I might think about something along the lines of traditional gospel / hymns (1 or 2 songs at 3 to 5 minutes each - not sure) on my 91-year-old 56" upright piano.... unless someone in San Diego has a 9' or larger grand piano they'd be willing to let me use (also for a CD project of my own)...
/me is curious as to what pianos other members plan to record with...

I'll contribute something. Look to keep it short. 5 minutes or plus/minus. Thinking something from the three C's: Crumb, Cowell, and Cage. Thinking maybe prepared piano. Put me down: TBD/TBD.

I'll submit my recording of Ravel's Une Barque sur L'Ocean, which is about 6 and a half minutes.

Hi

Seaside: I believe the idea here is to include all levels of playing. So I would say "why not include some of us beginners".

I would love to submit something, but I haven't a clue what I would need to record it. Can anyone clue me in on what would be required for a recording worth listening to?

Sounds like all genres are welcome. It's just that the majority of proposed submissions have been classical. Most classical music is not copyrighted, so that also makes it a lot easier to make a legal recording. I'm looking into the copyright aspect of my would-be Jacques Brel song.

I'll submit 1 or 2 Brahm's Intermezzi. Op.116, #4 for sure and quite possibly Op. 118, #2. Will determine duration and post it later.

I'd love to contribute something! Still TBD though  Probably Chopin nocturne or something, 3'-5' max.

I thought about submitting Clair de Lune, but I see someone else already has that. Another piece I thought about has copyright issues. And a third I don't know about. At least I can listen to the CD.

We could have a whole Clair de Lune section. It'd be like those records of 20 different renditions of Pachelbel's Canon.
