Audition Tape Update

Ugh. That was not fun. I hurt. My head hurts because that gave me a headache... my neck, shoulders and back hurt from stressing out. My arms hurt from bowing and playing. My hands hurt from shifting. My fingers hurt from vibratoing. (Is vibratoing a word?) My leg hurts because it just does. My left foot hurts because I just stood on a wood floor for about two hours with all my weight on one foot.

I made my tape in my front room. My front room is perfect for practicing. Why? Because we're still remodeling. The whole thing is wood and paint. There's no carpet or furniture anywhere. And it's bright. Which means that it's acoustics are wonderful... So that's where I made my tape. And why my foot hurts. The floors are wood.

D flat major scale: If only I had gotten the one I didn't record! That was the best... oh well. You can sort of tell that I'm playing a major scale, it only really dies in the third octave. Slurs... well, they're slurs. I suck at them.

B flat melodic minor scale: Dreadful. But I gave up. I'm not getting in anyway... At least you can sort of tell that I'm supposed to be playing a scale.

Overture to Russlan and Ludmila: Actually not horrible. For once I sounded better on the tape than in real life.

Solo piece: Pretty good. Better than usual. Phew.

I still hurt. And I'm tired.

Good night.
