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!

Hi everyone, I would like to play 3 of Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives which are quite short! Hopefully I can play them live. Derek

I would love to join - I think I’d like to play a piece I’ve been working on written by a female composer named Lucy Hackett - from a book of 22 Nocturns inspired by Chopin - it’s called “The Moth”

Hi Dominic, here is the Chopin Sonata 3. I don’t have time to record the first movement again separatly. So I send this recording where I have played for my friends 4 weeks ago. First movement was the best. See you next Satursay.

It seems I'm away for a little weekend trip next week, so unfortunately I can't play live. But I will be logged in for the concert, listening. So I decided to make a recording of my as well. This is Mozart K332 in F-major. Still a work in progress. Feel free to skip it in the concert if it gets too long!
Looking forward to hear everyone!-
Sindre Skarelven hi Sindre, I couldn’t help but take a sneak peek at this while I have been traveling, and have really enjoyed it. I would call it a very spirited lively, well-thought-out & nuanced performance. I’m glad you posted the whole sonata. It was a lot of fun to hear it all the way through. Mozart seems to be playing around with a succession of seemingly unrelated themes, many of which reappear in the development sections. It has a great feeling of spontaneity to it, right down to the surprise coda to end the 3rd movement, and you convey all of that extremely well! And all from memory without a flinch! Great job!

I won't be home that date, I wish I could join.
I see there's plenty of joy and summer warmth in this schedule: lots of bright Bach I'm so happy for, this time! Happy Summer, y'all!
Ciao!

Hi tonebase crew! I have been absent for a while. Would love to perform this weekend if possible. I have been working on the 3rd movement of
Beethoveen’s sonata no 17 in d minor.
