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!

Almost on the last day, here is the first part of Brahms's left hand transcription of Bach's Chaconne. As always, I would need more and more time..., but choosing to work on this piece in spite of all the difficulties (sorry for the mistakes...) has been an extraordinary decision, and I am very clear about my first goal for this summer: to learn and enjoy the entire piece.
Thank you for the challenge, Dominic!

Here is Schumann’s Widmung (Liszt transcription). It is still far from finished, but taking part in this challenge helped me stay motivated and keep practicing, and I somehow managed to play the piece all the way through.
Thank you very much for listening!

Final Update / Recording
Here is my recording of the complete Mouvement by Debussy. A few slippery moments but overall pretty satisfied with how this challenge turned out given it was just 4 weeks. Proved to be a real stamina buster at a time I didn't have much stamina so I am glad I was able to get something recorded for the last week.
I have avenged my past. =)

I tried this piece since Saturday this past week and just did 1 take on my iPad a few minutes ago. So here is my effort

Here’s a recording of a full run through I did of the Chopin Grande polonaise brillante! Super lucky for me that Yulianna Avdeeva’s tonebase course on this piece was released during this challenge — it was so great to hear insights from one of my favorite pianists on one of my favorite pieces.
