People talk about his early Chopin phase but I'm not sure ther ever was one. Yes, he composed a cycle of 24 preludes but according to one source (Henle) he was already disenchanted with Chopin by then. I hear Scriabin as his own man, even from his earliest works... I have posted this in a piano bar previously - recital piece not ready yet... |

This Bach's Prelude in C major is a rather simple piece, but playing it with left hand alone is really something else.  |

I plan to keep working on this piece whilst learning newer pieces so any constructive criticism is more than welcome. |

| 38[/b] | | | Performer's name: | jotur - Cathy Turner [/b] | | From: | Santa Fe, NM | | Experience: | 2 years of lessons in my mid-teens, 30+ years off, playing for dancing since 1995 | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Stone's Rag | | Duration: | 02:19 | | Source of music: | Fiddler's Fakebook | | Instrument used: | Casio Privia PX-100 | | Recording method: | keyboard to PC, audacity | | Critical feedback wanted: | No | | Additional info: | The band I'm in played for a weekend-long contra dance camp a couple of weeks ago, and we needed everything we had ever learned and then some in order to have enough sets to not bore everyone with a bunch of repeats. One of our older sets included this rag, but we didn't really, as a group, get it back up to speed. So, anticipating that we'd need it anyway, I revived it as a piano rag, like we had played it a couple of years ago. I made up enough variations of the first rag to be able to play it 6 times thru, and then did 4 variations of Stone's, and the fiddles did a couple. We ended up not using the set for a contra, but used the other rag, slowed down and swung, for an impromptu swing workshop, and this one, slowed down, for a choreographed shottish workshop  So it all payed off. And - I got a recital piece thrown in, sort of free. For a week after the camp my fingers were rubber, and they're really not quite back yet, and I'm pretty burnt out on this, but here it is, 4 variations at 116, sort of. Pretend like you're contra dancing, and there are also guitars, mandolins, and bodhrans going, and you won't hear the mistakes
This also shows my beginning attempts to be able to improvise. None of this is actually improvised - it's all carefully rehearsed bits that I can mix and match. But I find, if I'm playing it a lot, that the mix and match comes at non-planned times, so it's varied subconsciously, or maybe unconsciously. So my hope is that maybe someday I'll have enough variations inside me that I can actually begin, at slower speeds, to be able to alter things on the fly. It's a thought - |

Guess what happens when you finally manage to beat the red dot syndrome and play your piece almost to your liking? Either your recording system will get a hiccup or your feathered pet friends will start a live commentary about your playing ... I had to chose between these two interesting versions - so here goes Robert Schumann featuring Galileo and Pythagoras with a squeaking improvised vocal accompaniment towards the end of the piece. |

I struggled trying to find the right tempo. It was either too fast or too slow. Also, the sheet music was very bare bones in structure so it needed a lot of additional stuff. The toughest part was finding an acceptable left hand accompaniment. |

So I fell back to plan two and started polishing up another Alfred’s piece to submit in its stead. Unfortunately (for me) this piece was also submitted for this recital. So I ended up cramming to get this final selection in some sort of shape for the recital. I know it was just played in the previous recital, but I was out of options.
I truly love this piece and hope to someday be able tackle the full, unadulterated, score. |

Converted from WAV to MP3 using Audacity | | Critical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | There are four errors, a slight hesitation, and an overall lack of refined musicality here. That said, it's not a bad effort for me, to be honest. For more thoughts, I posted a blog entry on this recital piece: http://aw2pp.blogspot.com/2008/11/first-recital-submission.html |

I'm pretty happy with the speed. Trying to work up my ragtime chops without messing up my left elbow. All feedback welcome and appreciated. |

| 58[/b] | | | Performer's name: | Ozor Mox [/b] | | From: | Hampshire, England | | Experience: | Just over 5 years. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | The Portrait | | Composer: | James Horner | | Duration: | 04:10 | | Source of music: | Play-by-ear. | | Instrument used: | Fatar somethingorother MIDI keyboard. | | Recording method: | Done at a recording studio session which was very cool! | | Critical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Just over 5 years ago, my dad told me that he wanted me to learn this piece for his 50th birthday, and it was one of the reasons I decided to start playing the piano after having played the keyboard when I was much younger. I have no sheet music for it so the way I play it has changed a lot, but I think this recording is pretty close to James Horner's original performance since I listened over and over to the real thing before recording this.
Also I HATE the Celine Dion version of this! Yuck! |
