Re: May Melodies Concert!
I would like to submit a recording of Mendelssohn's Op 14, Rondo Capriccioso. I won't be ready to perform it live, but would love to (finally) polish it up and start sharing it. Thanks!

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Miyoung Choi Absolutely gorgeous! Similar sentiments as @Vidhya Bashyam - how does it get better from here?! I don't know the second nocturne at all, thank you for such a lovely introduction to it.

Here's where I'm at after Week 1 on Scriabin Op. 8 No. 12 Etude in D# minor... Thankfully it's short so half-speed is still only ~5 minutes! I documented what I did, what I noticed,…

@Alexander Weymann I hope you do! Based on my readthru today, I think you and @Marc M would play it very well. Maybe we should group request it as a "live" on Tonebase :)

Re: Week 1: Choose your piece!
@Marc M I felt the same way! But it's pretty short and I now have more Chopin etudes under my belt, so we'll see... Yes, there are some 11ths too, definitely a lot of rolling involved.
