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.
-
I've had to drop the Andante Favori (again!), in lieu of focusing on other rep (again!). But looking forward to watching and being inspired by everyone else's progress videos!
-
Hi everyone. I won’t be posting, because I need more time to get the piece together. Happy birthday Ludwig, such enrichment he is for the world of music and I’m grateful.
-
Here's what I've got! Hope it's not too late, haha. Beethoven's Bagatelle in b minor Op. 126 No. 4. I added his manuscript because it's interesting (and amusing).
I look forward to hearing everyone's work soon!

Marc M Cool! And pretty awesome to see Beethoven's cryptic handwriting along side ... I mean, thanks to all the editors
Love the funny moments (esp the awkward silence 
). The slow section actually reminded me a bit of his Pastorale Sonata. -
Priya Viseskul Thanks! And YES, I'm so glad editors deciphered everything for us.
The moments of sudden silence make me think of listening to an old LP player...it's as if the pianist is lifting the needle and dropping it back down somewhere, haha.
