Just figured out my mom reads these things to figure out what my mood is... hmmm let me think, this could work in my favor! :)
I have not done anything in the past couple days, except getting very shocked trying to go through Ysaye 6. I also started Tchaik Valse Scherzo and Dvorak Concerto, which are not that hard, just need to practice (which is the hardest thing for me anyways!)
Bach a minor is still quite well in my fingers, now I just need to work on those incredible illussions Manze creates in Biber that there are at least 3 different instruments. The recording is really fantastic. I also bought a recording of schubert songs with Fisher Diskau. Wow, what a voice!
I looked at a DVD with Oistrakh playing Brahms, Tchaik and Sibelius. what a treat. And then I got this recording with Kreisler playing a lot of his own work, the charme this man has! Or what to think of Heifetz with Walton concerto?
I know, I bought way to many recordings, but it all served a very good purpose. And at the same time that was "my personal prize" from Korea. Most of the money will go to paying off loans, but this was just my little treat.
Well, I am thinking I will retreat further in my room. My last couple of days I have been playing the fiddle a little, but mostly just hanging on the couch watching DVD's (Troye, Girl with the pearl earring, Spring, Summer, fall, Winter and Spring and some other good new DVD's) reading books (I love Paulo Coelho and I just started Anna Karenina again) and listening, lots of listening. Probably soon I will have enough of my little retreat and decide to be more productive, but right now I don't need to and don't want to. Life will be hectic soon enough.
So Mom, don't count on me getting any less lazy in the next day or so. I'll see you on tuesday morning (7am) in the pool again. Untill then, I am not doing anything!
