I don't remember if I told you that I dropped the Vieuxtemps no. 5 or not, but I did because for some reason I can't get my hands around it... It seems like it runs away from me just as I get the hang of one measure.... I can pick up any other concerto and have a good idea of how it works but with this one I just can't do it!!! It's really Frustrating, I'm still on the first page and utterly lost.... If somebody wants to help me get a better insight please Write me at HidingFromyou456@aol.com
On to better things my summer is going great. My brother has had his friends over here for 2 weeks, that's the only annoying part about it.

I'm planning the Chamber orchestra Repertoire for school next semester. In chamber we basically have 4 string quartets and two string quintets, and after all the smaller ensembles perform, we have the Huge piece for strings. So I'm picking out music that's fitted to each group...really hard work. So far I've picked the Mendelssohn Octet for strings... Brahms sextet in G, Mendelssohn quartet in E minor and one in A minor, and I haven't picked out a quintet piece yet so I don't know what I'm going to do about that... If you guys have any suggestions Please write to the Aforementioned Email address. That's all for now...
