QUOTE(saxophile @ Apr 23 2011, 12:24 PM)  OK - if there's anyone out there who would like to do a small sax ensemble, please speak up! I'm roughly around Gr 5 standard on a good day, so it wouldn't be anything too taxing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Even if it's just you and I, I'm sure I can rustle something up. I have a rehearsal the day before where I'll need my sax, so it'll be with me anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Leave now approved in principle (pending confirmation of cover), South of France jaunt very iffy, so I'm signing up!!!
sbhoa, can I scan and send my form via email for the time being and post a cheque from New Zealand in May? I don't trust the post from Costa Rica one little bit. This will be my first Forum concert. How does it work to coordinate accompaniment and/or playing in an ensemble? Do we sound each other out here? I would be up for a combo with other people/someone else, if anyone can put up with me on the oboe. Otherwise, if solo, I was thinking of possibly: - a Schumann Romance if there's a pianist is up for this - or maybe Piazzolla (do I dare?) - also happy to do a much easier piece (possibly something jazzy or latino) if there is more demand for that from learner accompanists - or unaccompanied if easiest (eg a movement from a Telemann Fantasia) |

It'll be great to meet you - and you'll smash to smithereens the record for the longest trip to a forums gig.... I'm sure we can find an accompanist to handle stuff if it's not too tricky (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As far as a duet,trio or whatever goes, it'd depend on whether there are any slots left over (I think Sbhoa's limiting it to 4 combos....) but I'm up for anything with anyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

My form is ready to go in the post tomorrow. No idea what I'm going to play yet though. Will talk to teacher about it on Wednesday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Which Piazolla are you thinking of Katica? |

It will be good to see you again and to hear you play. Yes, send me the form then sort out the payment later. I'll allocate accompanists later then I put you in touch so that you can send on music. As Katyjay said I'm initially limiting duets etc. to 4 slots to allow as many solo performances as possible. If you manage to sort something out with some other people then you (or they) can bag a slot if there's one still available. You use time in the morning to rehearse together. There will be informal playing going on during the morning too. |

Oh, and my form is filled out. It will be planted in Louise's paw on Sunday when I see her, along with a nice clean 10 pound note (only the best for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ). Then both form and 10 pound note will be in your paw at Blackburn, sbhoa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've just dug out the music, I can play the piano accompaniment for Oblivion quite happily, I thought the Romance no 1 looked doable as well - but I've just tried it, I can just about hack my way through it but it is probably best left to the real pianists.
