Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Hey pianists -- wouldn't this be fun? (**now with music!**)

Here it is Ted - finally. I can play it from memory now (my version anyway) - I might just use it in my main repertoire now. I just sat down and attempted a recording and it turned out ok so enjoy!

Bravura Study

Hey Dan, I had a go at your nocturne - I'm really sorry, but I only just noticed all the little 8s on the score - somehow, I completely missed them so here's an innacurate interpretation!

nocturne

Hey Will335, and thank you for recording my piece!
It's really fun to hear others interpret these little "balls on lines"!
I like your trills, you make them sound like I imagine they should (I don't get them that even myself).
Sorry about the 8-marks on the score. NoteWorthy Composer didn't seem to have any 8va markings.

It's perfectly fine just to have the 8s - It will be a lesson for me to be more observant!

I thought I had replied earlier, but apparently not.

Will, I liked how you "jazzed up" my piece Southbound! It's a lot of fun to hear other people take what you came up with and then change it around in a way that suits them. If only your recording equipment was better, heh heh, wink wink.

I also liked Daniel's Nocturne piece very much, even if you played it "wrong". If only I was a better pianist, I could play these pieces for myself.

Well done, Will ! As with Ellen Lauderdale, you have shown me that playing things more slowly and phrasing with care can produce an effect as valid ,if not better in some ways, than my habitual heck for leather rush. Thank you for these insights and for the trouble you have taken.

Hows this for a bit of fun -

see if you can tell which 6 composers I quoted

This topic is a fantastic idea - if anyone here is interested in recording any of the works at www.recitalworks.com specifically for this thread, I'd be happy to send you a score.

Some previews below (excerpts)

I just got back from 10 days out of town... what a neat surprise to return to! Cool idea!

I heard Cultor, Kreisler, Ted2 (Ellen Lauderdale), and me (Shepherd's Nigun).

OK, I hope it's not too late to post music here. It's my latest piece. It's called A Rainy Day, simply because it's been raining for the past two days and when I played it on the piano, it seemed to really fit the mood the weather had created.

do u ahve the music 4 that, i would like to give it a go

sorry i haven't sat down to write out the music yet...also i probably wouldn't be able to reproduce it all exactly since i improvised the last minute of the piece in that recording.

Here's the first part of a Polonaise I'm writing.

Polonaise PDF

I have plenty of piano compositions on my website with MP3's. You can download them free as a PDF.
These include solo piano works and piano with ensembles.

Hi Matt,

I see you run your site on WordPress. You can use a plugin called PodPress to turn your music postings into a "podcast". This way people can subscribe to your music, listen to it on iTunes, etc -- and it gives you a nice streaming player so visitors don't have to download their MP3's first.

Check out how it works on my web site:

Anyone still doing this?

Prelude No.1 - "Rainy Day on the Moors"
PDF score:

My recording for reference:

Oh and don't be put off by any parts which look "hard", they're all pretty simple , ex. last bit page 3 is just a descending whole tone scale.

If you guys want more exposure for your piano compositions, you could post them on PianoFever, you can attach the sheet music of the composition to your video/audio upload so we could hear what it sounds like and watch it at the same time.

http://media.cnpapers.com/musicboy/ Here is a piece I wrote... I didn't played it too well in the video, but oh well. How do I post the sheet music from a finale file?

Hi Sam,

You can probably export to PDF from Finale. If not, install PDFCreator (free program), which is a fake printer driver. If you print to PDFCreator, it will write a PDF file.

You can then upload your PDF file to box.net or another free file sharing service.

Hey mahlzeit.... How do I export to PDF from finale... And after I do that, how do I post it on this forum... Box.net? Thanks!
