This past Tuesday December 2, I played my first recital since June 5, 1994, when I was eight years old. (I have played the piano in public many times, mostly in church, just not in a recital context.) I had only eleven days' notice from my teacher; he took me to the recital hall a few days before the recital to practice on the Steinway, the best piano I have ever played. There were about 25 performers on the program; they are the students of the Piano Pedagogy 1 interns at the university where it took place. I played:

J. S. Bach: Chaconne from Partita in D Minor (shortened arr.)

Brahms: Sarabande and Gavotte in A Minor

The performance was really fun. It was my most memorable performing experience to date.

Signed, Thomas
