While this recital has a hauntingly fun name, don't feel like you're stuck playing spooky tunesā€”pick whatever you love! šŸŽ¶
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! šŸ•øļøšŸŽƒšŸ‘»

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!

      Gail Starr Iā€™ve never played any of the suites. Iā€™m still slogging my way through the Well Tempered Clavier ā€”- ā€œAND loving itā€, as Maxwell Smart used to say.  I love the Suites and Partitas, may I only live long enough to assay them someday.!

      Peter Golemme Maxwell Smart!  Love it!  I'm kind of bopping back and forth...did 2 P&F's last Spring and doing the Suite this autumn.  Too much gorgeous stuff to keep to one type of masterwork.

    • rebecca LAM I am going to play Beethoven sonata pathetique 3rd movement.

    • rebecca LAM i played this before when I just finished learning it. It completely fell apart when I have to perform it. I have been working on it to polish it. hopefully, I can overcome my performance anxiety and just learn to enjoy playing for others. I will play live. I am both nervous and excited.

  • So sorry, friends - I now have to sing at the wedding of a dear friend from church; the wedding is on 10/26 at 2 pm EST with 12:45 pm call time for the choristers. So, I'll unfortunately have to skip this Community Concert, but I promise I will play the piece at the next one that I'll be able to attend! 

    Iā€™d like to play Marc-AndrĆ© Hamelinā€™s arrangement of ā€œTico-Tico no FubĆ”ā€ by Zequinha de Abreu (3 minutes).

      Alexander Weymann Alexander, speaking for myself, I appeciate that you would take a risk like this and share the results with us.  I believe that challenging oneself in this manner introduces some fear-induced adrenaline into one's performance which can sharpen your perceptions and enhance the excitement and expressiveness of a performance.  In the hands of a musician as accomplished as yourself this, the results are sure to be most interesting and exciting!

       

      And, as is true for everyone performing here, if that tightrope should snap for any reason, we;'ve got you covered with a safety net of supportiveness.

    • Peter Golemme that is the sweetest and kindest message I have read in a long time on what is already a very supportive platform. Thank you; now I really have no excuse anymore and will definitely play it! šŸ˜

    Sorry, but I wouldnā€™t manage making recording before the concert. My battery šŸ”‹ is low, and I just donā€™t have enough energy, to be honest. 
     

    Hi! I would like to prepare recording for the Halloween concert. I will play Chopin Prelude op.28-15 ā€˜Raindropā€™.

      Sachi that piece has a very mysterious and spooky feel to it! good choice!

    • Sachi isnā€™t there this apocryphal story about Chopin composing it after a nightmare with raindrops relentlessly dropping on his chest and resonating darkly (or something like that)?

      Alexander Weymann Hi! Thank you for your comment. Yes, Iā€™m a huge fan of Chopin. I learned anecdotes from George Sand and other musicologistsā€™ writings. Her children and sick Chopinā€™s Winter in Valldemossa on Majorca, and scenes behind the time Chopin composed it. Spooky it isšŸ˜‰
