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.

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!

Unfortunately, I don't know if I can submit a recording for the Mozart Challenge. I will if I can.

K545. Leonard Bernstein Young People's Concerts broadcast live on CBS 1958-1972. This was the opening background music as the narrator announced the broadcast. https://youtu.be/CNMJfG32dcg?feature=shared

Hi everyone. I hadn't planned to submit anything, but I needed to have something fun to work on over the past little bit. It's been a rough few weeks (my father passed in February, and then my father-in-law just passed this week), and I needed some bright and cheerful moments in my days. Only the a section is even remotely ready, and there are still hesitations I haven't quite yet ironed out, but here is about 30 seconds of the Allegro (some say Allegretto) in F which I have been working on:

It sure is the time for last minute additions! I'm probably too late, but just in case:

I didn’t submit a video as, once again, I had to realize that I am a slow learner. These 4 week challenges are too short for me in order to submit a somehow satisfying video 😪. I think I can only participate in these challenges with pieces that I have already learned in the past and that need some polish to bring them back to performance level. I am very impressed with the progress of the other participants! Great work 👏👏👏! I look forward to the event today! Best regards and happy Easter from a slow learner 😂🎹😂

Congratulations to all those who have submitted recordings. Alas, mine will be late as usual but I am determined to do it! Enjoy the Concert watch party later- I will have to catch up with that as well. Usual busy end of term stuff and family things, nothing to complain about really but sometimes I just can’t get everything done!

Rough take after 1 month. Many thanks to the TB NYC IRL Team (Noah & Dominic & Ben), Jarred and my dearest Mozart buddies Sindre & Natalie) for getting me to finally start this lovely Sonata. It's been on my bucket list forever!
