Technically, Peyton is only up for one piece, Kinderszenen, and even of that he is so modest as to only play excerpts and leave the other parts to someone else
_________________________ aim for the moon - if you miss, at least you'll be among the stars.
Duplicates, extemporizing, re-writing - it's all good.
I think duplication is fine for this recital if we have people that want to play the same things. It might be a little awkward to have duplications, given some of the talent here, but I don't make the rules
I'm not that familiar with a lot of Schumann, and it's been a while since I've tried this, but I've wanted to get "Fast zu ernst" (Kinderszenen no.10) polished up for a while now. Put me down for that? I'll keep looking for others.

I'm not miffed, honestly. And please don't think I'm picking on you because that was certainly not my intention as I also enjoy the friendly atmosphere in this forum.
I'm just pointing out that if the idea of a recital such as this is to try and get as many people to participate as possible, then surely it would make sense to give everyone some time to declare an interest in taking part and select a piece before others start adding 2nd, 3rd, 4th pieces?
Just my opinion of course, others may disagree which is fair enough.

No, no one is limited to one piece, nor is anyone limited in their selection - extemporaneous variations, re-writes, channelling Schumann's spirit on the Astral - it's all good - duplicate entries also ok with me -
I'm hoping for the video of a modernist, interpretive dance from someone (not me) for example -

Schubertian, I'd be interested in Kinderszenen 15/3 if it's not yet taken. Thanks!

Frycek, the Grand Piano World Society of Chopin Lovers hereby grant you the permission to participate in Schumannians recital and issue an order to do so, staying with your Traumerei in line and not giving it to Horowitzian unless *absolutely* necessary. Such a necessity will need to be proven with strong evidence to be accepted. ;-)
But, seriously, Frycek, stay! I want to hear your Schumann
Mateusz

Frycek... don't even THINK of backing out!! Horowizian, is there any chance you could contribute Traumeri as well? As Shubertian says "Duplicates, extemporizing, re-writing - it's all good." We can't ever have too much Traumeri!

Hear the words of the anti-Schumann Frycek: "Someone has to do it", "You can have it an welcome". Is a Struggle Session called for?
Seriously F - you've got 10 months to decide if you want to do this thing or not, and if you do, what you might like to play. We would all be delighted to hear your contribution - as we always are. But it is just for fun you know -

I really hope someone decides to play the Geistervariationen. They're so beautiful especially when one considers under what conditions they were composed.

Thanks. I read somewhere recently that a couple of people did variatiions on it - remembered Clara Schumann but not Brahms - thanks - I'll look them up...
PS: I'm happy to provide free upload/web space for this (and other) recitals should you need it...

OK, I'll stay, though if anyone has strong feelings about Traeumerie I'll happily relinquish it. I jumped in with it since I'm on a repetoire rehabilition kick and it was a good way to insure I polish that one up.

Frycek - this is not a 1=person-one-piece deal - or a 1-piece-1-person thing either - if your rep is in rehab then go for it - consider yourself ideologically rehabilitated as well - by the Committee

As I said you are more than welcome to it! I look forward to hearing your interpretation.
