Ursina’s practice diary

Hello,

I am still very new to the Tonebase community. Not sure whether this is how it should be done 😃

I’m working on the following pieces:

Bach - English Suite No 2

Schubert - Impromptu Op 142 No 3

Chopin - Polonaise-Fantaisie

  • Welcome! Fantastic pieces you are working on!

    This is absolutely how it’s done. The diary is your space, so you decide how to use it. Would love to see some posts on these pieces, if you want to share some videos! :)

  • I’ve neglected my practice diary for quite a while. I am now working on a completely different repertoire: 

    Clara Schumann’s Sonata in g minor (1st and 3rd movements), Beethoven Op 78, Debussy’s Prelude Ondine and a very short Gigue by Mozart, KV 574. 
     

    Anyone else working on some of those pieces?

    • Ursina Boehm Can’t wait to hear you perform these amazing works. While I am not learning any of these, I am learning the Schubert Impromptu you expertly played in your earlier post 😊

      Ursina Boehm Hello Ursina.  I played Op. 78 many many years ago. I was entranced by it after hearing Russell Sherman play it as part of a complete Beethoven cycle in Jordan Hall in Boston in the 1970's. It was much less familiar to people than the other Sonatas (many assumed I was talking about Op. 79 when I said I was working on it). I used it as part of a successful audition to the Manhattan School of Music (though after much soul searching about whether I could realistically  expect to become a concert pianist, I decided not to enroll (and have always wondered what if)). In digitizing some of my old cassettes recently I found a recording I had made of the first  movement that I had totally forgotten about. All of which is a long way of saying I love this Sonata and it holds a special place in my heart and memory. I enjoyed hearing you play it in the recent Challenge and look forward to its continued evolution in your hands.
