excellent gandalf, I would invest in some rechargable aa's and a charger for same, it will pay for itself in the long run.
I was considering the zoom today as my canon fs100 just nearly died, well nearly its developed a strange problem and it doesnt do music well at all, in fact there are no settings for the audio that can be changed in any way.
Here is the weird canon problem that had to develop just now when I need it.
I plugged the charger in: no charge light on canon showed. It also would not switch on. I bought a new charger: no difference.
I need the mains charger to be plugged in to download or it doesnt do it.
So, I got a standalone battery charger and a card reader.
I now have to take the battery out to charge it, and then the std card out to plug it into a card reader to download it.
Not exactly satisfactory but a workable workaround for the problem it has mysteriously developed.
I was told the zooms are excellent and from members recordings here, they seem like the optimum choice for the money.
please let me know how you get on with it and how you find the audio settings if you get time.

Right okay dokey folks, I know that you all have , and all will probably be practicing up untill the last minute, ( I am so looking forward to my pm,s on the twentieoneth of April !!)
Seriously though, about the twentieoneth of april, if you can avoid leaving it to the very last minute, then please do.
Anyways, this is about something else that i would like your views and opinions/reasonable suggestions/sane ideas on.
There are forty eight songs without words, each opus has six, and six X eight = forty eight when I went to school.
However, if we say on average that each piece is 3 to 4 min long, then 48x 3 min would be one hundred and forty four mins long OR 2 hours twenty four mins in total.
If my maths is correct.
Now then, I thought and thought about the different ways of posting the recital up, and I COULD do it all in one go, so anyone could go and listen to 2 hours 24 mins of total mendelssohn.
However, that seems a tad hasty in the old "total" bit of "total mendelssohn" for 2hrs24.
So, alternatives where thought about and even oddball ones like "draw out of a hat" to decide the order of play.
But, the best Idea so far has been : do it by the book itself, by opus and opus no.
So, ( again) 6 in each opus, 8X6 = 48,
Therefore I wish to post them up as follows, 6 per day over the course of eight days, in opus no, as they appear in the book, devoid of any favouritism or anything else unruly.
As far as I can see, ( even with me glasses) that will give us time to take in and absorb each set of six with another six tommorrow and the next day for eight days to look forward to.
This would seem to logistically make sense and also not overdose us completely in one big go, it would be in effect "mendelssohn recital week" Except of course for it being a bit longer than a week, Okay then typical of us and RST; "Mendelssohn recital week and an bit"
Unless, the consensus is to post the whole recital up in one big two hr twentyfour minute chunk?
which i could do if enough folk tried to convince me to do with most excellent reasoning and logic of course.

As one who plans to listen, I rather like the idea of having small packages to manage rather than one big one.
It is a lot of listening and I think I'd be more inclined to savour the smaller batches. With a bigger batch I'd feel pressured to "get through them all".

Rostosky - whatever makes it easiest for you is great. Posting them a few at a time is fine.

Sounds like a good idea to post in sections.

Thank you Ganddalf and dire tonic for your generous offer to pick up LimeFriday's recital pieces!!! She is extremely relieved that you've offered to play them so the pieces won't be missing from the recital.

I think the Opus 102's got it lucky as they'll have an extra 7 days to get theirs to you. :P But I do like the idea of one opus per day.

In favour of opus book at a time, but would also suggest a random book order play list at the discretion of administration. So as to avoid ... I think the Opus 102's got it lucky as they'll have an extra 7 days to get theirs to you. :P But I do like the idea of one opus per day.

I'd prefer the correct order, but will go along with the consensus

I like the idea of so many a day. It would be best to have a logical order.
Start in reverse order . . .
