Week 4: Submit Your Recording for the Chopin Watch Party!
Update!
Our Watch Party has been re-scheduled for this upcoming Monday at 11am PT!
It’s sharing time! Drop your recording below so we can cheer you on at the Chopin Watch Party — happening Monday October 20th!
What to Post
A video of your Chopin piece — polished, messy, dramatic, cautious... all versions welcome.
Write what you worked on this week — tone, voicing, octaves, courage, not throwing the score across the room, etc... 😄
Deadline
Please post by Tuesday, Oct 15th at 9:00 AM PT so I have time to build a playlist worthy of Chopin and popcorn.

I have a video of Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No 4 etude...currently adding my score notes. Will be up in a few mins. :)
This week I did a fair bit of slow-to-fast metronome practice on specific sections, with an occasional play-through. I need to practice intentionally breathing at the end...I tend to get nervous there and stop breathing, and by the time I hit the last right hand flourish I'm too tense to continue, haha.

Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor, Op. Posth.
This is my first time trying from memory. I obviously flubbed a few notes, but I'd be recording from now until next year to keep trying to get it better. Thank heavens for deadlines! Also, you may hear my dog snoring in the background. Since it's a Nocturne, it somehow seems appropriate.

Hi everyone, I was struggling to keep up with this challenge deadlines but here is my final week recording of the Nouvelle Etude no.1 (first time learning it and still needs work!)

I think I didn't post at the good place this morning. I thought I had until Thursday to submit the video, so I tried rapidly to record something this morning.😬 I was working in improving my Waltz op.64 no 2. I would have needed a few more days as I changed some fingering this weekend and it is not automatic yet. But my goal was to participate in the challenge so here it is! Thank you!
