Performance, plus premier of composition

November 13, 2005 at 2:53 PM

I had a performance today - played two movements of Bach C major sonata, plus the first movement of the Mozart Concerto no 4 in D major. The bach was going great, best performance i've done all year, but one mistake in the fingerings and it threw me off and i had a memory lapse in the final movement that I couldn't recover from. But hopefully I got a pretty good recording of the largo, and also of the mozart which went pretty well. Hopefully you should see it up here by the end of the week.


I also had the debut of my composition, Instinctus et magnus. Now I'm a bit more excited about this one because it was really well received and performed well. I have already put the recording onto my computer, and as I write am in the process of putting it on my website, so I'll provide the link and it will be there soon.

I've got my exam tomorrow, which I am quietly confident about, after how well my playing went today (even though I stuffed up with my memory.)
