Me too!💕

I'm in!

@Melchiorblade7 That was nice lots of 16th notes that would probably make my fingers fall off great job Your trills sound good. Me I can't seem to keep them going for more than a couple of shakes which is something I need to work on myself. Thank you for the comment on the 19th Melody it felt like it took forever to get it to that point (don't ask how many recording takes it took I lost track after 10 :p) I might actually keep that one.

I'm working my way though that book and it's not surprising you've not heard it before because the only Le Couppey that people work on in that book is one of the melodies in C that's in abundance on YouTube. I've got 5 more pieces in that book and will be finished with it (technically there are 12 more after that some sort of supplemental pieces that came out way back when it was originally published I may try those I may not I don't know yet.)

Hi, please add my name to the 40 Piece Challenge. I appreciate the links to the blog posts. I hope to improve my sight reading skills.

Thanks so much for managing this event.

I uploaded piece number 1 of my 40 pieces a year https://soundcloud.com/user-147891862/exercise-1-oscar-peterson

I should mention that I am just beginner standard.

I'm new to the forum and pretty new to piano, count me in !

Thanks to Allysia @pianotv.net for suggesting this challenge on her youtube channel

Hi Paul109,

Welcome to Piano World! Nice to come across someone here who is familiar with YouTube Channel PianoTV.

I would love to do something like this. First time so let's see how it goes!

Thanks, Cam.

Nice to see someone else going through the same pieces I'm working on right now. My plan for getting started on my 40 pieces so far is the Oscar Peterson Exercises and Minuets and Christopher Norton's Microjazz Collection.

If Oscar Peterson puts out a book aimed at people of my standard, I've got to have it. Hope you enjoy them.

A big welcome to all the new friends from PianoTV.

You all have been added to the list (keeping track, second post of this thread). If I missed anyone, please let me know.

QuinGold, Ralphiano, and bSharp(C)yclist,

Thank you for help!

I would then like to include River Flows in You by Yiruma as my first piece of the year (although apparently everyone learns this piece 😂). I'll post recordings later!

Hello! I am a new member (heard of your site from PianoTV too) and would like to join the 40 pieces a year challenge. I don`t have equipment to record my playing, but I guess I can just write which pieces I`m playing. The first piece of the year would be Chopin Waltz in A-minor. I have been playing this for a while now, but intend to finish by the end of this week. Although of course it is not perfect and at some point I will probably return to it to polish it even more, but for now I will let it rest a little bit.
I love playing piano and am already excited to participate in this challenge.

Hello, I would like to join the challenge!

Please can you add me to the list.. I have created a list of all forty of the pieces. A mixture of Chopin preludes, Bach minuets and the entirety of Tchaikovsky's 'Album For The Young'.
I've been learning for a year and I really want to start tacking the piano much more seriously. It would be an ideal future career for me. I am only 15 so I don't know whether to invest yet.

The progress I make throughout this year will tell me.

This is my first time posting on Pianoworld-- I heard about this idea from Allysia's most recent Piano TV video, and thought I'd give this a try!

Happy New Year to all of you and welcome to all newcomers.

Thank you Anita for such a nice start of the (musical) year!

I don't have a piece ready yet, I'm not that fast, still practicing, will be back soon I hope to add my first piece of this year.

TO ALL NEW MEMBERS
Welcome!!! In addition to the 40 pieces per year, you might want to look at MOYD, Where you commit to sit at the piano bench every day, and to report any lapses. The information about this commitment is in the link below. Most of us find it highly motivating as we hate reporting that we have missed without a good reason

Here is an easy one to start off the year, and a composer I've never heard of before until a few days ago. I've been considering subscribing to Pianist Magazine. On pocketmags.com you can take a look at the interactive tablet sample they have available. This selection is in there, along with 3 others. It's an easy piece, but a good exercise for articulation as it says. I think I might get a subscription to the digital magazine.

I'll add a recording soon, most likely YouTube as opposed to SoundCloud. I think my minutes are running out. The sample online also has Sonatina in G (Attwood), Song Without Words (op 30, no 3) and an advance piece by Schumann. I think I might do the Attwood piece also, Mendelssohn .. maybe - that looks really challenging. The Schumann piece .. not anytime soon
