Tomorrow I have a Bach recital in a church. Man, how I love playing Bach in churches. Especially big stone boomy ones like this one. I'm doing the G minor, D minor, and E major. Good stuff. I was debating on whether or not to add the C major too, but the Fugue still has me a little stumped, so I think I'll save it for another time. I beleive that it is the only sonata/partita that I haven't performed yet, so it had better be good when I finally get around to it! Heh.

In other news, Tanglewood is drawing nearer, and I am getting very excited. Except for this one excerpt from Rach's symphony in E minor that confuses the heck out of me. I still have some time, though, which is good.

Nothing much else has been happening in my very uneventful summer... my best friend got a trampoline, but I was too paranoid to use it for fear of a hurt wrist or shoulder. Sad, isn't it? I got a huge new amp for my guitar, and I've been occupying myself with being "hardcore" once in a while. Also, I'm playing for Kwalwasser on the 30th. Wheeee.

My dad is making me write a college essay, which is odd, because I don't need to even start applying for colleges for another year and a half. Whatever. Heh.

Well I've got laundry to do, Bach to practice, and a very late lunch to eat, so I'd best be departing.

Ciao,
Elena
