Deborah,

I completely agree with you that it would be unconscionable to expect
a pianist to do a recital with you for free. However, would one be
willing to split a recital with you? He could play up to half of the
recital by himself and accompany you for the second half. Also, a
bartered exchange of services is possible. E.g., if you are a good
cook, provide the food prep for his house party, etc. Teach his child
clarinet for free (at least for a while). These are just suggestions.
I'm sure you can think of others.

I could use some advice. It looks as though there is really no place
for me to play in my area except a community band. I seem to be in
limbo, more advanced than the community band, but,not quite good enough
for the local symphony. I am frustrated!

Here is my question: I think that if I put together a recital, I can get
my musical fix for a while. I have no money to pay an accompanist.
Would it be weird to ask someone to play for free? I know that a good
pianist deserves to be paid, I just have no money.

Please give your honest advice/opinion.

Deborah
