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 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! 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.
