Hmmmm... the name of the Recital changed to Adult Beginners Forum "Beginner and Beyond" Online Recital... Is that a result of a loooooooong discussion about different skills, degrees, votes, etc? I gave up reading that post...
Sorry, for me is: "ABF Recital" aka "Piano World Recital" Yeah... at some point in the long thread, there had been so much advocating for the "Beginner and Beyond" designation that I made a post calling for any dissension, which stated that unless people started arguing against the name, we'd make the switch. But the recital is still housed in AB forum, so that's why it's phrased the way it is. No doubt we will shortly have a new 8-page thread agonizing over the name....

How do you keep up with something that was beyond your level and you just barely mastered it. It seems to deteriorate so fast when the technique in it is too difficult for you. One day you can play it and after a while if you do not keep going back to the slow tempo it just becomes full or errors when you try to play it at tempo. Is detoriation rate related to how difficult the technique is? If it is, is it related to how difficult the technique is for you NOW or how difficult the technique was WHEN LEARNED? I believe there is something different going on... (but not that that will immediately help you ;-) ) I think it's all in my head mostly.

But just because they keep their mouth shut, doesn't mean they're not thinking "oh, really? you call that recital-worthy?" Well, even that will be better than the first time I played in one retirement home and the woman sitting next to the piano said, very loudly, "You call that music?!? Why don't you play something we know?" and similar things throughout the time I was playing. I was disconcerted "See" you in the recital soon Cathy

I must resist submitting my recording, hoping that I will get a better one tomorrow... but then I probably won't get a better one, so I might as well submit it now... but I should at least try... or not...

Don't forget. You can always update your submission right up until Monica closes them on the night of the 14th. So there's no harm in submitting now. You do move "down" the list if you re-submit (but not if you just update the information).

You're right Andy, but actually the more I listen to this recording the more I hate it... actually I'm starting to hate the arrangement itself! I will give myself and this song a couple more days

Yay, all done. A little under two weeks left to get a better recording on YouTube

Can we play the same piece in the May Quarterly Recital that we submitted in the Piano Bar at an earlier time? Not the same recording, just an improved more polished performance of the same piece.

Certainly. We'd love to hear how you have improved, and I don't keep up with the piano bars, so it will be new to me and lots of others. Sam

I'm getting closer with my piece. I create so much tension for myself just from recording. I've just been playing with the recorder on to overcome it, and it's working.

I can submit a super-beginner recital piece after just ~8 months of on-and-off practice? It's just 1.2 pages, and the whole thing is repeated twice basically. I listened to a lot of the last recital pieces, so I know I'm pretty far down the skill ladder.

Yes, please, xorbe! We just had a very long discussion about how there aren't nearly enough 'true beginners' in the ABF recital (which is now called 'beginner and beyond' Recital for exactly that reason).
So please ... be a true beginner brave enough to submit something! We'll be grateful and appreciative if you do.

Well, I submitted, I tried to re-record but I was just messing up more and more!
This recording is really bad, but I'm learning a lot from the recital process. For instance, that slow songs can be much harder than faster ones. So much to work on, and I keep adjusting my practice plan. More and more tempted to get a teacher...

That's what I like about this recital too. Everything has been done up to the performance, you collect the feedback and honours, and use that for future pieces, and then it feels good to drop the piece off the list.

On the contrary... I use to listen my piece tons of times until day 15... After that, yes, it loses a little bit of "importance", but I never forget what I learned with it.

That's exactly how I feel I really need to move on... probably I will play my piece better after letting it rest for some time, but not right now and certainly not by the 15th!

Resisting to submit a recital piece until my piano gets tuned next week. And hopefully by next week, I'll have Prelude in Em ready if not, it'll be Bach again either Prelude in C major or Aria (Bist du bei mir). These recitals really make me work harder.
Adult beginner since January 2013. My only regret is that I didn't learn sooner.
