Week 4 Beethoven Challenge – Recordings Watch Party 🎥🎶
Week 4 is here, and it's time to share!
For this final week of the Beethoven Challenge, your goal is simple:
record your piece and submit it for our community Watch Party.
It doesn’t have to be “finished” or perfect. In fact, it’s more useful if it isn’t. Record where you are right now with your Beethoven and let that be your snapshot of growth from Week 1 to Week 4.
How to participate:
Record your Beethoven selection (phone video is totally fine).
Upload it to Youtube!
Post the link in the Week 4 thread below with:
Piece and movement
One sentence: “The thing I worked on most in this piece was…”
We’ll collect submissions and feature as many as we can in the Watch Party, with live commentary, encouragement, and a chance to hear how everyone has grown over the month.
This week’s challenge:
Don’t wait until you “deserve” to record. Hit record, share your current best, and join us for the Watch Party!!

Like --I am supposing-- many of us, I really, really could have used another week! I felt like my nervous system was rather fried today; but this at least gives a sense of the 2nd movement. Way better on a real piano!

I do have to play the Pathetique Sonata Rondo movement at a recital on Sunday. I wish I didn’t have a day job and I could work on this a bit more.

Hi everyone, today I'm sending you my work on the Bagatella
op. 119 n. 1.
I'm sorry it's still late, but I wanted to focus on the phrasing and color of the various sections. I'm restructuring my technique because I've had pain issues, so I'm proceeding with caution and patience with my studies.
I thank everyone and extend my deepest respect to the Tonebase staff. -
Hi All,
Here is the beginning of the Pathetique - the Grave intro and the first Allegro section. In the interest of time, I cut it off there (since there's quite some repetition in this movement anyway). I went more for feel than precision - or as they say, playing the wrong note right rather than playing the right note wrong.
