn't make the 'Official 66' for members to post their own performances into, in a random order, for a limited time (or not), how would that be?
