Isn't it just a great feeling when you go to a rehearsal and come out knowing that you've put in your all. That's what I gave on Saturday, our last rehearsal before the concert.

How do I know this? I managed to break my E string in the middle of Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 - the second piece in our program. I played the Rest of No. 5 and all of No. 6 up on the A string, before I was able to get an eing on and was able to join in somewhere in the middle of the Dvorak (Last Movement of Symphony No. 9).

Well, I need to figure out what pieces I'm going to play for my up coming performances:
Concert Practice this semester: Suk's Appasionato
Concert Practice next semester: Brahms' Sonata Op. 78
WAMTA Recital and Concerto Compertition: Recital Section: 1 or 2 Movements of Bach, and Suk Appasionato
Concertos Section: First Movement of Mozart Concerto in D
North of Perth Music Festival: Two Movements of Bach
South Suburban: Suk

Yes, that should be good preperation for my AMus exam and my end of the year exam.
