Greetings,
just perform.
Play through your program at the time you are expecting to play it, int the clotehs you are goign to wear, preferably in front of people.
Play through three times.
Play through in your head, with mime just before you get into bed.
The rest of the time just do regular techncial work.
You are a success,
Buri You will be fine. Good luck! Drink your wine AFTER you are done playing.

I have also been out of sorts this week from Daylight Savings Time.

Karen, for some reason daylight savings time has thrown me for a loop as well. However, I have nothing to do other than practice so I simply am staying up a bit later to adjust.

I am new to the violin, but in my classical guitar experience all one can really hope to accomplish in a couple of days is to polish off a rough spot or two. I would not recommend a new fingering so close to a performance unless there is a very obvious need for a change. That is too radical a change to adopt in such short order, especially as you may loose some of your ability in performance. It could be done, I suppose, but I would not recommend doing so. I once changed my fingering of Leyenda (or Asturias as some call it) rather radically, and even though the new fingering was quite an improvement, it still took almost week to accomodate and polish all of the changes.

Good luck, have fun, and don't worry too much about the rest. I always play so much better calm than I do frazzled.

Stay calm and enjoy your performance. I'm sure you'll do great.
