Chopin C minor Nocturne

'Consequences' was a Collaborative Challenge, started in June 2013 which ran for several months. Below is the original description of the challenge, as first explained to members of "The Piano Cloud".

The challenge is a bit different to other challenges, in that we cant predict when it will actually finish until we know how many are taking part; so this event will be used for initially collecting signups to participate before the challenge launches next week, and then discussing and organising progress of the challenge - as well as for helping anyone who gets stuck :)


What is it?
------------

Are you familiar with the game "consequences" in art / writing - where a work is started by one person, and then passed on for someone to draw or write a subsequent part of the work - e.g. a few sentences maybe when dealing with prose.

Children often do this with drawing on a sheet of paper folded over many times and passed around.

This event is a unique collaborative challenge, where anyone interested puts their names 'into a hat' by signing up on this event.. to be drawn in a random order. I will gladly administer the collection and passing-on of each submission to the next person until the end of the list is reached. Each participant would only hear the section previous to their own. 


The Goal
-----------

We hope to end up with a superb musical journey through all sorts of styles and ideas. It could even start and end with the same person submitting the first and last piece. There would be a guideline length of maybe 30 seconds to 1 minute absolute max per section but beyond that.. totally open ended. This could even run for an extended length of time - maybe a few months, or as long as it would take to get through the list / run out of entrants!

The end result will take two forms: 
1. A set on SoundCloud, to which each contribution will be added
2. A seamless continuous "mix" of all contributions as one piece of music, which will also be uploaded to SoundCloud. 



Guidelines and 'Rules' 
-------------------------

- 10 days - 2 weeks per person (subject to change if we are inundated!)

- Guideline length, whatever you want to write - a few bars is great, as is anything up to around 30 seconds, 1 min Max.

- If you are really on a roll, the absolute maximum is 1 minute (less is sometimes more!)

- If you miss your slot, it's no problem, you just drop onto the end of the current list.

- I will maintain the 'list', receive and pass on the sections, and pick a random order.

- Piano should be the main instrument used.. but other instruments are completely allowed

- If anyone runs into problems of gets stuck, we are all ears for helping / offering some guidance and suggestions.

- Forfeiting your slot for any reason is also completely fine - no pressure here at all - it just rolls on to the next person on the list.

I'll write a (weekly?) update in The Piano Cloud group to serve as a reminder to anyone, or to pass on the flag to the next person, or relay other news on the progress of the challenge.

Collaboration: Consequences Challenge - Group B, Complete Mix - The Piano Cloud

Due to everyone being so pleased with me putting up a recording of me performing Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata', I felt like it would be a nice idea to put up for free download other lovely pieces of music that have been in my performance repertoire over the years.  The Chopin Nocturnes I always particularly loved and are very beautiful.  Enjoy!!

Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 No 1

Chopin - Nocturne Opus 9 No1 (Glenn Morrison playing on a Steinway D Grand)

The Canon in D by J. Pachelbel

LVB's weirdly underplayed Op.90 sonata in E minor. Here's the second movement played by me. Gentle, bi-polar, inward-looking, darker than it first appears...

Beethoven Piano Sonata OP 90, 2nd movement

Chopin: Waltz in C#minor op.64 no.2

Track 6 - "Humoresque, Op. 10, No. 2" from:

Tchaikovsky Complete Works for Violin & Piano 
Sasha Rozhdestvensky & Josiane Marfurt
DE 3413

“He (Sasha Rozhdestvensky) belongs to the great line of outstanding artists. His approach and relationship to music and the violin is intense, highly sensitive and intelligent.” -- violinist Ivry Gitlis

With this release, distinguished Russian violinist Sasha Rozhdestvensky and acclaimed Swiss pianist Josiane Marfurt offer the only available collection of P. I. Tchaikovsky’s music for violin and piano that can be considered truly “complete.”

The original score to the composer’s transcription of his early song for these instruments – Oh! Chante Encore, Op. 16, No. 4 – was long believed lost, until Rozhdestvensky discovered it recently at the National Library of France in Paris. This delightful and engaging work is offered here in its world premiere recording.

Chopin – Nocturne Op. 72 No. 1

Frederic Chopin - Prelude No. 4 in E Minor - Largo

Chopin: Nocturne in C Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 1

Chopin's rather mental study in C minor. This from a supposedly asexual, sickly, man-child of a composer...

Chopin Etude No. 12 in C Minor, Op. 25

Monti-Csardas

Written and recorded over a period of more than two years, “Paraphrases” is a collection of chamber music compositions performed, recorded and layered through numerous recording sessions in a small room in northern Germany near the Baltic Sea.

Christoph Berg scores the history of eight narrow worlds, carved only from wood – violin, piano and double bass. The initial composition “Quiet times at the library” defines the tone, but the album also sees many shades; the solo piece “Poems written by an old (prepared) piano”, the crow haunted field recordings of “Interlude” and reverent remixes provided by Yasuhiko Fukuzono (aus) and P Jørgensen specially for the CD edition.

The direct intimacy of the material is a stark counterpoint to the sweeping cinematic grandeur and electronic sound manipulation of previous releases as Field Rotation, and is also the logical progression from 2011 releases ‘Acoustic Tales’ and ‘And Tomorrow I Will Sleep”; the former a tribute to literature, and the latter a paean to hibernation after exhaustion. Completed in the brief escapes allowed by gaps in graduate study, “Paraphrases” is a recontextualisation of the experience of exhaustion, written in other words.

Mastered with precise weight by Ian Hawgood, the 250 run limited edition 180gm vinyl is packaged inside heavy gatefold four panel sleeves, wrapped within an A1 double-sided poster. The package also includes a double sided 12 x 12 hand numbered print along with a hand numbered embossed letter-pressed CD with fold-out booklet featuring striking photography by Aela Labbe. Extras as always will include scent, card and download code containing audio and PDFs. The album is a treasure of both talent and soul, and the extraordinary packaging from the label and considered art design by Ian Hazeldine reflects the classic nature of the material.

Release date: 30.11.12

Pre-orders this weekend through the Facture mailing list.
