Performance Review - Concert Practice 1st September
J.S. Bach - Sonata in C Major, Largo and Allegro Assai

This was an ok performance. I was fairly nervous once I got out on stage, and this affected the Largo. My chords were really scratchy, wasn't producing the tone I can, however the tone I was producing from the single line work was really good. I also felt that in the largo I had some really great musical ideas, leaving enough space where I wanted it.

In the allegro I was a bit more relaxed, and this produced a better performance in this movement. There were a couple of slip ups on memory, but I'm sure that will be fixed within the next week.

Comments from the Audience was very encouraging, and I am feeling very positive. I do have stuff I need to work on, but there's always stuff for me to work on.

I've got a recording of it, but although I said it was good, I'm kind of reluctant to put it up, mainly because of the chords in the Largo. If I get people wanting it up, I'll put it up.
