Bragging Rights
So this evening my trio performed the first two movements of the second Shostakovich trio. I'm working with Jiyang, who just finished his freshman year at Eastman (he's the one who played on Anton's recital) and an incredible Israeli violinist named Itamar. But anyways, I nailed the opening. Well, it wasn't perfect; I missed two passing harmonics, but hell, I think that's pretty damn good for a first time out. The rest of the two movements was fine, of course. It's only the opening I worry about.
And now mr. Vardi is here too. He makes everything all better after last week in hell.
