It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I know this might sound premature, in the light that the Satie recital is yet to be performed. BUT, the next one is so mammath, we need to get it started now.

48 pieces in all, to be performed mid February 2013, please sign up and grab your chosen piece while you can!
Your scheduled performance date of mid February, 2013 will bump right up against the long-running and highly popular ABF Recital which is always scheduled for Feb. 15th (May, Aug., & Nov. 15th also) and which typically draw 50, 60 or more entries.
To space things out and avoid undue severe competition and insure a better chance for success you might want to consider a performance date about half way between any two ABF Recitals, say Apr. 1st, July 1st, etc.

I agree with your date and am glad that you are trying to "shake things up."
That would be so fun if 48 of us agreed to play 1 of the pieces each....lol.
But...so many factors stopping this from happening..among the few - different playing levels and abilities, not everyone likes to play classical, etc....if enough people sign on, count me in!! I'll need to decide now, because I'm an extremely slow learner and need to start now...lol.

TJ, I am sure wayne will work with folk on a better date if you fear competition, but there was no need for suggesting April 1st , thats just out of order.

No fooling - just the strangest of coincidences, I assure you...

Only joking TJ, couldnt resist with april fools day an all!
anyways, come on tj how about you?
This is different from the "usual" abf recitals, for a few reasons, one of them being in the "regular" abf recitals folk choose anything they want to play, this is very different, it is themed and also some times folk get whats left, which isnt necesarily what they would have chosen to play...
hence the extra work, it may take folk out of their comfort zone, BUT, that is a shared workload and everyone helps each other be it through Pms on technical advice or just support through the thread.
What do we achieve? Many things not least is a greater knowledge of the scores, through shared study and help, but also a deeper understanding of where the particular composer is "coming from" furthering our understanding and knowledge of that composer.
Furthermore we become a "team" or further strengthen the ABF "community" this is no trivial accomplishment, as many folks are isolated in their home at their piano/dp and laptop.
Some folk have no outside interaction with other musicians, and struggle on without teachers, being part of a team effort, online, on the piano which is their main love, and interacting with like minded folk can be very helpful and raise the bar some , a step forward even.
This will be brilliant and totally doable, no ones expecting top notch allegedly flawless performances, but there will be some is my guess....
What a magic thing to be involved with.....
Here is all 48 songs without words in one video, there are six pieces in each opus, and if you need help finding where your chosen piece is just ask, should you not want to listen to all two hours....
OR, you may want to listen to all of them to help choose a piece....
