41/2 did not open up!! I signed up for it back in October, never said I wasn't going to do it, and just confirmed it again on DtC a few days ago. Sorry for any confusion.

Elene

Fixed it.

I regret I will not be able to contribute after all - too much going on in life at the moment.

68/3 is now up for grabs. Good luck to everyone.

Where is Op 59?

Don't know how but we missed them. They're on there now. Want one? Want all three?

Thanks!

Elene

I think I can get 59/3 up to speed by 1st of March, so I'd like to take that one, but not all 3.

OK

My 7/3 is not really ready yet, but I hope it will by by 1st of March. If it (hope not!) happens that I won't manage, would it be possible to fall back to 3rd Mazurkathon in 2010?


M.

Yes, we're flexible.

Thank you Frycek, that's heartwarming. Nevertheless, I hope it will be fine this year.


M.

I have only one word. Eek.

Got me to practice today, though.

This may be way premature, but if no one has claimed the 59/2, can I have it for the third Mazurkathon (March 1, 2010)? I haven't even started it yet, but if I get going on it now, by then I should be able to pull it off. I've really come to love it in the past few months.

If someone else is further along with it and wants to do it, I'll yield. But if not.... can the 59/2 be mine??

Your wish is my command.

I thought I was down for 7/1?

You're quite right. I fixed it. Do you also have 67/3?

No, I don't think I ever put myself down for that one.

fixed it

If 68/3 is still available, I think I could handle it. I might be able to work on it for March 2009 if need be, but I think it would be better for me in 2010.

I was glad to see one of the "easier" ones available!

OK

I'm afraid 7/3 will have to wait for 3rd establishment of Mazurkathon. I have injured my right arm and won't be able to practice for some time, which makes getting this Mazurka to performance level in upcoming month an impossible task to accomplish I'm sad to communicate that


M.

Too bad about your arm. No problem about the mazurka.

What happened, Mati?

I have no idea - I have perhaps overworked myself during studying in front of my desk, resting on my elbows too much. My upperarm is tense and hurts during any stretching motions. It's nothing serious and it gets better day after day, but I'm trying not to overwork my arm during piano practice. This particular mazurka has some precise fingerwork to mantain clarity I can't manage right now. Thanks for your care!

Mateusz

Hi Frycek,

Can you direct me to how to upload a recording made on a Zoom 2? UGH!

Tx!

Secondo

I'm sure this has been asked but do we upload our piece to Box or do we send an mp3 via e-mail?

Please send it as an attachment to me. You can send it to Frycek@bellsouth.net.

Now that I've got my 7/1 in please put me down for 7/2 for March of 10. A whole year to learn it seems just about right.

mmm... seems to be some confusion around 7.1

I've been bumped off it, for some reason

Anyway. no worries - I'm happy to bow out and let Peyton have it

Cruiser, have you prepared 7/1? Is it ready to record? If it is, please go ahead and send it in. I think the one recording for mazurka
"rule" can be suspended for a genuine misunderstanding.

...well, to be honest, I'm not really satisfied with my 7.1, having been preoccupied lately with a Beethoven Sonata and so I'm more than happy to let Peyton have 'sole rights' to this Mazurka and I look forward very much to hearing his, and everyone else's, recordings

Cruiser, how about next time once you're past the Beethoven? These are still free for next year.

6/3 - FREE
41/3 - FREE
41/4 - FREE
50/2 - FREE
59/1 - FREE
67/3 - FREE
68/1- FREE

Frycek:
I've been slacking off the past two recital (after living through 25/12 OCD for a year), and now I have another case with Scriabin's 8/12. So I think your mazurka push was a God-sent reminder to me that there is great joy in simple yet subtle music. I'll take 67/3 if you don't mind. Not sure if I can do it by March (I may have to get on a 2-week long business trip, and I haven't seen the scores yet), but I'll try - if not, can I still do it for the next one?

Great. I'll put you down for 67/3 (tentatively for this March)
Joe

I really needed to get on to other things (like how in the world am I going to manage recording that nocturne by October?) so I've sent 41/2 to MR already, and I'm about to send it to you, Joe. I was hoping my husband could do some engineering on it, but that's not going to happen, so I guess it has to be OK.

It's also on box.net:

Mati, I'm so sorry to hear about your arm. I wish I could treat it for you.

Elene

Crusier, I for one would love to hear yours. We can compare notes. I too was not satisfied with my final version but then... I've never been satisfied with any 'final' version of anything I've played. I just couldn't decide how fast and how lively to play it.

Frycek, did you get my email?

Frycek, I just sent you an email with my 63/3- please let me know if it is acceptable!

Chardonnay & Rusty,
both received and forwarded to MaryRose

Frycek,

I want to make 100% certain that my 41/2 is where it belongs. (You already know I'm obsessive.) I've sent it to you and to MR, and it's on box.net, so I shouldn't be worrying....

I heard Sadie's 63/3 today. Excellent!

Elene

Thanks!

I don't have the file yet, but it's stil my plan to play the 41.4 (in my edition no 4 is the one in Ab major)

Ragnhild

3 days and counting.
