Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Themed Recital Sub-Forum Beethoven 250th Birthday Recital April 2020 signup thread

2020 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven! Let's have a Beethoven recital!

The recital will open for submissions April 1st 2020 and go "live" April 15th 2020.

Rules:
1) Only pieces written by Beethoven. Solo piano, transcriptions, arrangements - are all welcome.
2) All skill levels are welcome (this is the ABF!)
3) Duplicate submissions are fine - we are all unique.
4) Multiple submissions are fine - if you want to do a complete sonata, submit each movement separately.

We will use the recital submission software at recitals.pianoworld.com. All you need to participate is an mp3 recording of your performance (which is required). Videos are optional.

Sign-up in the last post below to pledge to play something. The sign-up is for fun, to see what other people are doing.
