    Heartland, composed by Keith Jarrett has been on my “unfinished business” list for many years. It still isn’t finished, but I am happy that i can add it to my daily repertoire and in time, it will be at a place where I am happy with it.

    https://youtu.be/qPiEsVuL9LQ Hello Dominic, thank you or this challenge. The Waltz in E by Moszkowski is an ongoing challenge for me and it really falls into the category of "Unfinished Business" for me.

       Thank you! I was definitely pleased with where I got it to over the duration of the challenge. 10 years ago me feels very vindicated.

       Thank you Aaron!

    I’m excited to hear everyone’s performances! I’ve been away at a conference the past week so not been able to work on this Chopin prelude any more, but hope it’s okay to reshare my week 4 video to join in the party 🥳

    Very much still a work in progress, but I do feel this challenge has helped me on my journey https://youtu.be/ZnbEXashf5w?si=HugNkTCaQfgVUmNr

    Hello Dominic & everyone, I'm still putting together my video of my "Week 2" [sic] version of my Rach Prelude.  I don't want Week 1 played at the Watch Party.  If I'm not able to upload this, I'll just particxipate as a listener this time around.  Plenty of great stuff already to enjoy! thanks,

    Here is my piano cover of Ghost by Justin Beiber. I like classical music, but I also like pop music. Hope it is not too late!

       Hello! I am sorry that your recording didn't quite make the deadline for the watch party but I wanted to say that I did listen to it here! I don't really know much about Justin Bieber's music but I do know a little about piano and you play very confidently with great rhythmic drive and clarity in your melodic lines. You know how to get a lot of sound out of your digital piano! I really like that you create variety in your repetitions with changes in dynamic and texture. Classical or pop, this is a very well prepared performance and recording. Hope to hear more of your work in the future =)

       Well played Aarav. I too like to play arrangements of pop songs, and your cover has given me a couple of ideas...

       Hello Aarav, this is the first time I've heard you play on Tonebase. This is really excellent, you have a very nice facility and I see you've covered a lot of pop songs on your Web site.  We should have a Community Concert coming up this summer -- probably after the Liszt-O-Mania--so maybe we can revisit this or one of your other covers or even a new live performance then.  Keep up the good work!

    The watch party was so inspiring that I have gone off to practice the bass recorder, one note at a time, lol. No joke.

       Can’t go wrong with one note at a time :)

       One note at a time is my jam.

      I read that Eric Dolphy would spend days playing one tone. I can see doing that.

        I use a single tone on some of my Jazz improvs. It may be a single note, but each time I change chord the relation between that single tone and the chord changes.
