I won’t be able to record my playing on time. I am in London and won’t be back home before Tuesday. I will try to make a recording on Tuesday or Wednesday. I wish you all a wonderful
“Watch party”
-
Ursina Boehm you will be in time for the year end recital, Ursina!
-
Ursina Boehm I finally made another recording of the first movement. Much too late, but at least I am in time for the Valentine’s concert
not sure whether anyone will be reading this. If someone does, I would be interested to get some feedback.
Best regards,
Ursina
-
Ursina Boehm So melodic and clean! Wonderful work!
-
Ursina Boehm That's very lovely Ursina. Yes several of us are still checking in on this thread. 4 weeks is just enough to get started on most of the pieces presented here. Sounds like you've got this movement thoroughly learned and under your fingers with your customary sparklingly clean technique. I look forward to hearing it again as it sinks in and springs back out from your heart.

Judy Kuan thank you, Judy
I still need some time to “digest” and then hopefully I dare to play by heart. I memorized this first movement, but I still feel not safe when recording. Unfortunately, I am not a fast learner -
Peter Golemme thanks for listening
you are absolutely right. It still needs time so that I can play more freely.

Here is my recording of the theme from opus 109, 3rd movement.
-
Thurmond R lovely playing, Thurmond! This is such a beautiful movement!
-
Thurmond R It's one of the most beautiful Beethoven melodies, nice playing Thurmond!
-
Thurmond R Nice performance!

I’m going to do my best to make it to the watch party tomorrow but unfortunately my life has just been total chaos the last few weeks with so many things going on and deadlines. Too many irons in the fire as they say. So unfortunately I just haven’t been able to sit down and get Fur Elise recorded for tomorrow.
