My 2nd recital as an adult returnee. Whew, I'm glad it's over. The hours of practicing Kreisler Praeludium & Allegro until my family was sick of it. I was nervous for days on end, but found myself strangely not nervous while playing. Maybe I was just not realizing my nerves or adrenalin was rushing through my system, but I got through all the hard places and doublestops great, only to flub some of the easier straightforward parts. Boo hoo. What a way to ruin a piece.

I had all these last minute fingering and bowing changes, and broke the tip of my bow while practicing (hit a corner of the violin, nice dent). And this morning I had to swap out my E string that went flat. Nice Titanium Vision E though, that high note in the Praeludium part really rang out nicely.
