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!

Long ago I learned and memorized Chopin posthumous Nocturne in C# minor, but I was always a bit sketchy/inaccurate in (1) the middle section that sounds a bit like guitar arpeggios, and (2) the final "A section" with coda including some fluttery runs. I'll focus on fixing those issues before the 26th.
This will be my first time (finally!) performing here in the Tonebase community and the first time in twenty years that I've played formal music for anyone other than myself. I'm mostly a jazz-rock pianist/singer/songwriter. Playing something fully composed by someone else rather than improvising my way through my own idiosyncratic chord changes is VERY INTIMIDATING TO ME. :-)
