I'm unsure about a composition I'm working on. I decided to enter a different competition than the one I mentioned earlier in my blogs. Instead I decided to work towards a competition to celebrate the "octocentenery of the founding of the saxon capital of dresden." I had to write a piece for piano trio of about 10 minutes in length.

I need to post it by the end of this month so that it will get there by the closing date. However, at the moment, I'm about 80% completed, and the piece is only a smigen under 6 minutes long. By my estimates, I can probably get it up to about 8 minutes, maybe 9 by the time I think it will come to the final cadence, however it will be extreemly rushed, and I'm not sure whether I'll get it completed or not in time. Is it still worth me working on it, given that I am really busy up until the end of this month?

On other news - i've managed to get a ticket to the West Coast Eagles final on Saturday. This is a semi-final, if we win this we play the grand final next Saturday. Tickets are a)hard to come by, and b) expensive, so I'm really glad that I am able to go. :>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>:>
