Yes, good luck Eruanto!


I'd be interested to know what you're playing unless you have reasons for not divulging it.

Playing recitals should be fun. Indeed, meeting your listeners is great. And if it is an exam then listen to the second (third, fourth) opinion is good.
The problem is that most people lost that sense of fun now.
When I listen to the old masters (Rubinstein, Horowitz, etc) I can not stop thinking that they are having a good time while playing.
I know that Horowitz used to get very nervous. But still there is a thrill in these people's performances. The same can be said about Richter and many others.
Now too some young pianists are good performers.

Good luck today (or tonight). Tell us how did it go.

Eruanto,

I wish you the very, very best. Break a leg! Pre-performance nerves are horrible (I remember them).  Go wow `em and have a large drink afterwards!

 Cheesy having changed my avatar back from something which looked to me like a modern version of little red riding hood (the bugler at work again), I can now open the bottle with which i was presented at the end. tis red. 


Daniel:

Bach - Prelude and Fugue in B flat minor (WTC I)
Schumann / Liszt - Widmung
Rachmaninov - 3 Etudes-Tableaux Op. 33 Nos. 7, 8 & 9

Shostakovich - Prelude and Fugue in B flat minor
Nielsen - Chaconne Op. 32
Rachmaninov - 3 Preludes Op. 32 Nos 10, 11, 13

t-p, no this wasn't assessed in any way, but it was in preparation for the RCM exam in 13 days.

now then, happy room for me...

 # 33       Delighted to read the details of your recital, eruanto.   In particular, Widmung has very special memories for me.

Perhaps, before your exams, you'll allow me to send you a DVD-R of the Britten/Rostropovich, Edinburgh Festival recital, in 1964?   It is riveting.

I shan't forget to use the initial of your middle name, in the packaging, either!

All good wishes,     Stanley

eruando,
I am much impressed by your program. They don't give their diplomas for nothing in RCM.

I don't know proceedures there. Here I accompanying RIA for diploma (violin). There were two people there for the exam. I can not tell that the program was that good. He played only different movements from concertos. I am not an expert on violin. He passed it. There was theory too.

May be there is a difference if you study there or just come for exam. MA exam in Cork for viola was on a high level. She has to perform a public recital. The program was demanding.

I am delighted that your recital went well. Congratulations and celebrations (from a song of some famous singer).

Congrats, euranto! And, if I may say so, what a very good, well-assembled programme. I'd like to hear it right now.

Stanley, of course! It will be gratefully received! What's the programme?

Found out that my teacher will be on the panel again for my exam! Oh well, I think this is the last time that this situation is actually allowed to happen. At least there will be no coughers in the exam room  Smiley 

t-p, sir cliff richard, was it not??  Grin

Thank you for the name. Sir Cliff Richard was not known to me, but after living in Wales I know his name when I see it. Now I will know it better.
I remember my exams, long table covered with green table cloth, teachers sitting around with chair of the department in the middle.
Incidentally I looked on the net and the chair is still there. She is more than 80 now for sure. There is another teacher from old guard.

Good wishes to you from me. I am very impressed with your program.

That looks like a great programme Eruanto.

I'm pleased to hear it went well, sounds like the piano was up to it after all! Well done.

I fear that the long hours of queueing on the Albert Hall steps on Friday will either be enlivened or spoilt by the appearance of a brown envelope (marked "please do not bend" while being too big for the pigeon hole Roll Eyes) containing results of hopefully not too various shapes and sizes...

ah well, can't change anything now!!

eruanto, if I had money to burn, and could convince William Hill that you exist, I'd take odds on a successful result. I can be a betting man when necessary - or convenient.  Wink
