I think people had "dibs" on some others as well. I would love to do 27/2, but I think Soto Vocce has that one.
I would like to claim 55-1.

Chardonnay 27/2
jazzyprof 48/1
Phlebas 55/1
sotto voce 55/2
chopin952 62/2

(Elene and gerg: I didn't list you because you seemed tentative. Go for it!)

Steven

Thanks, Phlebas & Steven

I "claimed" this one right off the bat, in fact I started the claiming process!
I'm not saying that I would do the best job on it, but the timing would be perfect, given that I am working on it now. Sotto Voce, thanks for accurately updating the list!
If someone wishes to back me up, that would be fine- a year is a long time, you never know what will happen.

I wonder if it might be a good idea for people to volunteer for backup, or to have an "interest pool" so that potential participants who don't have a clear-cut choice can express their interest and decide amongst themselves?

Steven

Sorry, my bad. I just misspoke. Godspeed on 27/2.

No worries, didn't mean to over-react.

Is 21 in C Minor (op. posth.) available? I would love to take it!

I have already done 20 in C# Minor (op. posthumous), but the whole point is to master something new, isn't it I can possibly do a backup of this one, even last minute, as I keep it polished all the time. I guess Peyton could to, he plays it better than I do


Mateusz

Oh no not a Nocturne one . . . something else please!

I would go for the op.37/1 but I don't actually know how a recital is going to work.

All you do is email your recording (most people use a zoom but one used a utube link) to MaryRose as an attachment and she takes care of the rest. We haven't decided when this is to take place - probably Oct 2009.

OK, 9/1 taken - I'll take 9/2 then

You folks go ahead.

I don't think I'll be taking any new projects until I can play 25/6 properly.

Greg, I wrote this today in the etudes discussion thread:
So don't be silly, okay? The etudes are lifelong projects!

You do so beautifully with the lyrical as well as the flashy; you really should choose a nocturne to showcase that sensitivity.

Just my two cents ... but I certainly do hope you'll decide to participate after all.

Steven

Yuri, I apologize. I've been informed that you requested 9/1 first so of course it's yours.

That's no problem; I like 9/2 almost as much :-)

Thank you Steven. I appreciate that.

Would be quite happy to perform 37/2 in a year.

Does anyone else want 37/2, or want to learn it?

Great! Thanks Frycek for starting the thread. I got the one I wanted. Yay! The deadline serves as a great motivator. The year will go by fast once again.

I played 27/2 at the Lisitsa Master Class in DC this past March. I got some great pointers from her. She is so wonderful at conveying her ideas with analogies and gestures. Chardonnay, If you need some secondhand insight, let me know!

gerg. Thanks for staying on board. 37/2 is famous and beautiful.

I will most certainly take you up on that!
For starters, I am struggling with that 48 note measure near the end.. how to make it fast AND even-
