I am oooh so dissapointed in myself...My usual two weekly slot had to jump forward a week as holiday plans were getting in the way. I had knuckled down, learnt all three movements of this Oboe Sonata in under a week...(it wasn't particularly difficult) so I thought "yes thats not bad in 6 days", "all the notes are there and its ornamented"..."I take it along and play it"...well Lordy Lordy Go tell it on the Mountain, did the wheels ever fall off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Apparantly rythmically I was correct but my trills were starting half a beat to early (all of them...wretched Baroque trills). Add to that I was, for some bizzare reason accelarating in the runs which as we all know is absolutely spankable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and simply not the done thing...What was I thinking I have no idea, what was I doing...I thought I had nailed it but NO, quite the contray. yes I had the notes I knew the piece but I broke the rules from a Baroque standpoint and my performance was undone...It was very frustrating. My teacher was lovely about it but as she said "Rules is Rules" and particularly in Baroque they are pretty rigid...
So there you go, tongue in cheek rant over...I thought I had done quite well...but as we all know "Pride cometh before a Fall"... Hey ho... Andrew |

And your teacher will point you in the right direction with technicalities. Don't be too hard on yourself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
