Christine deer, I have a strong feeling you are from great talent but I may be to young to kown. But I feel it so i finish your topic start for now. If you have made recording in a concert hall please put your composition up either by small introduction of another composer or your own. I think it will recieve the reverence of people now 27 to wait for you. Quality ear will always wait for you. I am glad one man from NYC (where I learn about it from USA ) know about this and my other young friend. Other man is older who would work at Julliard School now for coach language singers one is tenor with the promise for career. I may hear him to our country in October. Please put your sound on piano on this website we are waiting. And we love you. If you can dream this idea I think you can live again in case you did feel so discouraged. Do not be discouraged, Christine. You can have food and a place you can live and you can compose if you have the desire by your writing to us on the page or ring in our ear. We look forward to this. Please excuse my lack of poet in my writing like you do. This is not my language but movement in music is my real language I think although I can play the piano with good reading, I am not a writer. I would send a prayer up for you not for a religion but from my heart so you cannot be alone. If you hear Stephen Sondheim, alive in America it is from the musical "Into the Woods" -- 'No one is alone'. I know Beethoven had a hard life for being locked in a closet as a child. Now we know humanity from him. Did you hear Rudolph Serkin ( also his son) and Pablo Casals they had a summer international humble place in Vermont, USA. I was in Graz one summer, and there I meet a American who said in America there are many kind people who would kown your talent. We wait your story and if you have time for put up the audio also video or some other photograph. I can send you some later, also when I am 21 now. As far as Tanglewood if you were at that place in Massachusetts and you played you can get them from the archive perhaps which they save. One more thing I can tell you from America Mr Leonard Bernstein came here to do his Mass which was heard by some older friends I knew. Because we have the net we can love more people and that is my point. I am glad someone told me you have the idea. I hope you will show yourself then you cannot tell what people will come from under the rock out. Even Scotland. Please give us a recording to you have impressionistic period. That is my favorite just a short piece that everyone will love your piano playing. Mostly I was careless about save my playing but I can make more. I think you have played in a concert hall I feel it.kiki

hi u r bzy i thk. i wd lk to do cd. so fr onlee fone or live touch. ppl like me ply tho. kk :)

Hi Kiki I think this site is going to be a good venue for connecting with artists around the world. I am reviewing the music I've recorded and will be uploading some of it in the near future. I want to start with something delicate, probably Claire de la lune of Debussy and the third movement of Ravel's Sonatine. I'll see how that goes. I want to do some more recording. I'm not really pleased with most of what I've done so far. Artistry takes time to mature and one's playing can grow dramatically in even a short period of time. One's life experiences also mature the playing. I can only hope that someone will listen. Christine

I am an a Artist

ok i am back now--boy from holland usually wants plan something for five years from now,so gives me plenty of time-- for the contact. ha ha. he's a funny one. go very slowly wanna know many detail how to arrange the concert. ha ha . as far as recording VERY GOOD ...tht exactly what i hope you can do when you get the time but dont have to rush it. if i learn nothing from holland it is do not rush it. take a lot of time like you also said in your writing. brahms is one composer (buried in vienna) took quite a bit of time but we hear it now--. do you know what i hear last night..chopin 3 minor piano concerto. maurizio pollini ..not much orchestra did chopin write as you know it....very soft for the piano solo...it is so beautiful. i bet you would play that one so wonderful . sorry no caps. ll/kk. :)

And one note on this--As you know ..summers ago-- we moved my piano to my upstairs bedroom...where I decided i would attempt to conquer the Beethoven 3rd concerto with many fans blowing on me. This was to avoid parishonnnnner traffic...and provide just a closed door of concentration..into the man.. Recording wise-- you also know that I love the score interpretations of the symphonies..as well as the scores which certainly number into the thousands and thousands and thousands...but a friend of mine has found some very good re-mastered work of Toscanini ...whom I Love when blindfolded...those old scratchy LP's...but the guy was clear..and somewhat at the beginning of recording it all...amazing stuff to absorb...I"m in seventh heaven over that right now. So feel free to move about the cabin carrying my birth certificate but take the pail with you when you go down to the lake...we need dish water.... Georgeann Peterson.. (is it possible I can actually keyboard my name on a simple white page ? or are the Russians coming to get me ?)

