• Info: I looked at playing this for the Tchaikovsky themed recital, but had to drop out. Though I was disappointed at the time, I think it was for the best. I know that my technical abilities have improved this year and that last year this really would have been beyond me. On many levels this is the hardest piece I have tackled to date. It took me weeks to just be able to read it and feel that I knew what I had to do. It is short, but there are more voices than I have ever dealt with and though it sounds simple, it is really hard to get the nuances of tone sounding as wonderful as I'd like (I am still not really there, but this piece is a keeper and I will continue to work on it!) I would have liked to have recorded directly from the acoustic, but the weather has been so hot and humid I haven't bothered spending the money to tune it - I am waiting for the autumn at this point. Breakfast was coffee and Italian pastries.
