I wanted to try and catch again some baby grand or real grand, but this time it wasn’t possible. Also, life got a bit in the way too (as people waited patiently that I finally find some time and go out a bit after all the practice for the audition in parallel with work), so I guess my best “performance ” I did in this period would be the one from audition from last week. Hopefully in some next challenge I will be able to do more.
I enjoyed the process very much - it helped me with preparations, as I literally had 3 weeks to pull the sonata out from the dust, bring it back to memory, solve some technical issues and phrasing, and increase the tempo. In parallel with other repertoire and work. Nothing to feel sorry about - having in mind all the circumstances, I did all I could possibly do. 🙂

So, I invited Franz over for a lovely kaffee mit schlag, and he sat down at my piano to help me out with his lovely Moment Musical #3. Please excuse the mistakes. Franz had jet lag.

Still needs work... I lost the rubato and loneliness on the way, but gained security! I didn't have so much time the last 2 weeks because I was doing jazz in a music retreat instead of classical.
That's also the reason why I haven't interacted so much yet: no tome.to listen to all of your wonderful performances, I will do that after my holiday!
