    • Yuchao Zhou I can also play Chopin Ballade 3. Since there are 3.5 weeks from now I can probably bring this piece back.

  • Hi Dominic,

     

    I would be really interested in playing live for Charles Richard-Hamelin. I would love to work on Chopin's 3rd ballade, as well as Schubert's sonata D 845.

  • Hi! I’m an undergrad student studying piano performance and would love this opportunity. I can play Chopin Barcarolle Op. 60, Chopin Scherzo No. 3, or perhaps a movement from Chopin Sonata no. 2…but that one is still a work in progress.

    • Gail Starr Bonjour Gail, je suis heureuse de savoir que tu à commencé à étudier cette étude. Ce serais bien que tu me partage tes impressions.  Mon professeur de piano m'a dit que c'est la plus facile à étudier. Je la joue sans partition mais je n'arrive pas encore à la jouer a la bonne vitesse. Certain l'à nomme ''Bee'' !  Ma main gauche, en fait le poignet de ma main gauche demeure encore trop tendue. Donc, depuis quelques semaine je pratique à détendre mon poignet gauche pour arriver à jouer cette étude à la bonne vitesse. J'avoue être un peu découragé, me demandant si un jour je pourrais y arriver! Lol!

    Hi Dominic! My name is Shreyashi, and I am an early high school student preparing for my ARCT diploma practical in December. I would love this priceless opportunity to play any of my pieces in my second-ever masterclass, especially with such a skilled pianist. My repertoire for the diploma is:
     

    1. Bach Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp major, Book 1, BWV 848
    2. Beethoven 'Pathetique' Sonata (full), Op. 13 No. 8
    3. Brahms intermezzi Op. 118 No. 1 & 2
    4. Rachmaninoff Prelude in G minor Op. 23 No. 5
    5. Ginastera Danzas Argentinas, Op. 2
    6. Chopin etude Op. 10 No. 12

    Everything is about ready to be worked in a masterclass aside from the third Ginastera danza and the first Brahms intermezzo. This will certainly be an extremely helpful event to attend, even more so if I had the opportunity to play in it.

  • Hi Dominic,

         I'm interested in presenting the Chopin Fantasy in F minor Op. 49.  (I've played this piece on a couple of occasions for Zelma Bodzin's performance seminars.)

  • Hi Dominic. I have a Chopin question. The tempo of the 4th Ballade is Andante. While there are ritards and accelerandos, we always come back to atempo - Andante. Unlike the 1st Ballade, he doesn't even change the tempo for the coda. Yet, this ballade is always played with a variety of tempos and something like presto for the coda. Why is that? And, is there a recording out there where someone does indeed follow Chopin's tempo markings?

  • Hello, it is probably too late to still sign up. I would love to participate. As there are already so many Chopin pieces, I would want to propose to play the Schubert Impromptu Op posth 142 No 3.

    Hello!  I would love to play a piece for the masterclass.  I am new to Tonebase, so haven't attended a masterclass here yet - but If it is Chopin I'd be happy to play Chopin Scherzo No. 2, or Fantasie Impromptu, or Etude Op. 10 No. 3.  If something else, perhaps Brahms Intermezzo Op 118. No 2 in A major, or Brahms Rhapsody Op 79 No. 1 in B minor, or one of the Op. 90 Schubert Impromptus.

    I would love the opportunity to play for Mr Richard-Hamelin if it’s not too late! 

     

    I am currently an undergrad student studying piano performance, and would like to play Chopin Ballade No. 4 (definitely a work in progress!)

    Hi Dominic

    I'd love to play something different than Chopin: Ravel's Sonatine, first mouvement. 

    Thanks.
