Concert Practice Performance - Suk Appassionato

I was hoping to get this recorded, but things fell apart, and I didn't end up having a recording device available. I will hope to have one available for my next one - which looks like being the AUSTA String Festival.

My performance went quite well, with positive feedback all round. My teacher was pleasently suprised. My right elbow dropping and bow hand tensing up meant my sound quality wasn't as good as it could have been, but comments were that my tone had improved alot. I performed by memory, and that was questioned, however I still feel comfortable with memorising my pieces, as I don't think I would have gone as well if I had the music out there.

Anyway, I'm performing in string class tomorrow. I was going to do the Suk again, but I don't think that it'd be very worthwhile to me, as I wouldn't have been able to change anything. I think I'll play some Bach instead - the Largo from the C Major.
