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!

Interest to participate, but I always want to do it but don't do it, lol! I will try this time, probably playing some Domenico Scarlatti Sonata. Maybe! Will see!
-
Peter Golemme Yes! It is! Thanks Peter! I will!
-
-
Hi Dominic Cheli , is it possible to give us some suggestion of spooki piano pieces that will be possible to play for this Halloween concert ? That will be great and give us an idee! Thank You for that!
-
Aline Valade Let me put together a list of ideas!
-
Dominic Cheli Aline Valade Here are some ideas!
Moonlight Sonata (1st mov).
Grieg “Hall of the mountain king”
bach: Toccata in D minor
Chopin: Funeral March (from Sonata no.2)
Rachmaninoff: Prelude in C-sharp minor
Rachmaninoff: Etude op.33 no.8 in g minor
Chopin: Prelude in E minor (from 24 preludes)
Chopin: Prelude in C minor (from 24 preludes)
Schumann: Knecht Ruprecht op.68 no.12
Tchaikovsky: Nocturne op.19 no.4
-
Dominic Cheli All great ideas! Thank you!
-
Dominic Cheli Lovely list! or Should I say spooooky list? What about adding Liszt's transcription of Erlkönig by Schubert? I hope someone would play anyway. The list of pieces submitted by everyone itself sounds quite daunting and "terrific" to me...!
Question, can I still attend even if I am not ready to perform this time, but wanted to see and possibly be inspired for some other time...? -
Dominic Cheli Great ! Thank You Dominic!
-
Eunji Kim I can't imagine that anyone would object to your sitting in an listening without playing in the recital. I've done that several times, when I've not had something ready but wanted to hear the progress, development and the unique musical expression & contributions of each of our Tonebase colleagues. Plus hearing everyone else play is great motivation to get a piece together yourself. Performers come from all different levels and everyone is extremely supportive & encouraging.
-
Dominic Cheli We could add Debussy'es La cathédrale engloutie to this list -it's spooky rise and sinking back into the mists could only be attributed to the supernatural!
And probably some of the Pictures in Moussorgky's Exhibition were pretty spooky.
-
Peter Golemme Thank you so much! That's very welcoming and encouraging!
-
Peter Golemme OMG - you've nailed "La Cathedrale"! I actually tried to start learning it earlier this year, had a nightmare about it and moved on to something cheerier. Les Minstrelles.

-
Count me in! I’d like to play live and I’ll come back to update which piece I plan to play.
-
Andrea LeVan I’m going to try to learn this really fun version of Phantom of the Opera arranged by Aysedeniz Gokcin if I can learn it in time (I haven’t started it yet), or maybe Musa by Manolo Carrasco. Both fun pieces
-
Andrea LeVan can’t find the music for Musa. Can you help?
-
Dennis Douberteen www.ManoloCarrasco.com should have the link, I hope
-
Dennis Douberteen hi yes I can! Mr. Carrasco is so generous that he gives many of his compositions away for free on his website. Here you go!

Andrea LeVan Thank you very much. Big help
-
Gail Starr Thanks to you also. The link works.
-
Andrea LeVan ok so put me down to play the Phantom of the Baroque Opera (The Phantom of the Opera and Bach Concerto in D Minor Mash-Up) - arranged by Aysedeniz Gokcin
-
Andrea LeVan She's great! Very good choice!
-
-
I’d like to perform “September” from Fanny Hensel’s “das Jahr.”
-
Thurmond R I’ve never heard of that. She was such a wonderful composer; I am truly looking forward to listening to it.
-
Trying again - here's the recording we made during the Community Concert today, for anyone who wasn't able to attend.
-
Michelle R Thank you, I was looking forward to it, but joined too late. Wonderful rendition!
-
-
I'm not yet sure what to play--ideally, it will be Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 9 in f minor, however I started it three weeks ago, and it is a Chopin Etude, so it might not be ready. I'll send in an update in a couple weeks, and if I cannot play the Etude, I will include my replacement piece in the reply.
