so today i had my final performance for my piano performance class. i played “mazurka Op. 17 No. 4″ by F. Chopin. i didnt do as well as i had hoped, but not as bad as it could have been. i think most of my mistakes were caused by the fact the i didnt try out that piano before i played. i had no idea how the keys would feel, how sensitive the pedal was, how the piano and room sounded, etc. some of the comments i got were “the pedal was blurry” and “the left had didnt have enough dynamics” and “tuck in your shirt”. i hope itll be all polished by juries.
i also went to a marimba performance today. i was walking into school when i saw robin, my latin percusion sub. he asked me if i wanted to come so i said sure. well, it was absolutely amazing. i talked to the girl who performed after and she was really cool and nice (not to mention and amazing marimbist). if you are not familiar with this instrument, i advise you to check out her site:
