Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Recital 34 --- Call For Submissions

I remember Traumerei from my music lesson days. This does not go down well with 14 or 15 yo boys, believe me. Stopped soon after . . .

So one could say you were "Traumatized by Traumerei"... {ba-dum ching}

My piece needs some more work, although I did get a banker in tonight. It's a pedal-heavy piece, since I promised my teacher I would work on the pedal after I blew off all his pedal suggestions for my Tchaikovsky piece...

It's from Ben Crosland's "Cool Beans vol. 1", which some of you may recognized as a contributor here, along with his publisher, Nikolai.

Looks like I'm in at #20. I was just doing a few practice recordings and I liked this one so I decided to submit it. Maybe I will replace it if I do better.

Sam S, yes copy-paste that's what I am hoping for. Thanks for confirming that it works fine if done that way!

But Monica did not yet confirm that.

Monica, you basically copy the text to the PW pages manually as Sam S described?

peterws, yes this not particularly a macho piece And it's a lot harder than it sounds, because of up to 4-part counterpoint and complex fingering.

You didn't have any control over which pieces you were to play?

I never had any particular choices since I was a reluctant piano player and, don`t forget, she`d need to be able to play whatever "choices" I might have had. The only thing I did was "The Dambusters" by Eric Coates which had too much octav-y stuff in it for me and had been consequently "trimmed". She went through it slowly, making sure I hit every note. Another reason I left . . . .

{Monica sighs wearily} Wouter, when I process the submissions, the recital software spits out a copy and paste text that I do indeed copy and paste into the individual recital thread entries. What I can't confirm is that the code that you submitted, and which is currently showing up when an administrator looks at the entries, will be translated into that copy and paste document correctly. And I can't confirm THAT until the night of the recital itself and I click on the button that says "process the submissions."

Bottom line: You're probably fine. But I can't guarantee it, because I don't know enough about how the software works. Moreover, I am not able or willing to engage in a whole lot of messing around on recital night itself trying to learn html and/or how to edit it if for some reason it is not okay. So if you want to rule out the possibility of gibberish showing up entirely, don't use fancy characters/code.

yea Monica

Cathy

and I'm in at 22 !

I'm at #23
This is fun

Thanks Monica. Sorry for bothering you. I then assume that this will work out fine in the end.

Looks like I'm in at #24.

I decided not to try to re-record my piece, so I'll stay where I am. At this point I can either get a recording that's (mostly) free of mistakes and not too horrible in terms of musicality, or I can get recording that is much closer to what I want in terms of musicality but is also riddled with mistakes. I guess I'm gonna go with the former....

I don't know what place in the line I submitted, but I made a submission today this morining- "Back at One" Brian McKnight

You are in at No 26

Right.
You just have to select "Show me..." in recital page https://recitals.pianoworld.com to see all the pieces.

Thanks for the info.

Two days with the Red Dot and I haven't gotten a better take. Dang.

I know what you mean. With my placement of the mic, the big red light is actually starring at me right in the face whenever I look up from the keyboard!

I cannot wait!! I'm going to submit to my first recital since joining this forum!! EXCITED!!!!
