This is the sign up thread of the French Themed Recital!
To add to the list, quote the last entry of the list and remove the quote. Post the new list with your entries and with this red text included.
The recital will be in April and will use the ABF recital software. The call for submissions thread will be created April 16th and the recital will go live April 30th.
There are a few rules which have been used in ABF’s previous themed recitals (It comes down to no rules really) - More than 1 submission per performer allowed - Multiple submissions of the same piece are allowed - Piano duets are allowed - Chopin will not be part of this recital since he was considered to be a Polish composer and is expected to be part of a future themed recital
Here’s a list of composers to get you going: Baroque Couperin Rameau
Feel free to post YouTube recordings of pieces that you find interesting and that meet the needs of the various levels of playing ability by forum members.
Eek, I'm the first one, I hope I'm starting the list right...

Debussy - La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin - Michiyo-Fir Debussy - En Bateau (from Petite Suite if I can find a partner to record with) -Michiyo-Fir Faure - Le Jardin the Dolly (from Dolly Suite) - Michiyo-Fir
Here are a couple of Ibert and Poulenc pieces. The Ibert is two pieces (Giddy Girl and The Leader of the Golden Turtles) from a collection entitled Histoires. The Poulenc is the first and third pieces from Trois Novelettes.
I've been wanting to revive this anyway, so why not....

FWIW, Anyone else who would like to do Sonatine (any or all movements), please feel free to do so. I've done this work previously, but never got the 3rd movement up to performance standards, so I'm a little unsure about that.
I really hope I'll be done with my re-training by then, I may not be able to make it in time. The piece doesn't look difficult and Alkan is one of my favourite composers... we'll see.

LOL. It happens. Luckily, duplicates are allowed in case you do get dropped and someone else picks it up, you can still submit it

For those who are still in search for pieces, I suggest Chaminade. She has a lot to offer, I checked the recital index and there is only one recording... Most of them are not for beginners, but those of you who could play them should take a look. I'm a bit tired of listening to the same recordings (Peter Jacobs) and there are not many on YouTube...
These are the easier ones: 2 Album des enfants (Op.123 and 126) Aubade Op.140

I would like to add a Faure barcarolle. Does anyone have any ideas on which one? I tend to go for the first one, but it seems pretty hard.
I have played the first and fourth Barcarolle. I really struggled with the first one, and find #4 easier. Both are very great compositions.
Thanks Ganddalf. I ike the first one very much. I'll also check out the fourth. After listening to a couple of them I find that I like them all actually Also the other piano pieces Faure composed.

Barcarolle #6 is also worth considering. If I ever get time for it I'll look into it myself. You may also find Nocturne #4 and Impromptu #3 interesting. The impromptu is beautiful, but very difficult, particularly for the left hand. If you are interested in some comments on the individual pieces, you may check out the Wikipedia page about Faure's piano music.

If it were the Liszt transcription, Erin, it would indeed be cool!
I fell in love with the original while still at school and then I heard Rhondda Gillespie play the Liszt transcription. I knew very early on that the Liszt wasn't going to buckle to my fingers so I tackled more of the Cramer version over the years - though I've never actually finished it yet - and thrown in bits of Liszt as I saw fit. I love the Liszt extension to the introduction!
I did peruse the Theodore Ritter transcription recently but found only a few ideas of additional merit. I have transcribed a lot of orchestral material and string quartets myself of late so I've decided to have a go at my own version but Cramer's is so close to the score anyway I may not wander very much from that.
I'm also transcribing the Carmen Intermezzo that reminded me, when I first heard it, of The Minstrel Boy that I learnt on school recorder, also in my childhood, but that'll be a simpler affair. There's not a lot of room for manoeuvre with two highly voiced melodies over a low accompaniment. Something will have to give - unless I learn to 'whistle while I work'!

You had better behave, Richard! He might just build a wall along the US-Ireland border to keep you out! And, make Ireland pay for it!
Our forums have a very strict no politics policy, which is especially important to respect, today more than ever.

I could sing it, but I'm not a baritone. Still, it might be fun
Are you now considering transposing it for your own tessitura and submitting it?
Are you now considering transposing it for your own tessitura and submitting it?
Now THAT would be cool!!
Actually, that sounds like it would be fun to do! I think if I transposed it to C minor that would work and hopefully still be playable. I'll plug it into Finale and see what happens

Got it transposed and it is playable in C minor, but I just had a thought: since it was later transcribed for orchestra, why not adapt the song version for orchestra to sing along with? I have until April, why not!
I added Gymnopedie #3 by Satie to go with the Gnossienne that I already signed up for. The Gnossienne only took a week to learn and I need to do more. I am finding the Gymnopedie #3 more challenging to memorize but I am almost finished learning it as well. Sorry to cramp PeterWS's style (since he has signed up for the same Gymnopedie before me) but the two #3s (Gnossienne plus Gymnopedie) are very nice paired together...

