But hey, if you're in the Halloween spirit, let the eerie vibes of the season inspire your piece!

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!

Iād like to play the Bach French Suite #2 (unless I can think of something spookier!)
-
Gail Starr Iāve never played any of the suites. Iām still slogging my way through the Well Tempered Clavier ā- āAND 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.
-
-
I would like to play something too. I donāt know what will be ready yet but will choose something when closer to the date.
-
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!
Iād like to play Marc-AndrĆ© Hamelinās arrangement of āTico-Tico no FubĆ”ā by Zequinha de Abreu (3 minutes).
-
Alexander Weymann I had to google this. You pick the most interesting pieces! Canāt wait to hear your performance.
-
Alexander Weymann What a fun arrangement! Canāt wait to hear you, Alexander!
-
Wowza :o
Alexander Weymann
-
Tammy yeah, well, thanks, but you havenāt heard me play it yet. Itās a treacherous high-wire act; no idea why Iām doing this to myself.
-
Alexander Weymann wowza! lol that sounds really fun and really tricky lol!
-
Alexander Weymann Yeah, well, you're clearly just a fun-loving kind of guy! You'll do AWESOME!
-
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!
-
Alexander Weymann Nothing like increasing the pressure on yourself! I'm sure it's going to be great!
-
-
I would love to play some Brahms Waltzes.
-
Yihan: Feux Follet or Hamelin Suite aĢ l'ancienne ( maybe 4 pieces of this suite)
-
it's officiaL: Hamelin: Suite Ć l'ancienne --PraĆ©mbule--Air avec agrĆ©ments--Gigue
Unfortunately, Yihan couldn't perform live. He will send a recording that he did yesterday instead.

-
Sorry, but I wouldnāt manage making recording before the concert. My battery
is low, and I just donāt 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 āRaindropā.
-
Sachi that piece has a very mysterious and spooky feel to it! good choice!
-
Sachi isnāt 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, Iām a huge fan of Chopin. I learned anecdotes from George Sand and other musicologistsā writings. Her children and sick Chopinās Winter in Valldemossa on Majorca, and scenes behind the time Chopin composed it. Spooky it is
-
Dear all whom attended Halloween concert
I am sorry for being empty on my slot. I wrote a little comment about withdrawing my intention, but I was not clear enough. Wish you all good health and piano practice
-
-
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!
-
Aline Valade Go for it Aline! this is the perfect place to take a chance and try out a piece!
