Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Grieg recital: Proposal.....

Everyone's allowed to post in both. The tone of the two boards is different.

Evening all, am I the only one left yet to get a recording? Richard kindly extended my submission to the 14th, leaving me tomorrow, Friday 13th, to get any take at all lol, never mind a decent one............ Please accept my apologies in advance, for massacring an Edward Grieg - Lyric Piece (Hope he forgives me lol)

Don't worry Wayne, there are quite a few extensions beyond yours, even.(later opuses probably).

I post in both, but I see a very different atmosphere on the two forums. I suspect a small minority of ABF people would find active participation at the PC to be their proverbial cup of tea.

The ABF is for people who are learning to play the piano and about music, going from those who are absolutely starting and up. Some of us may be more advanced in some areas, but have huge holes in others. Some of us have not have lessons, and others have had poor lessons in their past and have to undo the damage. In this forum we are trying to learn and to help each other learn.

PC is for those who generally have piano under their belt already. They are not primarily in learner-mode.

That's how I see it.

I'm still waiting to get a chance to get at the piano.

LOL, read that as "mascaraing", for which I'm not sure old Eddie would approve or forgive you.

I also cleared my schedule tomorrow to do some recording. I have 2 out of 5 done, got a barely decent take of 71/5 Halling today, so I'm hoping tomorrow will mean I can get even better. Wrong notes will happen, I'm just hoping for no "stuttering" when they do so I can keep going.

Also did a few takes yesterday of Butterfly and I think I should get a good recording of this tomorrow, or at the very least this weekend.

Brooklet is starting to come together, but it's not going to be as polished as I would like (but then, neither is anything else!).

To all of you procrastinators: Now is our time to get 'er done! Then...
Cheers!

See, that's what you get for signing up for FIVE OF THEM!!!

I "signed up" for 2, the last 3 were foisted upon me with such grace and politeness, I never realized what I was getting myself into. Brits and their wily ways!

Dipsy really knows how to get her way.. I can attest to this!


Of course it doesn't help that you're so awesome at the last minute things, Erin.. I'm sure they will be fine!

As for me, I wound up with a decent-enough-for-me recording, unless you count the chorus of cicadas in the background.. (never fear Wayne! I am here to set the bar low for you LOL)

I think it will add to the ambience, especially if you listen to it in the dead of winter it will help remind you of summer days spent practicing the Grieg .

3 down 2 to go! I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a good take on Butterfly today, but Brooklet will need 1 more day at least.

I am insane.

"I am insane."

I would recommend Californian Red . . . .or "Theakston`s Old Peculiar" . . .

I'm up there with you Morodiene - climbing the walls nearly! But I think the more people put in, the more they get out...



aimee - I can't think what you mean!

Had to google Theakston's...rated 89 out of 100. Not bad.

So tomorrow is the big day, I'm really excited about this themed recital, can't wait!

Alright, I have submitted everything but Brooklet 62/4. That one is presenting me with some problems that will probably take some more work today and most likely tomorrow as well.

I'm leaving for Berlin in half an hour, so I will miss the opening of the recital... hope to be able to catch up later.

Morodiene, you may be insane, but you set an example to look up to. Tackling so many pieces and really helping to complete this collection. Wow!

Ah yes! Dipsy, you are one of the best volunteer recruiters I've met. I'll never forget how you so skillfully talked me into participating in the Satie recital when I had no intention of participating. The next thing I knew I was performing Gymnopedie 1.

I'm looking forward to hearing the Grieg recital.

Oh I see (Griffin (and AimeeO) !
