Week 4: Share It

We made it.

Four weeks ago, this challenge began with A New Hope. You chose a piece, took the first steps, kept the momentum going, and stayed with it through the ups and downs.

 

Now it’s time for the final step:

Share it.

 

This week is all about recording and posting your piece. It does not need to be perfect. In fact, that was never the goal.

 

Maybe your piece isn’t exactly where you imagined it would be. Maybe there are still rough edges. Maybe there are passages you still wish you had another week with.

That’s okay.

 

The point of Unfinished Business was never perfection. It was showing up, sticking with it, and bringing something across the finish line.

So this week, post your recording! Whether it’s:

  • your full piece
  • an excerpt
  • one section you’re proud of
  • or your best take so far

Share it.

And then… get ready.

 

On June 6th, we’ll celebrate together during our Unfinished Business Watch Party, where we’ll enjoy and celebrate recordings from the community and look back on the journey we took together.

You’ve already done the hard part.

Now let us hear it.

 

You have until June 5th to share a recording with us, to be included on the concert!

    Here’s my Chopin Prelude No. 13. Still a lot of room for improvement but I’ve enjoyed my time with this piece this month, squeezed in amongst everything else 😅. Thanks Dominic and everyone for the inspiration! https://youtu.be/ZnbEXashf5w?si=Ka8PhEL3Y2kfMFak

       Wow, beautiful job voicing and shaping the melody. I have always loved the left hand of this piece. It could be a melody all it's own!

       Lovely work Koshka. You have a very intoxicating lyricism here and great sensitivity to the colour changes of the harmony. You really invite the listener in and tour them through a number of this prelude's magic moments.

    Hi, my unfinished Pathetique-sonata will remain unfinished for a few more weeks as I want to be able to play the whole piece in one go. However, I was able to finish this beautiful Finnish waltz, called "Kesäilta" (summer evening) by the great 🇫🇮 composer Oskar Merikanto. I hope you all will have a great summer!🙂

       Many thanks! I like Merikanto's piano music alot. Feels as he is very underrated.

    Hi! I’d like to share the last half section of Chopin prelude op.28-13. It’s still long way to go but it’s how it is. Thanks for listening,

       Hi Sachi, It looks like your video is set to “private”, so need to change that before we can watch!

       Very nicely done, Sachi! A clear and singing melody line, and great balance between the hands.

       This was quite nice!  I think you are further along with it than you think.  I also like the tone of your piano.  It suits this music perfectly.

      I am SLOWLY (this is the key term) working away at the complete Op. 28.  Strangely enough I haven't really started working on No. 13 in F-sharp major yet.  I may have played through it once in the last year but I'm going to have to put some priority on it going forward after being inspired a couple of times here.  It's a time consuming project that will consume me through eternity but somehow I have around 20 of the 24 at some variable stages of readiness.

       I love this prelude so much! You are off to a great start and are doing a really good job of voicing the melody over a complex lefthand part!
