I`m interested but I will be away from piano during the Shubert Challenge. I would like to follow the link to listen to recordings.
-
My local piano immersion runs from July 5-13, but I’m going to enter the challenge anyway as it’s too good an opportunity to miss! Schubert, Sonata, G Major, D.894, 1st movement.
-
I’m signing up for this challenge with the Impromptu in A flat major from D 935 (Op. 142 No. 2).
-
Alexander Weymann one of my favorite!
-
Alexander Weymann Looking forward to hearing this, Alex!

-
I am signing up with Schubert Moment Musical #2.

Vidhya Bashyam What a beautiful choice, Vidhya!

Hi everyone! Long time, no see on my end…the school year has really beaten me up! (Partner teacher was on paternity leave for three months in spring- our busiest time!) I’d love to join this challenge. I’m thinking I may start the B Flat Sonata for a real push.

Bryan Sable Hi Bryan, so great to see you again here! Can't wait to hear your Schubert.
-
Bryan Sable Good to see you on the forums again!

I’m signing up with Impromptu in A-flat major, D 899 op. 90, #4. Always wanted to learn it!
-
Astrida wonderful!

Thurmond and I will each be playing something individually (I'll play one of the dances, and he will work on number two of the Drei Klavierstucke). But we thought we might also work on a 4-hands piece together, the Landler D366/3 as arranged by Johannes Brahms. I found several of these nice 4-hands pieces in a little book entitled "Mein Erster Schubert."
-
Michelle R Lovely! Can’t wait to hear you both!
-
Vidhya Bashyam Thanks! The 4-hands piece is pretty simple, but it's the first time playing with another person for both of us (I don't think our rendition of chopsticks counts!).
-
Michelle R Chopsticks DOES count!
-
Gail Ravin Starr I think it counts only if both the players remain upright and playing - I started giggling, then laughing, and couldn't keep playing because it was so funny!!

-
Will start Moment Musical D780 #6 this weekend.
-
Gail Ravin Starr Yay! It will be beautiful.

I hope I can learn the waltz in b minor, D.145 Opus 18.6. It doesn't seem too difficult to get the notes down, but I am heading for a Jazz piano Camp in July (and need to practise at least SOME 7th chords and ii V Is beforehand... I have no talent for Jazz at all
), so I am not sure if I can find enough time to shape the interpretation, which I think might be way trickier than the right keys. If not I will submit in August.-
Dagmar How wonderful that you're stepping outside of your comfort zone and exploring Jazz!
