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! 🕸️🎃👻

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!

    • Unfortunately I'm gonna have to bail out of this one.

      I have been working on Scarlatti K30 "Cat Fugue" and the last 1/4 is still very well under tempo atm. Maybe next time. 

      All the best to the rest of you who will be playing 🙂

    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!

      Hi, I'd like to change my piece to Chopin Op. 38... The idea of performing Bach is just too spooky for me. Thank you!

    • Judy Kuan Well it is the perfect ballade for this recital! Looking forward to hear it! (I’d be scared of the Bach too)

      Judy Kuan Hey Judy, if it's anything like your Ballade No. 4, this is going to be great.

    • Judy Kuan I think that’s a wonderful idea, especially since Chopin Op. 38 isn’t scary at all… 😂

    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).

      Gail Starr I just made another comment with the first name in question, and it also went to "review." I find this to be quite hilarious!! It makes me wonder what other words trigger the algorithm.🤔

    • Michelle R Gail Starr try the six letter word, starting with “c”, indicating the high point or summit of something! That’s what tripped me up once. 😆

      Gail Starr Gail, I can't wait to hear your take on this really lovely suite.  I recommend Magdalena's Tonebase lesson on the Bach Dance Suites to anyone undertaking these pieces, although I expect that you've likely checked that out already!

      Peter Golemme You’re correct!  I started learning the Suite after I watched her excellent set of classes.  Have you done any of the Suites?
