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: 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.
