Yes, we've all done this. It's funny when it happens to someone else!

We are growing! Thanks to the efforts of everyone who is promoting the tag and the Dischord (https://discord.gg/ppVmmgt).

So, now that the community is growing, I can't list everyone's post anymore each week! This is a great problem to have, but it means I have to be really a bit more selective each week unless I want to spend a whole day doing the curation write up! It also means I'm changing the way that I list my own posts for @bengy and @musicapoetica. Obviously, I think I write good articles that are worth reading/listening to, however, it is a bit of a conflict of interest to list them here in the recommendations. So, in the interests of avoiding conflict of interest, I have listed my own posts that I think are worth reading/listening at the bottom in a section titled "Shameless self promotion".

Before I continue with the point of this post, I would like to mention that [I have applied for a delegation from] @karensuestudios to help our community grow. Please go over and help me if you can! Or if you have other projects in mind, go and apply also! Just try to make it worse than mine!

Listen and Watch

As I mentioned before, there are now a lot of posts that need to be looked at! These are just the ones that caught my eye, if you are not mentioned, it's not a comment on your post. Please feel free to get the word out on our Dischord channel.

"Theme from Schindler's List" by @silentscreamer is one of our top entries from our community from this week's @openmic. The other leading entrant is Clair de Lune by@silviagoh. We have many other entries from other musicians from our community, please go over and support them! You will find their posts in our Dischord channel.

I enjoyed very much this relaxing guitar solo from @grayarty, The Watermill by Ronald Binge. Originally for Oboe and Strings, we can hear it here in an arrangement for solo guitar. Also in the "relaxing" mood, we have a contemporary composition by @timspeer, Modern Classical Piano No. 1 (original).

Lastly, from our regular band of guitarists, @guifaquetti, gives us pleasing performance of Vasco Martins - Hayku III.

It was the birthday of Chopin this week, and so it was fitting that we had two posts by @cmp2020, 7 Pieces by Chopin and @guifaquetti, The Nocturnes of Chopin.

Also from @guifaquetti, we have the The guitar of Dilermando Reis (1916 - 1977). This was a really interesting read for me, I didn't know anything about this man.

And lastly, an introduction from one of our newest members, @rogeviolinista! Go and say Hi!

Shameless self promotion

My application to the SP delegation is here. I am hoping that a touch more SP will help me to grow the community even faster!

I have a short Grave from the Bach solo suites for violin and also a Crucifixion sonata by Biber posted. Also from @musicapoetica, there is a snippet from the completion of Bach's Markus Passion and a round up of previous performance posts.

In the writing section, I have a short description of the glamorous life of a travelling musician inspired by my current travelling schedule. Meanwhile from @musicapoetica, we have What is temperament and Why is Early Music freelance.

Music Quiz

Congratulations to @zpedro who was first in with the correct answer, 0.1 SBD is on it's way. However, according to the rules of the quiz, @guifaquetti wins the 1 SBD. @tomista also came in third and wins nothing...

What is this piece?

Who can name this piece? First correct reply will get 0.5 SBD. However, to get around the google image searches, I also have a second part of the contest. Post your favourite performance of this particular piece, and I will pick a winner (the performance that I also like!) for another prize of 0.5 SBD.

Bonus Music Quiz

Thanks to @cmp2020, who donated his prize back for a bonus prize.

What is this piece?
1st hint: French
2nd hint: there are 2 of these!

Who can name this piece? Second correct reply will win 1SBD, read that properly, to try and get around google searches it will be the SECOND reply. First correct answer gets the consolation prize of 0.1 SBD.

Here endeth the curation, next time I will do this on a computer instead of a phone....