Second part of what i meant to write tonight and got interrupted VIGOROUSLY BY my 93 year old....the 86 year old is a joy and a darling compared to my much more vigorous and may i say OUT OF CONTROL ...93 year old who has to bring the neighbors into all of his republican philosophies...I'm not a republican...and especially not with mr war and his beauty queen whose kids are taking care of her kids...hope her hubby is happy with his job but i would't wanna work for a pro life baby maker...too busy for her own babies....just my opinon....sorry but she's so blatently ALASKA....what can you do ...It almost makes me tolerate Joe's teeth bleach job..and hair transplant...line...hey it's Washington....how many face lifts for Ms Pulosi now ? sorry sorry sorry... recording technique....i love what you said.....small 3 minute samples that anyone can try....with a small download price....for someone who cares about the student...the not so well musician who has had to caregive or just chose to use music for a hobby....(this is not based on work output...just attitude) and now hopes to have time to take advantage of the youtube type thing....isn't trying to advertise....after all isn't famous enough to advertise....just wants to put something out....( 20 people on line right now reading )...i'm glad to be a member of your idea....Christine... Only because my high school alumni people wanted a DVD of some of my orchestral work...was one made FOR ME....i have to say FOR ME...because i'm a full time caregiver....ask any medical professional around here and they will validate it.....It's not done for the money...It's done from the heart... But your idea has gotten me away from the video aspect ( what i mostly have are videos actually...i should have taken a copyright out on MY IDEA when i sent some casual in home and rehearsal at school videos....someone stole the idea i think....frankly ..i won't mention any names....or discuss my mom's chandelier as i think of the moment i decided to send a casual video ( non pubic performance) to a certain artist....but especially the talking living room stuff....and the talking to the orchestra rehearsal stuff....I already knew from the Boston Symphony that the OPEN REHEARSALS WERE THE BIG FAVORITE from the Ozawa days....You know the same thing...and just turning on your video camera when you are practicing and teaching...( or talking to the camera by yourself....) I was doing in 1985...voila vhs to dvd....no biggy..... but the audio is the most intrigueing.....therein lie some of the gems of piano work that you've mentioned which players of various levels can try....I'll speak to my MTAC collegues here locally in Redlands...I think the idea is fantastic....yes i know myspaces are out there too....but there's a thrill about someone wanting to pay 3.00 to hear you play or need you to play...like getting your first gigs.....nothing like it.... Looking forward to your Debussy and Ravel numbers /// Christine....I really am....Maybe I'll pick the last mvt of a Haydn Symphony I did....here....but anyway I've been a potato cooker...since the 2000 year hit....pretty much....My parents needed me.....and it's been ok.....It's only 2008 and when I was 8 years old....I needed them...too..... You're a lovely person to your clients now...I hear it....when i overhear your voice....which whether people know it or not is a beautifully mezzo...gorgeously articulated pleasure....for the ear....Such has always been the case....and what fun we used to have playing arias for each other....I was always trying to sing too high though....Puccinni Rondine high C....how silly of me....My place is at the piano.....Singing is way too hard.....:-).......................gd

gasp..look how i spelled puccini .. serious moment...trying to be sensitive about it... conference call request..a couple of hours ago...via email...planning committee for next oct... everything is done with technology now...have to say the lack of know-ledge about it is scary... yet...i was so little when i used my dad's tape recorder..so so tiny...in life..and i still remember the rush of winging it...and then seeing what came out..and uh...learning to mend broken tape with splicing tape...and sizzors...when i was 10 i hit my stride....had a library of tapes...not sure why my dad had a recorder...actually because he didn't listen to his stuff..i kinda don't ..either..i remember people somehow getting copies...especially of the camp lawroweld..."experiences' door to door... my dad STILL goes door to door...family doesn't go anywhere...it created us..it creates us...we make decisions...and we record them everyday... i heard ben kingsley (sp) say something to charlie rose ..the other night.."people think an artist does better when he's suffering...i don't think that's true ...really...to come home to warmth..allows focus...i found myself only ready for it not long before i met my wife... i think actors..can convince themselves of most anything at any time...which is what makes it a tough life to sustain...yet in it is insight..always insight..in many cases...bravery to come out of the obvious and say it... i hope this marker..(2009)...will allow just that for my closest friends..whom i am sure i can count on one hand.. georgeann m. peterson-okubo--dowswell p.s. something else kingsley said...from his perspective...that it was something he thought was profound that a woman could so quickly sense that she would take the earth on....he didn't think men had that..making them more vulnerable... kind of a fascinating guy...this communication stimuli all through tape...technology ..and a video screen. there are times when i don't think i want to go live..and worry that a baby will cry..at a moment when i need to concentrate most...people call it stage fright...some do...but i've never had that exactly..some butterflies but not fear...the race horse energy takes over and you can do things you otherwise would not be able to do if the live challenge were not there ....but for example...horowitz..sensitive to the highly neurotic 'category' the know it alls would say..loved doing his RCA tapes...and stayed in 12 years ...to do it...this is all on video tape as well...or disc's...whatever you're using today.... long p.s. eh ? sorry 'bout that. pondering whether i want to do a confernece call or take the effort (worthwhile in my case)...to meet live....and smell the air of the auditorium...FIRST.... I STILL BELIEVE THAT TOUCH IS THE TRUEST SENSE....touch the one you love every day...my new year's project..im missing some stuff here...as an adult....breathing..in....and tasting of...whilst...observing and listening are right up there....touch is reserved....seating or standing..4 mee

one more resolution...and you can add your own...in your mind's eye....MUST GET BACK to that roller skating on the sidewalk...feel...to life....that i had when i was 10...much of what we want to do is probably genetic...(was reading my father's commentary..from "the war" in the "mad about redlands" section of the redlands daily facts..( nov 3 )..he wanted to get home to cigs..ballentine...and the skating (ice..my uncle ran one)...rink....my mom's not athletic...some are...some aren't....but i like the feeling of letting of limb steam...but enough about me...forces sometimes try to silence me...scars of life....part of being 60...how to deal with that phenomenon...part of the wisdom quest. wisdom...the great...aphrodesiac..SP 2 me.
