My daughter Katie (katiej) has approved for upload, the first of three recordings she is submitting for the PW CD Project.

This is the 2nd Movement Un Poco Adagio from the Clementi Sonatina 3.

Very soothing, and I think she did a great job! Well, I could be biased of course!

Here is the link.

She would like to know what you all think so some feedback would be nice.

Thanks!

Mark (Katie's Dad)

Mark - Sounds lovely! It's slower than I play it, but then again I think I am probably playing it too fast and should slow down. BTW, your piano sounds JUST LIKE mine!

Thanks Kathy!

I am sure Katie will read your comments soon. She is really not feeling to good today so I don't know if she will login tonight.

Her teacher wants her to play it that slow. She started out playing it faster and he quickly corrected her.

I like it better at the slower tempo.

Do you have a recording of your version you could post? I would love to hear it.

The piano could really use a tuning. We have one scheduled for Wednesday.

No, Mark. I have no way to record. I have only played around with that SOnatina on my own, I haven't actually had any instruction so it's good to know that it should be that slow. If I was going to record something it would probably the the Eminor Prelude (chopin of course)

My piano is getting it's first tuning on the 23rd. It's starting to need it too.

SNowing hard here - how about there?

No snow here. Yet.

I could record the E Minor if you would like. It was the very first Chopin piece I learned. I just started learning Chopin this year. So far I know:

Waltz in A minor (posthumous)
Prelude in E Minor Op. 28, No. 4
Prelude in B Minor Op. 28, No. 6
Prelude in A Major Op. 28, No. 7
Prelude in C# Minor Op. 28, No. 10
Prelude in Db Major Op. 28, No. 15
Prelude in C Minor Op. 28, No. 20


I am just finishing/polishing the D flat major Prelude. Op. 28 No. 15 then it's on to Waltz Op. 64 No 2.

Chopin has captured me and won't let go!

You play beautifully, Mark. If you can do #15, you are also way ahead of me. But never fear - I won't give up. I just love CHopin. I could play nothing but and probably be happy. Maybe throw in a little Mendelssohn and Gershwin too.

Snow has stopped. Hubbie plowed and I shoveled. Hopefully no more tonight.

Thank you Kathy!

I would love to hear you play somtime. You should learn how to record. It's not difficult and it's very helpful as a learning tool.

I love Gershwin! I will listen to more Mendelssohn and see how I like it.

hey mark great recording from Katie. since your finishing up my favorite Chopin prelude(15 aka raindrops) i would like to hear a recording whenever you get a chance!

I will do that Bozo7000.

Katie is only 11 years old. She makes her daddy proud!

Very nicely done. I've played it a million times but never took the time to polish it so well.

Mark, you are truly blessed to have the talent you have together with your very talented daughters, Katie and Elizabeth. You should be very proud.
Nice work Katie. Congratulations!!!!
