Halloween Recital!
Welcome to our next Community Recital!
Welcome to the Halloween Recital
While this recital has a hauntingly fun name, don't feel like you're stuck playing spooky tunes—pick whatever you love! 
To sign up, just "reply to this topic" with your repertoire, and you're in!
But hey, if you're in the Halloween spirit, let the eerie vibes of the season inspire your piece! 
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!

De Falla: Danza ritual del fuego (Ritual Fire Dance)

I would like to sign up but not sure which piece yet. I will update closer to the time.
-
Hello, I would like to sign up with „Ondine“ by Debussy.
-
Hello, I'd like to sign up with Bach's Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue (BWV 903). My goal is to perform either the Fantasy or the Fugue, and perhaps record the other for folks to listen in their own time, TBD which way. Thank you!
-
If time, I would like to play a Rachmaninoff double: Prelude in C#-minor Op 3 no2, and prelude in D-major op 23 no 4
-
I’d like to play the Bach French Suite #2 (unless I can think of something spookier!)
-
Gail Starr Looking forward to hearing this, Gail! (Thurmond and I are signing up, too, but our comments are "pending approval" for some strange reason.)
-
Michelle R that has happened to me, too, and more than once! I honestly think that even the most innocent text can contain certain “trigger words” which can also be used in a more questionable context and which therefore alert the tonebase algorithm, prompting it to flag the post for “secondary inspection”.
-
Alexander Weymann interesting....it did have some German in it.
I wonder if the first name of the composer my son is choosing to play is a "trigger" word (Felix Mendelssohn's sister). -
Michelle R I bet it WAS her first name that was the trigger
!

-
I would like to play something too. I don’t know what will be ready yet but will choose something when closer to the date.
-
I’d like to play Marc-André Hamelin’s arrangement of “Tico-Tico no Fubá” by Zequinha de Abreu (3 minutes).
-
Alexander Weymann I had to google this. You pick the most interesting pieces! Can’t wait to hear your performance.
-
Alexander Weymann What a fun arrangement! Can’t wait to hear you, Alexander!

Wowza :o

Tammy yeah, well, thanks, but you haven’t heard me play it yet. It’s a treacherous high-wire act; no idea why I’m doing this to myself.
