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!

If everything is alright, I'll submit a video - Burgmuller, op.100 #15 Ballade
-
Elena_Ms I don’t think I have ever heard anything by Burgmüller, even though I know he has been a pillar of German piano pedagogy since time immemorial. Looking forward!
-
Alexander Weymann It will be my very first recording as "to play in front of the audience". I'm visibly shaking )))
-
Elena_Ms I can tell you from happy experience that you couldn’t POSSIBLY find a kinder and more supportive audience than this community. You’ve chosen the perfect venue for your first performance in front of listeners!

Elena_Ms
Here is the video
Funny thing that the only more or less a good record I manged to get was while playing for my teacher, not during numerous attempt to perform as on stage. So, my apologies for not "a concert" look and view.
-
Elena_Ms Great job!
-
-
I’d like to play, either Schumann’s Kinderszenen (about 15min) if there’s time or Brahms’ Ballade opus 10 no. 2 (about 5 minutes). Thank you.
-
I think the Brahms makes the most sense considering the quantity of performers for this concert, so please schedule me for the Brahms op. 10 no. 2. Thank you.

Hi all, I would have loved to attend this, but a combination of work and unavailability on the concert date have conspired against it. Hopefully will be in attendance for the next one :) Derek
-
The existence of the recital inspired me to record! My son might play something too. Here's my contribution (Debussy Arabesque 1). Looking forward to listening to all of you!
-
I would like to join and submit a recording of the second movement of the Beethoven Sonata Op.27 in E minor!
-
Khaled that piece is so beautiful - like a balm for the soul! And not heard very often.
-
Khaled I am sorry, but Beethoven Op 27 in E minor? Are you referring to Op 27 No 1 or Op 27 No 2? Or maybe No 27 (which is Op 90) is the one you referred to? Please correct me is I am wrong. Thank you!
-
Heng-Pin Chen sorry for the mistake. It is the Sonata no.27 Op. 90 in E minor!
-
Khaled Thanks a lot for confirming
-
Heng-Pin Chen
you’re so right, of course - when I read “E minor”, my mind immediately autocorrected from “op. 27” to “No. 27”. Good pickup!
-
-
Alexander Weymann it is indeed! Very smooth flowing with some Beethoven dramatic moments.
-
I would like to play a piece by a composer I recently discovered, Alexandra Streliski (celebrating that it is a woman composer). The piece is called “Air de Famille”
-
Kay Hanna looking forward to hearing it!!
-
rebecca LAM Thank you Rebecca! (:
-
-
I would like to perform live.
