• Share a recording, or let us know if you’d like to play live
Recordings will be shared as time allows. Thank you, as always, for the care you bring to your playing and to this community.
Looking forward to hearing what you’ve been up to at the piano.

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!
FOR OPTIMIZING YOUR ZOOM SETTINGS PLEASE SEE THE SHORT VIDEOS BELOW!
Because we use zoom for these concerts, it is important to have the best audio and visual settings available!
Check out these videos depending on the device you are using!

tentatively signing up - piece tbc :)

As said previously, I will submit my recording of Rachmaninoff's Sonata no.2 - III. Allegro molto, even if the picture quality is horrible.
-
I will play live - Beeth op.101, first two movements, unless time permits more.
-
Would I be going against the spirit of this event if I submitted a recording and attended?
Will there be other events that are just for recordings?

Hi everyone, I will play the last movement from Mozart's Sonata in B flat K333 if time permits! I should be able to play this live.

Count me in!
Hopefully I'll have something ready from the same list I've been working from for the last few events. My Rachmaninoff Bbm Prelude, after I get through a "Week 4" version from the Unfinished Business challenge, might well be ready, as well as possibly a new Bach WTC pair, and one of the other Rach Preludes I've got in the pipeline.
I too am scared to death of performing classical music live from memory, but these concerts are the perfect opportunity to "practice" that skill, in a safe environment, before a friendly, supportive, and sympathetic audience, many of whom are equally scared of the same thing!

I plan to participate. I will either play a Chopin waltz, the Mozart Sonata movement I wasn't able to perform in the Mozart challenge, or potentially the Wandererfantasie!
