Week 4 — Share Your Playing 🎶
We’ve reached the final part of the challenge.
You’ve chosen your piece, worked through the details, explored character and imagination — now it’s time to share where you are.
This week is about capturing your playing and putting it out there!
On April 3rd, we’ll host a live Watch Party, featuring submissions from across the community. This is a chance to hear each other, reflect on the process, and celebrate the work that’s gone into these past weeks.
Your Focus for the Week until April 3rd.
Record and submit your piece (or an excerpt).
That’s it.
No need for multiple takes, no pressure to polish everything. A single honest run-through is more than enough.
A few suggestions:
- Record a full take, even if it’s not perfect
- Let the character and musical idea lead!
- Keep going, even through small slips
- Think of it as sharing, not performing
How to Participate
- Upload your video directly in the forum
- Or share a link (YouTube, Google Drive, etc.)
- Include the piece and anything you discovered while working on it
Whether this is your first time sharing or something you do often, this moment matters. It’s where the work becomes something real.
Looking forward to hearing what you’ve been building.

This is my take on Mozart’s Andante from Piano Concerto No. 21 (KV 467). Almost in time with the orchestra and with some slips. Actually, I did not expect to get it that far at all. The most difficult aspect was getting everything in time. It might be better tomorrow, but I share today’s result already, to keep my expectations in check.

Hope it is not too late for me to submit. Even if its too late, it still okay for me to share it here, since already recorded. Happy listening.

I would have loved to have had one or two more weeks to achieve a more polished interpretation. But this is what it is. I truly enjoyed learning this movement, it has that sense of joy in the music that is so characteristic of Mozart. Thank you Dominic for the challenge!

Sonate K 333 - I (recapitulation, bars 93 - 165)
I recorded this in one take, mistakes and all! Thank you Dominic and Tonebase for this opportunity. I started work on this Sonata on the first day of the challenge....... had always wanted to learn it.
I hope to perform it in Montreal in October.

I've been all over the place in regard to this challenge. Initially, I was going to play the 2nd movement of the D minor concerto or something short like the K. 280 Adagio. Then I didn't think I'd be able to actually take part in the final weeks due to some travel commitments. But then I listened to everyone's work and thought I should at least do something.
Anyway, for the last few days I have been replaying the Adagio from the C Minor Sonata (K. 457) which I first learned several years ago. I forgot how charming it is to play. I will be travelling tomorrow so I won't be able to listen to the watch party unfortunately but I enjoyed this challenge and listening to everyone's submissions!
My recording is an excerpt as I had a delivery interrupt my return to the A section!
