Week THREE: Share your love! (Watch Party is next week!)
Hello and welcome to the WEEK THREE Main Thread for this challenge! 馃ぉ
Alright everyone - this is the thread where we'll all be posting our daily updates.
Make sure you've read the rules before replying (<- click)
Twice a week between February 6 - 13 I hope to be reading your daily updates in this very thread right here!
Here is this week's assignment!
Because the WATCH PARTY is next week, February 14th at 11am PT let's do the following this week!
1. OVERALL GOAL: Record your piece!
2. OPTIONAL: say a few words about why you choose your piece, and what you love so much about it BEFORE or AFTER you play! (Before is nice, because then we can listen with a guided imagination through your words!) You can submit two videos (one of your words and one of the music) I will then put them together into ONE video.
3. OPTIONAL: Record your piece at least TWICE! Why? Because we want you to submit your favorite recording, and tell us why you choose the one that you did. Was it because of technical reasons? Musical ones? It is important to practice evaluating your work through words!

I'm glad I was able to have some good practice sessions this week to get threw the nocturne for this challenge. So here is the Nocturne in D-flat major op 27 nr 2 by Chopin.
Playing Chopin is a bit like returning to my first love at the piano, so that is why I chose this piece.

Happy to participate in this community of piano lovers! Here is my final video.
In this first movement Beethoven writes a poetic fantasy able to unit his most delicate emotions with his usual tragic nobility. Very glad to share it with all of you.
