Welcome to the Holiday Recital!
Celebrate the season with us by sharing the music you love! While holiday-themed pieces are always a hit, feel free to play anything that brings you joy.
To sign up, simply reply to this topic with your repertoire, and you're in!
And if you're feeling festive, add some holiday flair to your performance—costumes, decorations, and cheer are all welcome!
General information and Guidelines below!
Reply to this topic with your name and repertoire selection if you would like to perform! If you don't know what you want to play yet, you can always just let us know your intent!
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!
Check out these videos depending on the device you are using!
FOR LAPTOPS/COMPUTERS

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. I may make a recording, but even the good stress of preparing to play live is too much right now.
OK, I'm going to challenge myself to play something that's longer than 45 seconds: Clementi C Major Sonatina, op. 36 no. 1, 1st and 2nd movements.

I am thinking of an improvisation on “jolly old Saint Nicholas“ or perhaps some other seasonal tune.
Also, if there’s time, I THINK my F# minor Prelude & Fugue from WTC Bk2 could be ready by then. I keep thinking I’ve got it memorized, and then, every time I play it, a different section seems to fly out of memory, as though escaping for a frolic and detour, before coming back the next day, whereupon I inevitably forget a different section! Obviously more work to do on the memorization! I want to challenge myself to play it from memory, but it would be most unseemly to subject the rest of you to my cursing and fuming should a lapse pop up!

I’d like to sign up with Schubert sonata d959, 1.st movement (Allegro), giving me a push to finish this piece. (If concert program get’s too big, I can switch to a shorter piece)
