I noticed 'Themed Recital's' have spread over to PC

To be fair I think that's been an on-going thing with them for a while

(but it is nice to think we may have inspired them to start up again, isn't it?

What is PC?

Pianist's Corner

That den of iniquity!

....and I thought we'd started something lol

Looks like the Alkan E-cital started in January.

So I tried recording again today, and don't know what's wrong with my brain but I think it forgot how to brain. I will try again tomorrow. I am thankful for all the nice OPleds who are giving a little extra leeway as far as the deadline goes - looks like I'll need it!

I participated in a Schumann Recital at PC way back in May of 2010 - and they were doing them before that, so it's been going on for awhile.

Exellent ....... if we could get a joint project going, that'd be great The next one, would indeed, be 'massive' xxx

If we do go "joint" be prepared to be blown away by some seriously good pianists. A few today on the Mason & Hamlin tour pretty much intimidated me with how good they were. I should feel secure in my ability to just be where I am. But, I was stunned by how well some people could play.

I juuuust sent Opled Peter the link to my video. Had to spend like an hour choosing between various recordings, and settled for one with one obvious misplay, but a little better articulation overall. Have to leave the perfect recordings to the experts here

Re-installing Quicktime (I'd updated to Windows7) did the trick. Now, like Allard, I need to choose which version. I'm disappointed that they have glitches even with my diligent study. I think I have some kind of finger dyslexia (it happens when I type too) so that my brain signals to the fingers misfire. Ahhh well. I did enjoy learning them and someday I hope to enjoy performing them.

I turned in my two videos to the Opled's last night. It feels good to be done! My pieces are not perfect, but I am happy with how they turned out. I learned a lot from these two pieces.

I finally made friends with iMovie to add opening and closing pictures and titles. That was fun! I can't wait until the 15th to hear what everyone has done.

As far as combining the themed recitals with the members recordings in the Pianist's Corner, I think I would be seriously intimidated by that!

Done done done. Can't wait to hear them all.

I too would be greatly intimidated by a joint recital with the PC group.

Which is strange perhaps, given that I'm not intimidated by the (significantly) better performers here in ABF. I think it is the tone of the forum and the strong community we've got going here - I feel inspired by ABFers!

Allard - you`ll be leaving it a long time . . . Griegy ensured "perfection" would NOT be achieved!

Why does everyone isolate the "PC people" and the "ABF people"? Aren't you allowed to post in both?

By the way, this is as good a time as any to ask if the wink on PW really is a wink. It's never looked like one to me, and I've always used it to mean what it looks like - sort of a squint, to express skepticism or mild disapproval.

There I go again.
