LaValse 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 02/21/07 Posts: 1224 Loc: Mumbles, Wales	On weight/touch... My teacher has an upright with a fairly 'heavy action'. He exploits the completely hokey 'una corda' mechanism on uprights by practicing just before a recital with the uc pedal rammed down - he says it seems to help with the transition to a concert grand; makes sense. However just to be clear, in lessons he advocates use of uc as an effect, not a cheat... $\:\)$ Looking forward to the etude experience... _________________________ http://uk.youtube.com/user/sailwavedev

-Frycek 5000 Post Club Member Registered: 08/06/05 Posts: 5657 Loc: SC Mountains	Seriously, there's been some suggestions that it be the nocturnes next October. There are already some mazurkas coming up in March. As for who decides??? We do, however we manage to do that. Maybe we should do a poll? _________________________ Slow down and do it right.

I already know 37/2 and could easily polish it - unless someone else wants it or wants to learn. _________________________ http://www.ecital.net Wikicital: A collaborative effort to build a knowledgebase of classical music history combined with examples.

I have received three more Etudes now, so we are waiting for the following people as at 3pm Thursday my time (GMT): hopinmad Ragnhild Numerian Bernard Brian13 Celt greywullf Phlebas - if you could check on these people backchannel it would be a great help. Just a little nudge of an email. Thanks! [/b] Mary-Rose, I got an email about this. I've been away from PW for a while and I'm afraid the etude fell by the way side. I'm very sorry about this and hope you will accept my apologies. I will pick up the etude again, but I won't have it ready anytime soon--more like the end of the year, so perhaps someone else already knows it and would like to take it over? Again, my apologies. _________________________ "Hunger for growth will come to you in the form of a problem." -- unknown

Elene 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 12/26/07 Posts: 1360 Loc: near keyboard, mouth open	Sounds like we are definite on nocturnes. I already have had 37/1 in good shape for a long time. Does anyone want that? I could throw it in if not. I hope we do waltzes at some point. I'd also like to see a performance of miscellaneous pieces.

sotto voce 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 08/15/06 Posts: 6163 Loc: Briarcliff Manor, NY, USA	Miscellaneous pieces is an inspired idea to explore at some point. There's lots of variety of all kinds! I've already learned the Fantaisie in f minor, but it might inspire me to take on the outrageous challenge that the Allegro de Concert would present. (It might turn out to be an Adagio de Concert in my hands. $\:o$ ) Steven _________________________ "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." —Albert Schweitzer Chopin: Allegro de Concert Op. 46 Schumann: Toccata Op. 7 Fauré: Ballade Op. 19
