Just pretend that you're naked.

This is your second one now, right R2?

I greatly admire anyone who can perform- particularly those who are nervous about it. Just the idea scares the bejeezus out of me. I don't think I'd be able to keep myself composed.

Do well!

And know the place for the first time.

Thanks, all.

It went well.
:thumb:

I performed my piece without any mistakes, and without any music. :cheers:

My teacher said I was "flawless."

All of this is exciting for someone who has been taking for less than a year.

Thank you all again for your patient advice and encouragement. The second one will be easier (I have done Masters Classes, Opti, but not a recital).

I am drinking a beer now.

Thanks, George.

I went alone this year, no husband, no kids, no parents. Maybe next year I'll invite you all out. ^_^

89th -- he had lots of microphones and a video camera. That freaked me out, so I didn't ask about it, just pretended I hadn't seen it.

You played Jimbo, right? That's such a cool piece. You should learn Dr. Gradus next. :sombrero:

No, Jimbo was for Masters' Class.

I played Gondellied in A (Songs w/out Words) by Mendelssohn. It's short and sweet.

I popped in here to see if you had a post-recital update. I'm pleased to hear it went so well, R2 (not that there was ever any doubt). Congratulations; you deserve that beer.

I was prepared with a foot cramp in case things went poorly. The reason for this is that I actually got a few while practicing, so I felt well-studied on this malady. Also, it's so random that no one would suspect that I could make it up, and it's somewhat unique, so no one would relate to it, and maybe give me more sympathy.

The woman who went before me, though, has cystic fibrosis. She pulled up an oxygen tank with her, and played a Chopin nocturne beautifully. Heartbreaking.

Kind of made me feel ashamed for my foot cramp idea. :wink:
