So - we send video files to someone by Sept 15, is that right?
No, as already hinted, you need to set up a youtube account if you don't already have one then once you've prepared your video and uploaded it you youtube you need to send the link for that video to either Dipsy or Rostosky. I believe youtube is very tolerant of video formats so it shouldn't matter what format you choose - or what format your camera chooses for you.

That's great yester - welcome to our group! I hope you enjoy preparing your piece. Many people prepare their piece privately, but if you want to share any ideas or problems you have about it on this thread, than that's great too!
In my view (and others will have a different views, I'm sure)if your piece wasn't challenging then what would be the point of taking part? I want to grow as a piano player, and choosing a piece I really like, having a deadline, and knowing that if I didn't do it it would let people down, I would not push myself and actually learn it. Of course we do the best we can, but we forgive ourselves and each other if its not perfect, I hope.
Here are the updated lists:

I'll take 62/2 "Gratitude" as a second piece. And I am very grateful to get it...

Many people prepare their piece privately, but if you want to share any ideas or problems you have about it on this thread, than that's great too! that's great, I’m looking forward to share my problems because I am self-taught, no teacher out there to bombard with questions… Ok, my starting problem: I’m wondering about the right arrangement. I use these imslp-notes: - klick -. But listening to Walter Giesekings recording - klick - I’m not sure if there are different notes out there… think Gieseking plays the notes I have linked but when he achieves page 3 of the piece (page 5 of the pdf) he just plays till the third measure in line two (I mean the measure with the dotted whole-note-chord G-major - unfortunately the measures are not numbered). But then he skips the next eight measures and goes on with the first measure on the penultimate line (marked with “con motoâ€). I have listened to a recording by Antonio Pompa-Baldi (not on youtube but on spotify) and he playes the ominous measures. Can somebody bring some light into the darkness?

I'm glad Sam that you've now found another piece you'd like to do, after it turned out that 'Gone' had done just that (my mistake). The updated list to reflect your choice is below.
Yester, you've come to the right place! If I can't give you any suggestions there are much better pianists than me on this thread who I'm sure will help... I've lost my specs tonight so I'm trying to see through a credit card sized plastic magnifying 'glass', so I can't see v well!

Giesekings skipped some measures. Don't know why. The score you linked at imslp is correct. Maybe he had a memory lapse? Maybe the recording engineer cut something out? That's very odd. Sam

Thank you for answering, Sam! I'm glad that the score is correct, now I can start practicing with a certain calm.

As a second piece, I'll tackle Opus 43 No. 6 - To the Spring. I've had the score for more than 50 years - this is the little nudge I needed to finally buckle down and learn it !!!!

Hi all, once again I have a question, hope somebody can help me. I’m a little bit confused about the staccato-marks in my piece (Grandmother’s menuet op. 68 no2) My problem starts on the second quarter time, I’m not sure how to play it. I encounter it the first time and this note-constellation runs through the whole piece. [img:left] [/img] On the one hand there is a quarter note to play which is marked with a staccato point. On the other hand there are two eight notes with staccato points at the same time to play. Without the staccato mark of the quarter note it’s easy: I hold the quarter note while I’m playing the two eight notes staccato. But unfortunately (for me…) ) the quarter note has a staccato mark as well. So how should I play the staccato of the quarter note in relation to the two staccato eight notes? Is the quarter note more played like a portato? When should I unhand the note in relation to the two eight notes? It would be great if somebody could explain it to me; I’m a little bit lost. greetings yester

I think that you think that if a note is a quarter note, that it has to last for the duration of that time. But it simply means that you press that note on that beat, and then you press the next staccato quarter note on the next beat. Meanwhile you have played two eighth notes during that time. You can also get insights by looking up performances of your piece.

Thanks for answering, keystring!
Yes, I do hear a lot of performences of my piece, I have really good recordings, but unfortunatly I'm not able to figure out by ear how the interpreter play this (listening is always my first step beginning a new piece).
So following your explanation the staccato quarter note is played as shortley as the first staccato eight note? So Grieg also could have noted a staccato eight note plus an eight rest instead of the staccato quarter note?

Wow, these themed recitals sure sound like a lot of fun. I've seen the thread for some time now but never realized how it works until it was discussed at the EPP. To work together towards a common goal must be great.
Unfortunately, Grieg is above my current level but I will consider joining the next themed recital (unless you choose Rachmaninov).