Does Latour count? I think he was French I just recorded Sonatina in C Major - I don't think it's anywhere near the level of what I see in this thread ;0
I hope someone picks up the pieces I just dropped:
Debussy- Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum Poulenc- Novelette 1.
The Poulenc is especially beautiful. Sadly I'm dropping them because I don't see myself getting them to a recordable stage by April. I lost a good couple of months of practice because my computer wasn't working and so i had no piano software and i found it really hard to practice without it.
I will continue to practice both of these pieces, just at a slower pace. Poulenc must have had big hands because there are lots of stretches in the Novelette, but it is so pretty.

Valencia, I started working on this several weeks ago, so I took your place. There are some quick jumps and chord rolling. And the piece needs to keep moving at a steady clip. It's one of those pieces that is harder than it appears.
Came to my senses and removed the Saint-Saens. Replaced it with my favorite Rameau piece. Won't have time to explore repertoire for this. I guess Scriabin won't do, even though he did live in Paris for a while

The Sicilienne for me, is progressing. I can say that much. Some of the harmonies in it are peculiar and not obvious, so it is not easy to remember. I always need to be putting up the music even for the familiar parts.
It is a pretty piece though, and will be nice on piano. Just glad I started with it early and will still need to continue to move it along with 2.5 months to go.

This reminds me that I need to drop Serenade for the Doll, which I haven't worked on, and instead add a couple of Yann Tiersen pieces instead.
I don't have a good excuse, like having an insane accompaniment course, but one thing led to another last November - not knowing any modern French composers, looking up the list on Wikipedia, finding out who wrote the soundtrack to Amelie, bringing the book to lessons and finding out that my teacher loves this music, but wasn't aware of Tiersen's piano works book.
So in the end, the French themed recital also solved the question of what to get my teacher for Christmas.

I was wondering...one of my favorite composers C.Franck lived and worked most of his life in France although he was originally Belgian. Nothing wrong with Rameau, but I have so many Baroque pieces at work now... Could we consider him French? I'd love to submit a prelude by Franck...

Outo, I think it's up to you to decide. My impression is that Franck was a composer more of the organ than the piano. I listened to the the Prelude, Fugue and Variation in B minor, which has been transcribed for piano. It's gorgeous. If you want to submit a Franck piece, I think most of us would be introduced to some new music, compared to submitting a piece by Chopin.

Well he was born in Liege which is Wallonia. So he's 90% French.
I'm having doubts with my Saint-Saens piece. I haven't looked at it yet and it's a BIG piece. So I would like to exchange it for another Saint-Saens piece which is not that hard and long. Does anyone have any ideas?

That is one of my favorite pieces ever...and I was thinking of submitting that exact prelude
And you are right, he didn't compose much for the piano, but what he did is all wonderful...

Do you like any of the pieces from Carnival of the Animals? Fossils and The Swan might work. Some of the other pieces are very short and don't seem like stand-alone pieces but rather parts of a larger work.
When I looked up Saint Saens list of compositions, I saw that he wrote more for the solo piano than I thought. Many may be obscure pieces that are not played very often.

You could play the piece I dropped...too much for me but I am sure it would be a piece of cake for you...
Nobody panic, but a few weeks ago I was feeling a bit ragged out and, on an impulse, asked my teacher to pick me something non-ragtime to work on to recharge batteries. He picked "Reverie". I noted that JimF had chosen that and I thus decided not to participate in this recital. But seems JimF withdrew so I figure I should give it a go.

I'm glad you picked up Reverie, Whizbang. It is a wonderful piece. I still plan on reviving it....I learned it in the spring and summer of 2015, but you know how it goes if you don't keep playing it. I was probably at about the 90-95% level, all polishing and upping tempo, when I moved on to other things. There's always a recital around here, so if I get the revival done I can always submit it somewhere.
Liebestraum 3, Liszt Standchen-Schubert/Liszt arr Sonata Pathetique-Adagio LVB Estonia L190 #7284
I give up on this recital... I still don't have a teacher and I still have not reached the point where I can practice pieces or even play (although I sometimes do play). It's all my fault but at least I'm dropping my arms on the keyboard like a pro now.
I see that the pieces chosen are all different, except for Gymnopedie 3. I remind you that it is possible to choose the same piece taken by someone else, unless the rules have been changed.
The Alkan piece I wanted to play it's nice and "simple enough". Anyone of the members in the present list could easily learn it in less than 2 months.

