CALL FOR RECORDINGS for upcoming Virtual Masterclass with Dominic Cheli
ANNOUNCEMENT:
We are delighted to open this thread for an exciting opportunity and unique virtual experience for ALL community members: The Online Virtual Masterclass!
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis (no deadline), so simply reply here with your submission anytime you have a piece or passage you would like to work on.
A new date and time will be announced once we have 2-3 suitable submissions. So please, go ahead and submit your videos to us by replying to this very thread!
HOW VIRTUAL MASTERCLASSES WORK:
- You send in a video of yourself performing a piece, movement of a piece, or even a passage from a piece. Alternatively, you can submit a passage of sheet music for me to give you targeted advice on.
- Once we have 2-3 submissions, I will run a live stream specifically for you, giving you tailor-made advice for your own playing!
It's like if we were doing an online lesson - except others get to see it and hopefully also benefit from the advice I'm giving you.
It's basically an exact replica of an in-person masterclass: you play for a teacher (in this case through a recording), and they work with you while others watch.
WHY?
- Have you been watching the live streams and wishing you could ask me a question relating to your playing specifically? Now is your chance!
- Share your music with others and grow by watching them, too.
- It's basically a free online lesson for you!
WHAT MUST YOU KNOW?
- It can be something you recorded specifically for this, OR a preexisting recording you already have.
- All levels are welcome! My advice will be tailored to your specific level, and in the past, we've worked with everything from beginners to full-on concert players.
- You must be fine with other people watching the video and your performance, as it will be embedded into the live stream itself. I will start and stop it as if we were doing an actual, in-person masterclass.
- I usually spend about 20-35 minutes per submission.
- While I will try to feature everyone, if we get a lot of submissions, your video might not be immediately featured. In that case however, we'll run more of these very soon!
WHERE AND WHAT TO SUBMIT?
- Submit right here, by replying to this thread!
- You can either attach a video directly from your computer, or paste a link to a YouTube video
- (If you opt to use a YouTube video, it can be unlisted - no need to make it public!)
- Please also attach a link to the sheet music.
All right, this should be it! Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions!

Hi, is this still running?
-
Jackie Yes it is! You can submit a recording any time, no limit on the number of videos!
It may take a few weeks for us to schedule a masterclass, as we work through the repertoire in the order it was submitted!

Hi, Dominic! I wanted to submit something a little different, which is my performance of Bach's Organ Sonata No. 4 in E minor, Mvt. 2 "Adagio," transcribed by August Stradal. I first heard this piece performed by Vikingur Olafsson and fell in love with it. It has a lot of invention- and fugue-esque components to it. Enjoy!

Lisa Thomas Thank you for this Lisa!!!
-
Lisa Thomas Beautiful playing, Lisa! I love this piece too. I'll try to load a video up for the virtual masterclass.

Hi Dominic!
I have made these two videos with transcriptions of Bach's music. I love these pieces and I think you are going to talk at least about one of them next Thursday (Andante Organ Sonata by Stradal). I've added the beautiful version that Rachmaninov wrote of the Gavotte (Violin Partita nº 3), which is one of my favorite arrangements of Bach (two geniuses and three minutes of music that provides happiness to the pianist). I will be very grateful for all your advices on how I could improve the playing of these pieces.
Thank you very much!
-
Juan Carlos Olite I like very much the pieces and your playing, thanks for introducing them!
-
Juan Carlos Olite could you post the scores? I wonder if you have come across Dutch composer Jan P Sweelinck’s Ma Jeunesse A Un Fin, and also the piano transcription of one of Bach’s organ Chorale Preludes Ich Ruf Zu Dir? I think you might like them too. Sheer beauty in simplicity.
-
Ching Lee Goh Thank you very much for your kind words! I don't know the music of Jan Sweelinck and I have not the score of ich Ruf zu Dir, I appreciate your recommendation. Here you have the scores of Stradal and Rachmaninov trasncriptions of Bach.
-
Juan Carlos Olite Thank you for the videos! I will feature them soon!
-
Juan Carlos Olite and Bravo!!

Juan Carlos Olite Bravo! This is so wonderful music, and so nice to hear you play Bach threw these brilliant transcriptions. I know he is your favorite, and with good reason! Your touch is always precise, and you have a clear intend with the music. Thank you for this!
-
Sindre Skarelven Thank you very much, Sindre! I think you are going to play Tchaikovsky in the Holidays Party, aren't you? I will try to prepare... Bach (Christmas Oratorio, nº X, Sinfonia).
-
