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!

Mozart - Say Rondo alla turnaround jazz... is it OK?
-
Angelina Tan Of course!
-

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!
-
Peter Golemme Can't wait to hear you!
-
Peter Golemme I hope you try to play from memory if you want to! That's one aspect of these concerts that I really appreciate: the ability to try performing live from memory on one's own piano, instead of having to do so while adapting to another instrument.

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)
Update: I’ve had too much other work lately, so sadly no time to practice the Schubert. I will switch my piece to Mozart sonata in F-major k332 first movement. (I will perform the Schubert sonata at a later community concert)
-
Sindre Skarelven Looking forward to hearing you play this!
-
Sindre Skarelven doesn’t look like a long program at all so far; I’m sure everyone would love to hear your Schubert. I know I would!
-
Alexander Weymann Thanks, Alexander. Unfortunately, I’ve been having too much other work lately, so no time to practice the Schubert. I am switching to a joyful Mozart movement instead. (Will perform the Schubert at a later community concert)
-
Sindre Skarelven well, that’s nice, too - and fortuitous; we’ll complement each other with our selections!
-
Alexander Weymann Yes, perfect!
-
-
I'd like to play Liszt Un Sospiro and/or Shumann/Liszt Widmung.
-
GMG2021 both beautiful!
-
-
Hi!
I’d like to perform Chopin Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 64 No. 3!-
Miyoung Choi beautiful!
-
-
I'd like to play an arrangement of Christmas Time is Here by Vince Guaraldi, from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
-
Douglas McCarthy wonderful!
-
-
I would like to play the 3rd mvmt of the Ravel Sonatine.....somehow, it reminds me of Christmas!
-
Graeme Cameron Wilkinson love that piece, but I’ll have to think long and hard about the Christmas connection you’re postulating!
-
Graeme Cameron Wilkinson Alexander Weymann must be the blistery whirlwind of a snow storm kind of Christmas
I love that piece and can't wait to hear it!! -
Alexander Weymann Maybe it's the fourths, which are bell-like (typical of Ravel). Also the connection with the mélodie "Noël des jouets" which was composed at the same time....
-
Graeme Cameron Wilkinson oh, wow - both great points! I’ll be hearing this piece with fresh ears now. Looking forward!
-
-
I'd like to play Brahms op. 118 no. 5.
-
Thurmond R Amazing! Such a wonderful piece!
-
-
Sorry, I have to pull out as I’m getting sick. Too much sugar & not enough sleep! Have a great concert.
