Re: Week 1: Beethoven Birthday Challenge – Choose Your Piece! @Vidhya Bashyam @Judy Kuan Thanks so much, Judy and Vidhya. I've found that if I'm patient and achieve a certain level of proficiency hands separate, that hands together just works better!…

Re: Week 1: Beethoven Birthday Challenge – Choose Your Piece! @Marc M Nice start! I do the same - memorize as quickly as I can so that I can pop in and play during any brief moments I might have throughout the day.

Re: Week 1: Beethoven Birthday Challenge – Choose Your Piece! Week 1: Playing hands separately. I'm having difficulty with the chords - my hands aren't super small, but small enough that reaching and playing 4 notes at once is a challenge.

Re: Holiday Recital "Winter Melodies of 2024" @Peter Golemme Thanks much, Peter. It's a fun little piece, and the second movement is lovely - I hope to do it justice in a month!

Re: Holiday Recital "Winter Melodies of 2024" @Sam Smith And when it does snow, everything shuts down! (I spent the first 28 years of my life in Alabama.) Looking forward to hearing your playing.

Re: Holiday Recital "Winter Melodies of 2024" EDIT: Please remove me from the live playing section. I've had a lot of stress pop up in my life recently, so I need to remove myself from the live concert.…

Re: Week 1: Beethoven Birthday Challenge – Choose Your Piece! I'll be playing a German Dance in C Major (WoO 8). I've selected it because I want to participate in the challenge - I've missed the fun of working alongside all my Tonebase Buddies - and it's one…

Re: Beethoven's Birthday Challenge! It looks like I'll be working on a German Dance in C Major, WoO 8. I already have Clementi and a Bach piece, so we're choosing to go a little lighter on the Beethoven.

Re: Group 4 Interestingly, I didn't sign up for this 2-week intensive, but received an email this morning welcoming me to the group. I wonder if Tonebase is trying to tell me something....

Re: Halloween Recital! I don't have anything ready, as I'm in the beginning stages of two pieces (unless the Clementi C Major Sonatina, 1st movement, A section way under tempo would be ok to play).

Re: Halloween Recital! @Gail Starr I just made another comment with the first name in question, and it also went to "review." I find this to be quite hilarious!! It makes me wonder what other words trigger the algorithm.

Re: Halloween Recital! @Alexander Weymann interesting....it did have some German in it. I wonder if the first name of the composer my son is choosing to play is a "trigger" word (Felix Mendelssohn's sister).

Re: Summer's Crescendo: the August Concert! I'm signing up, tentatively, for this concert. I'm uncertain regarding what I'll play, and will confirm closer to the date. Maybe the Schumann I'm working on, or the Kabalevsky.
