Well things, as a whole, seem to be going fairly well. The trio concert went well, overall, and I was very happy with the whole situation. Brahms is amazing. I've been asked to do a recital some time next month which is good. I'll get a chance to maybe do Sarasate's Zigeunerweiser which I've been working on and maybe get a good head start performance of the Prokofiev before I put it away for a while. I've really got to decide what I want to learn this summer while I'm at Tanglewood, the thing is I just can't make up my mind. I'm torn between everything from Dvorak to Paganini to Wieniawsky to Vieuxtemps and it just seems that everything is so good that I can't decide! Oh well, I suppose I shall have to consult someone about this, except I won't be seeing my teacher for another week and my parents... well, let's just say they don't know, nor do they care. In the meantime, back to my practicing for another Saint-Saens concert next week.