I've put my name down for Voiles by Debussy. My old piano conked out about a year ago and I haven't played much since then, but there's a new piano in the post and I've had this piece near to performance standard in the past so I should be able to get it back again in time for April.
I shortened my list a bit. So Ravel's Valzes Nobles and Sentimentals is (are?) up for grabs, as is Faure - Impromptu in E flat Op. 25 - both great pieces.

Hi, Schubertian! Hmmm...might take you up on the Valses Nobles et Sentimentales -- along with Le Tombeau de Couperin, it's my two favorite Ravel compositions, and I am looking for a new project for April -- might be worth dusting off. Tough piece, though -- don't know if I can get to recording status by then!

I love Le Tombeau...except that Toccata is scary fast LOL
With only a month or so to go, I'm not sure I'll have the Delibes waltz from Copellia finished (working long hours, not getting much time to practice - it's a beautiful piece beautiful piece if anyone else wants to pick up), so might have to fall back on Yann Tiersen Comptine d'un autre ete... if so @KalosPiano, I hope you don't mind.

The difference between dreams and reality is action.
I am going to be without a piano starting tomorrow for the next three weeks, while waiting for the final completion of our new apartment home. Our remodel was suppose to be done March 1st, and my new piano delivered! Unfortunately, that did not happen. Hence, I am not going to be able to complete Faure's Pavane. I love this piece, but it is not ready to record. So I am giving it up for anyone else that would like to have a go at it.
My apologies to everyone but work is taking a lot of time away from piano this spring and I am going to have to bow out this time around. I did learn the two Satie pieces but I just have had no time to polish them up at all.

what do people think about either postponing the recital or else doing this in two or three stages - maybe one in April as planned, one in July one in October - I am also considering dropping some more of mine because I have not been working at all

of course I don't mind the competition allows for the same piece to appear more times, no? Hope so 'cos I added pieces that were already in the list

There is a Spanish/Latin music recital already scheduled for October.
And there was already such a long lead time for this one, that postponing it is probably not a good idea. Go and practice!

LOL! And so the panic sets in a bit early this time!
I'm in the same boat, but nothing like a deadline that pushes you to do more than you thought you could - even if it's not 100% the best thing you've ever done.
There's still about a month, and that's lots of time. Even if you can only devote 15 minutes a day, if you can be focused on specific tasks, you can accomplish quite a bit with that.
I have not done anything about this either. I am hoping to have time early next month when there's a longer break in lessons and I have a week off work. Now I just procastranate

LOL...yes, there's still plenty of time to procrastinate
what do people think about either postponing the recital or else doing this in two or three stages - maybe one in April as planned, one in July one in October - I am also considering dropping some more of mine because I have not been working at all
There is a Spanish/Latin music recital already scheduled for October.
And there was already such a long lead time for this one, that postponing it is probably not a good idea. Go and practice! Sam
I think some of us were feeling ambitious when we signed up 6 months ago (me included: ) Maybe having 3 or 4 pieces ready for the recital wasn't a realistic goal. I think that if we extend this recital by a month or two, there would still be forum members who did not feel ready to record their piece(s).
We still have have 6 weeks until the recital goes live. At 30 minutes/day that's 21 hours.

Spoken just like a conservatory prodigy! Thanks a lot, Sam!
If by conservatory you mean a little-known regional university and by prodigy you mean a senior citizen barely staying ahead of arthritis, then yes, that's me - go and practice! And you kids get off my lawn!

Just make sure you do it daily and you will be really good at it!
Unfortunately, due to work circumstances I am unable to practice piano regularly and am withdrawing my Faure 'Berceuse' (Dolly Suite) entry. I apologize for any inconveniences.

I've just got a useable recording of Voiles in the bag so I'm going to add Danseuses de Delphes which hopefully I can polish off before the submission date.
The only thing I have ready is the Little Shepherd, so I removed my Couperin from the list. Someone else can play it if they want - its on my bucket list, but the bucket is overflowing...

I'm not sure I'll have time for it, but since people can submit duplicates, anyone else can feel free to play this as well. It's a great piece, so hopefully I can get a decent recording of it!
I added the little Menuet en Rondo by Rameau and deleted the Gnoissienne 4. I need more time for the Satie! (where do the weeks go?) Glad will be able to hear Kalos Piano play it for the recital

It is a wonderful piece. I still plan on reviving it....I learned it in the spring and summer of 2015, but you know how it goes if you don't keep playing it. I was probably at about the 90-95% level, all polishing and upping tempo, when I moved on to other things. There's always a recital around here, so if I get the revival done I can always submit it somewhere.
