I thought the year 1 violinist had seizures when he didn't appear onstage after the audience waited for more than 5mins. Some students were probably too bored and started applauding. Turned out that the violinist had a broken string and was changing it backstage. I bet he was practicing so hard that his string broke. No surprise since it was a Paganini caprice.
But still... T_T"'
First bassoon studio class this semester
Quite a fresh start. He asked the two year 1s to play their audition pieces and asking us to comment...but er...in the end, he hardly asked for our opinions.
He wanted someone to demonstrate the orchestral excerpts the junior year students had to play for orchestra placement. Named someone who doesn't even want to play in the orchestra and hasn't touched his bassoon for 5months, asked another who didn't have his instrument with him to play, and everyone pushed it away until the cow farmer shouted out my name. Why is it that I'm his last choice? :( I shall prove you wrong...
Speaking of proving him wrong - both joints on my left thumb hurt. It feels 'dislocated'. I can't have been practicing too much cos I have played even more during the CISMA camp. Must be the toccata and fugue lah!!! Imagine having to play this: la-so-la-fa-la-mi-la-re-la-d0#-la-re-la-mi-la-fa-la-la(8ve lower)-la-si-la-do#-la-re-la-do#-la-re-la-mi-la-fa__
Who wants to go to the one-night only Vienna State Opera performance? There's the Russian National concert in Oct I think. Any interested parties?
