Host: Lynda
We had our first session of the new year at Lynda's. We're still growing! We welcomed two new members, John and Darlene, and beamed in Liz from the UK, courtesy of David's Skype set-up. We were reminded by the selections of Karin and Christopher that there's wonderful music to be found in magazines such as Klavier and Pianist -- a lesson demonstrated many times by our founder, Liz.
Here's what we played:
Diana -- Mendelssohn, Song Without Words, Op. 67, No. 4 in C, “Spinning Song”
Karin -- Frank Sanucci, “A Plaintive Song: to my beloved brother, Jim” in Gm, in Klavier, Sept’84
Lynda -- Beethoven, German Dances [book of 3], No. I in C, Wo08
Liz -- Beethoven, Sonata in F, Op. 10 No. 2, 2nd movement
Vanessa -- Thelonius Monk, “Round Midnight” in Gb
Christopher -- Dmitri Kabalevsky, “Dreams”, Op. 88, No. 1
David -- Chopin, Fantasie Impromptu in C# minor, Op. 66
Elizabeth -- Brahms, Waltz in Ab major, Op. 39 No. 15
John -- Own arrangement, Jingle Bells, variations in the style of 10 classical composers
…2nd round…
Christopher -- Mark Tanner, Lullaby for Prince George in Bb [in Pianist Magazine, Issue 75]
Lynda -- Schubert, Moments Musicaux, D.780, Op. 94, No. 6, “Plainte d’un Troubadour”, in Ab
Diana -- Schumann, Fantaisiestücke, Op. 12 No. 6, “Fabel” in C major
John -- Extemporaneous inventions on celtic themes using mainly the black notes.
Many thanks to Lynda for the warm hospitality and the opportunity to play a terrific Yamaha.
