JulieK Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thank you to all the quick posters!! Love listening to it before I try to tackle it myself! I may even be able to get this one to a speed that's appropriate (I loved working on last month's, but I didn't yet get it up to full speed... Having fun trying though!!).

cboody Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Lovely Jim. Very gentle and nice. It is not the way I hear the tune, but it certainly is a good way to hear it and you've certainly absorbed it nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yes, and Jim's version lets us hear it as the waltz it's claming to be, doesn't it? Vivat variety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Besser Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Yes, and Jim's version lets us hear it as the waltz it's claming to be, doesn't it? Vivat variety! I played it for dancers long before I knew it was Mozart. I believe I first heard it on a recording (an actual vinyl record) by Alan Day's band Gig CB, played as a dance tune.

Chris Drinkwater Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Here's my version of this tune, which is a popular English session tune in many parts of the UK. It's a melody only version with my own variations. http://soundcloud.com/aeolaman/michael-turners-waltz Chris Edited May 10, 2014 by Chris Drinkwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tona Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Hi,here is an attempt with my dear Friend Emmanuel Pariselle who spent several days at home. He's playing his Dipper G-C franglo while I'm playing my Dipper Baritone duet. We are playing this tune with a lot of customization... included a minor arrangement!... Sorry for the purists But it works very good as a mazurka!...I tried also to take up the challenge to play both parts of violin 1 and 2 (thank you David for the score) but not enough time to memorize them well.The last rounds are a wink to the "theme of the month" of may and about tempo variation of a tune...cheers! http://youtu.be/xCL1HoUc8HI souncloud link : https://soundcloud.com/thoon-1/michael-turners-waltz Edited May 12, 2014 by tona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the customization, and the excursion into minor is wonderful. You are both amazing musicians. Thanks.

Chris Drinkwater Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Great playing, as usual, Emmanuel and Thomas, however the dog seemed unimpressed! Perhaps he's heard it all before? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tona Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks to all What I like in totm (thank you Jim for what you do) is the difference of playing of C.neters and I seize the opportunity before taking some rest of recording sessions for a while to tell you the interest and pleasure I had to discover and listen to the playing of others. You are right Chris for my dog who nethertheless has a very high tolerance as a dog to free reeds instruments!... cheers!

ceemonster Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 [[i hope I am like many who always have a go at TOTM but would never consider recording it myself.]]] you're not alone. i just can't face learning more tech right now. i'm having to do it in other life functions, and it's eating into my time for the stuff i actually care about more than enoguh as it is. the thought of figuring out how to record and post soundclips is too much for the the foreseeable future. but i really enjoy choosing and tackling some of the themed tunes....

Wolf Molkentin Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 the thought of figuring out how to record and post soundclips is too much for the the foreseeable future. but i really enjoy choosing and tackling some of the themed tunes....If you manage to play a tune in a way you'd like to provide and have discussed this "technical" issue shouldn't stand in your way... With freeware "Audacity" you might just record one mono track through your notebook mic (which will give you quality fair enough for instrumentals), cut it out if there should be initial noise or a final sigh and save this excerpt as an MP3. Create a "soundcloud" account then and do the uploading - that's it. I'd be happy to go through the steps with you in detail if required...

Daria Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I have only been playing the concertina for 4 months, and my playing is very choppy , sloppy, and erratically timed, but it has been a really good learning experience for me to try the tune of the month and to record it. Thanks for encouraging beginners to post. PS.This is my first social media post EVER. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExmPd9lIH60&feature=em-upload_owner#action=share Stagi G/D Anglo 30 Edited May 20, 2014 by Daria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
