ABOUT TONEBASE COMMUNITY CONCERTS:
These events are NOT live-streamed OR recorded, but are private zoom meetings where tonebase members can share their hard work and perform for each other!
These concerts can be played LIVE, or if you can't attend, you can submit a recording!
This is a GENEROUS and SUPPORTIVE space.
Performing is one of the best ways to push yourself, and really evaluate the work/progress you have made!
Repertoire is open to any piece!
Memorization is NOT required.
You can play select movements, or even sections of pieces! No need to perform a complete work!
Playing the piano is fun, but sharing your music with others is one of life's great joys. Join in on the fun and cheer each other on!
FOR OPTIMIZING YOUR ZOOM SETTINGS PLEASE SEE THE SHORT VIDEOS BELOW!
Because we use zoom for these concerts, it is important to have the best audio and visual settings available!

Dominic, there's a very odd and obscure Burrill Phillips Toccata that I played years ago and would like to work up again, possibly for this date. It's not spooky, but it's just strange--very angular, a little jazzy, a bit impertinent. Almost nobody knows it and I can't even find a YouTube video performance of it. A bit of a Halloween "shock."
-
I would like to put myself down for this concert as well, please.
I have a piece in mind but will confirm later. EDIT: I will play Mykola Lysenko's "By a cradle" op33 -
I would like to play in this concert. I, too, am considering a specific piece already. It's about 8 minutes long.
Update: If there's enough time, I'd like to play two pieces, actually:
- Abel Decaux: Minuit passe (Clair de Lune No. 1)
- Claude Debussy: ...Ce qu'a vu le vent d'ouest (No. VII from the first book of "Préludes")
The two pieces are quite different in style, but they were written only 10 years apart and fit together nicely as an an eerie little Halloween set.
-
Hi everyone,
I would like to play The Headless Horseman by Stephen Montague.
Short, sharp and furious plus a few hellraising moments make it perfect for Halloween! Looking forward to hearing all the other pieces as well.
-
Angela Fogg Hellraising music is my favorite! Can't wait!
-
Gail Starr I don’t think you will be disappointed!
-
Angela Fogg I can't wait! What are you going to wear?
-
Gail Starr Oh my goodness, I hadn’t even thought of that! Got a cute little hair thing, actually now I start to think about it I have a few Halloween things… Will you be dressing up yourself?
-
Angela Fogg I need a ghost costume! Maybe just a nice white sheet? (I already have a big fuzzy spider who can hang out on the piano, LOL!)
-
Gail Starr A sheet sounds perfect! Might be tricky to play in???
-
Angela Fogg So true! I might have to cut holes for my arms and eyes...
-
Gail Starr I was imagining 10 small holes and the ten little fingers poking through but obviously that would be silly!
-
Angela Fogg Not silly at all. I love that idea!
-
-
I will be out of town that day. But, if I can locate a piano I'd like to play William Bolcom's "Ghost Rag". I'll confirm once I find a piano, LOL!
-
Gail Starr that piece is such a charmer - I actually only know it in the version for violin and piano, but it's just lovely.
-
Alexander Weymann We both always like the same pieces!
-
Gail Starr it's remarkable, isn't it?
-
Alexander Weymann Yes!
-
Gail Starr I didn’t know this piece at all but I really like it! Thank you for mentioning it and I look forward to hearing you play it in a few weeks!
-
Angela Fogg I think I might have to record it ahead of time because I won't be home that afternoon. But that's OK, I think?
-
Gail Starr I think so. Either way, looking forward to it!
-
-
Hi everyone! Since "repertoire is open to any piece...", I would like to play Schubert's Impromptu op 142 nº 2 in A flat major. It's not a spooky piece or something similar, but it's that kind of music always welcome in a recital, I think...
-
Juan Carlos Olite I have never met a classical musician who doesn't like Schubert, and I don't believe I ever will. Looking forward!
-
Alexander Weymann You're absolutely right!
-
-
Yihan will play Liebermann Nocturne 4. In case he doesn't school off that day, we will record a video, would that work?
