New Repertoire and practice schedule

November 21, 2005 at 7:38 AM

I met with my teacher today to discuss my repertoire for next year. Some good news and some ok news came out of it.

For my recital, I will do the Allegro (Fuga), Siciliano and Presto from the Solo Sonata in g minor, BWV 1001, and Beethoven Sonata Number 4, Op 23 in a minor. I will also prepare the last movement of Prokofiev's Sonata in D, op. 94a, and also Sarasate Romanza Andaluza, Op. 22, No. 1.

So, with that I'm fairly happy. It's a good repertoire, which should go well in my recital, and also will allow me to complete my A.Mus.A

The ok news was that what I had planned on doing (which was to practice it over the summer so that it was under my fingers when uni came back) looks like it's not going to happen. My teacher wants me to take at least 4 weeks break from the violin to relax my muscles. But because I will be playing violin at my christmas service, I can't have my break until after christmas, so for most of January, when I was going to be learing the pieces, I have to not touch the violin. It's a bit disappointing, but I know it must be done.

Anyway, I've got tech rehearsals tonight for the musical I'm involved in, so I must be off so that I can get there in time for a sound check, and also grab some dinner on the way.
