Hi,
sorry I have not written sooner. I do not have internet at the hostfamily and I an depending on their daughter how drops in every few days with her laptop.
I played the first round and overall I am very happy. I started with Paganini 22 and 11, which were very shacky becquse I was so nervous. At so,e point my intonation was really off and I relaxed because I figured that I would not make it into 2nd round. From that moment on my tone started to open and Bach went farely well. I had a blast in Dvorak, it was so much fun. I absolutely look positively back on it. I even already got some offers for concerts, normally that happens after you play finals!

Tomorrow night I will know if I made into énd round. If I go by theaudience I have a good chance, people even shouted a bravo... We will see... I'll keep you posted!

Yay, Carla! Bravo! As one of your fans, I'm proud of you.
We are rooting for you Carla!
Good for you! Great news.
good stuff carla. I hope you get into the next round, and if not, you know that you still impressed some people, and the right people at that (the ones offering concerts).
Please come to Alaska and play, Carla! --Emily
