3/4...no....5/8....no....2/4....2/3 ??? AH!

June 13, 2007 at 7:48 PM

I was in my studio practicing Shostakovich yesterday pondering the challenges of it and the necessity of digging out my metronome instead of just tapping my foot. It didn't take me long to decide that the metronome was necessary ... 2/4, 5/8 and 3/4? Keeps you on your toes! So, after wrestling Shosty for half an hour I switched to Brahms....that was a mistake. I am thrilled though! A Shostakovich piano trio and a Brahms piano quintet for YAE this summer!

I was going to write more and be more thoughtful and reflective but I have to catch a bus soon so I will save that for later tonight or tomorrow morning when I am not on a schedule.

I can see that you'll be well prepared for YAE. Even the preparation is fun.
