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!

I would like to play Schubert sonata d959 movement 1. A piece and a sonata, that has become very dear to my heart.
-
Sindre Skarelven no problem! hope to you here you next time, perhaps the springtime recital in March!
-
Dominic Cheli Thanks, Dominic! Yes, will sign up for the Springtime recital!

I am thinking that the Chopin Valse Op posth. 70 No 3 in Db would be very suitable as a Valentine's piece. It's very sweet
-
gregprochlin That would be great!

Hello. I was wondering if I needed to attach my recording for the piece I wanted to play; I haven't recorded it. - S. Bortkiewicz Sonata №2, 1st movement.
-
Anastasiia Hi Anastasia, there's not any requirement that I'm aware of to submit a recording if you wish to play live. It's an option to submit a recording in lieu of a live performance. I've never heard this piece and I suspect many others may not be that familiar with it, so I know we'd all love to hear your performance!
-
Anastasiia Hi! Some people make recordings that they would like to share, instead of playing LIVE. If you have a recording just share the YouTube link here!

I would like to join by posting recording.
Hi! I have tendencies to fall in love with pieces my teacher gets me introduced to. They’re very special to me, among many wonderful music. Kind of privilege? Isn’t this feeling recognizable to you?
I love Chopin and many composers in Romantic era. This is one of my favorites by Schumann: Träumerei, without repeat so it takes 2 minutes.
-
Looking forward to hearing everyone! I'd like to change my 2nd piece from the Scriabin Nocturne for left hand to the Chopin Revolutionary Étude.
-
Hello all, I sadly will be at a life celebration for a friend is at same time as this event today. I have uploaded the Glass. Best to all.

Hello everyone. I'm so disappointed that I had to miss this concert, as I was really looking forward to hearing the pieces each of you said you were preparing. I had a schedule conflict but managed to upload a video at the very last minute to the chat, which Dominic kindly said he could probably get onto the agenda. Here it is for those interested; my little rendition of "Heart and Soul" by Hoagy Carmichael. It has a few mistakes, but it seemed to have a good feel to it, so I thought I could comfortably share it:
Part of the "deal" with these community concerts is that they are not recorded for subsequent viewing, so that even the shyest contributor will feel safe in performing works-in-progress or trying new things, etc., without its necessarily being immortalized in a recording that could be revisited. But if you are not too shy to post recordings of your pieces, I for one would be very entusiastic about getting to hear them! I'm going through the ones already posted and really enjoying them.
Thanks & hope to see you all again live, soon at an upcoming concert!

Peter Golemme thank you for sharing!!! couldn't help but smiling while listening to your rendition
-
Priya Viseskul Thank you Priya. It makes my day to think I could bring a smile to the face of a listener! Sometimes music fills me with such joy and exuberance, I feel it just comes spilling out of me, unabashed & unimpeded by wrong notes, infelicitous choices or technical imperfections. and I get the same feeling when hearing the heartfelt contributions of our colleagues here.
-
Peter Golemme This is so delightful. I, too, was smiling and tapping my feet as I listened.
And here's a recording of the little piece I played on Saturday - just for you! It's a work in progress, so I'm playing below tempo. https://youtu.be/2s2HOs5Y1Bk

Michelle R Dear Michelle, thank you for listening to my offering and for sharing your Burgmuller. You've got it totally under your fingers, and it sounds quite nice at this tempo. I also foresee that you are going to be able to increase your tempo and develop this into a nice little showpiece for yourself. (Now I don't want to upset your teacher by encouraging you to play faster, so I will add that one should only do so gradually and without sacrificing accuracy! -- but what I'm really saying is that it appears that all the fundamentals are in place for you to start pushing on the tempo.)
I don't know much about Burgmuller but I've noticed that lots of our Tonebase colleagues are working on his pieces. They all seem well-constructed, nice to listen to, and especially well-written for the hand to get maximum effect from the amount of movement involved. Something of a reprieve from the uncompromising intricacies and complexities of Bach, which I know you are working on also. I've found some dusty old tomes on my shelf with Burgmuller pieces & your & other performances here are encouraging me to explore them in a little more depth. thanks again & keep up the good work!
