Re: ToneBase Scriabin Stage
I think this may be posted somewhere else on Tonebase, but this is the recording from the Russian Music Competition I participated in 3 months ago. Scriabin Etude in C# minor, opus 2 no. 1.

Re: Interactive Masterclass with Tony Yike Yang
If recordings are accepted, I could submit a recording of the Chopin Eb Major Nocturne (op. 9 no. 2). My mom has a piano lesson during the 11am hour, so I most likely could NOT perform live unless…

Here is a setting I composed for Mass during Lent (no Pater Noster yet). It is being sung throughout Lent at my parish this year.

Re: "Music that you LOVE!" Concert
Yes, I can participate! I have a class that ends at 11am PT, so I probably shouldn’t be placed near the beginning of the line-up.

Re: "Music that you LOVE!" Concert
I don’t have my schedule yet for this day, but I hope to be able to participate in the concert and play Chopin’s Eb Major Nocturne (op. 9 no. 2). I’ll confirm my availability closer to the date.

Re: Week 3: Final Submissions!
@Sindre Skarelven Thank you very much! It seems to me that producing such a singing melody is the "etude" part of this etude, so I'm glad you noticed it.

Re: Week 3: Final Submissions!
@Alexander Weymann Thank you very much! I was trying to emulate the Bel Canto style Chopin loved so much (using Callas as a reference), so I'm glad to hear I got the emotional side of it!

Re: Week 3: Final Submissions!
@Ken Locke Thank you! Since Chopin was known for loving Bel Canto singing, I had been listening to Maria Callas and trying to emulate her style of rubato.
