Carey - I enjoyed listening to your Mendelssohn piece, and am glad you're up to it now. Thanks for persevering!
Maybe you'll be joining us again for the Grieg recital?

I've got the notes and rhythm for 57.3, Illusion. Now to decide what tempo might be appropriate (although continue with slow practice) and search for how to deepen the expression of the piece. I'm not really sure what story it's telling.
For my second piece (provided no one else wants it) 65.3 Melancholy, I have started to practice (learn!) octave technique. I'm playing chromatic scales in octaves, with a flexible wrist, 1-5 on the white notes and 1-4 on the black notes, and being sure to relax my hand in between notes. It would be nice to have a teacher, but failing that I'm working from bits of discussion of octaves I've read in various places.

Maybe you'll be joining us again for the Grieg recital? Thanks Dipsy !!!! Seems like the Lyric Pieces I already know have been spoken for !! I'll take a look at what's left and see if something resonates !!!!! I'm impressed by all the talent represented in the ABF !!!

You may also want to practice them as broken octaves (bottom note-top note, then top-note bottom), being sure to relax in between. And you can also practice the octaves in rhythms.

If nobody is taking op 62 no 1: Sylphe, may I take it as a second piece?

I have a question. I hope I am not in the wrong place to ask this. As it will be my first time posting a recording on this forum, how should I go about it? Will I simply put a Youtube or mp3? The deadline is somewhen in September, how 'early' am I allowed to post my recording? Thank you.

You upload a YouTube video and send the link to it to Rostosky (not to this thread). When the time for the recital comes, Rostosky posts all the videos in order on a new thread. The video can be of whatever you like. Of course the soundtrack is your Mendelssohn piece, but the pictures can either be of you playing or of anything else you'd like to complement the music. If you have more than one piece, you upload a separate video for each one.
Your YouTube video can be either Public or Unlisted, but not Private.

Some comments I posted over in the May Recital Discussion thread, which got me thinking about my Grieg piece(s): 46. PianoStudent88 - Lyado Is Seriously Ill, Op. 62 No. 3 I think Ljado is very ill - hope he makes it! You brought out the mood very well - nicely done. What's interesting about mood to me is that often I'm not thinking "mood", in terms of emotive or descriptive words. Instead, I'm following the markings in the music, and the sound. Then it miraculously (due to the genius of the composer) comes out sounding with the composer's intended mood. This is very gratifying. 46. PianoStudent88 - Lyado Is Seriously Ill, Op. 62 No. 3 Very interesting piece ! One I've never heard. It certainly creates the sensation of something not being right, building a sense of worry and tension! - poor Lyado, must be very ill indeed! Nicely played! I think my goal is for my own piano playing talent (or lack of it) to get out of the way and simply allow the composer's intent to shine through. My role is to accurately and thoughtfully learn and perform his music. Glad you found this interesting. 46. PianoStudent88 - Lyado Is Seriously Ill, Op. 62 No. 3 This is a very interesting piece. You brought out the sadness and gave the piece a restrained, mourning sound. Well done! Thank you, SwissMS. Similar to what I said to Sam S, I'm not consciously trying to sound mournful, but fortunately Khachaturian has written that into the music so if I perform it sensitively to the sound, it comes out. For Op. 57. No. 3, Illusion, I'm still not sure how I want it to sound, or how it should sound. Currently I feel like I'm sort of leadenly getting the notes out, but with no shaping, emphasis, goal, or motivation. So I may have to resort to something I don't usually do, which is think programmatically about how to convey "Illusion" through this music. Usually I take an abstract approach guided by how the music sounds rather than any particularly imagistic approach. I've been resisting listening to other people play this; I'm not entirely sure why except that I want to discover the piece for myself and not imitate someone else's rendition. But I may need someone else's rendition to give me some ideas to start with. For Op. 65 No. 3, Melancholy, I feel much differently. At least so far it seems like the notes and markings on the page will be sufficient to get me started in how to feel the piece, without particularly trying to think of it as melancholic. It's early days on this one though; I'm still practicing octave technique (as much as I can figure out intuitively with scraps of information) before seriously starting to learn the piece itself. How does anyone else approach expressing the title or mood of a piece?

Will it have to be a video and not simply an MP3 file? I've never made a video before!!

Pianostudent - I don't know the answer (how to convey the mood/notion of the title of a piece) but asked a man who might, and the advice from beric (paraphrased) is:
On 'Illusion: "The starting point is learning what to play - right notes, etc It also helps to analyse the music and this will show a motif running throughout, but with constantly shifting harmony/modality. This in itself conveys the idea of 'illusion' - an idea seen through different lenses. (Dipsy: so the idea of the music having a goal might not be helpful, as the transient nature of it all IS the point - the piece only settles harmonically at the very end). The only way to really discover the secrets of a piece is to play it, as you play it, you start to understand it. Getting to know it really well is 'part of the fun of the hunt'! Beric also gave a tip- as it is marked allegretto seriouso, it shouldnt be played in a jaunty way - need to be more reflective, considered."
hope this helps
