Yes, I was just wondering too.
Is there is fee for submissions?
One fee for all, or is it per minute? per piece?

Personally, I prefer not to charge any mandatory fee. I'd prefer that people "chip in" on a voluntary basis to fund the project. I'm in the middle of tallying up the submission declarations. After I add up how much material we will be putting together, I'll get some quotes from CD pressing houses and work out some estimates on how much it'll cost to press the CD's and shipped to Frank/Piano World. I'll then post the estimate and you guys can decide for yourselves how much you want to chip-in (or just "pre-order" and "pre-pay" for the CDs).

Just so there is no mis-understanding, I will NOT handle the money from your guys. The money will flow through Frank/Piano World, NOT me.[/b]

I personally would like to stay focused on getting the CD's produced and pressed, shrink-wrapped and shipped to Frank/Piano World so they can be sold/distributed using PianoWorld.com and/or PianoSupplies.com's existing order-taking and order fulfillment infrastructure.

I'll get you a cost estimate described above as soon as I can. You folks hash it out among yourselves and get Frank's buy-in on the retail pricing of the CDs and what you want to do with the excess proceeds (AFTER the project is funded and the cost of shipping the products to you have been accounted for). I will not have an opinion on these.

I'll be happy to post it for you! Here it is:

The quality is low though (64kbps) because I had to fit it in my Angelfire account. I hope you'll enjoy the recording, although it's not brilliant. I'd love to hear what you think about it!

I just uploaded 1 Etude, 2 Preludes, 1 Waltz and 1 Mazurka by Chopin.

I noticed that I am not the only one who wants to submit original compositions. What is the possibility of being able to send in the sheet music for the original compositions to be included in the PDF file?

Very nice!

I want to learn that someday.

Thank you!

Axtremus et al.:

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have blown it on this. I didn't want to commit until I knew what I wanted to record, and with everything else I'm doing, I didn't figure it out. So now it's too late, eh? I guess we'll think about CD release #2 !!

Updated the table in the second post of this thread .

Thanks to every one who sent in the info.

Sorry to get this to you after you already updated your list, Ax, but here it is. All times are aproximate. Give or take a few seconds for each one.

All original compositions:

Nocturne in A-Major: 1'45"
Prelude in C-Major: 1'05"
Prelude in F-Major: 0'18"
So far un-named (in the key of A-Major): 1'20"

Such creative names, eh? LOL! Can you also tell that I favor major keys over minor keys? (Though one of my favriote keys is a minor key: C#-Minor).

*Bump*
