So I had an audition with a professional symphony. I couldn't play as well as the other people there for starters, but in addition to that, I messed up considerably because I was nervous. But I made it that far, which says something I suppose. I think I might try again sometime.
I plan on doing another recital with my friend Jonathan at any rate. I think I might either do an all French recital (it would be almost overly romantic) or perhaps an all Russian one (heavy, depressing, and sometimes sarcastic). What do you think? :D

Fuare "Apres un Reve"
