if only...i lived in ny!  the price is right, too.  what are you playing?

[le_poete_mourant]

chopsticks. 

 

it's a duet variation on chopsticks.  everybody in the audience is going to be sitting staring, thinking, "why are they playing chopsticks? this is the best sota can do?" and then we're going to bust out with the technical stuff, and they're going to be floored.   

yeah.  it turns gets real fingery and then turns into a samba-like thing and eventually morphs into Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody 2.

sounds like you're friends with infectedmushroom.  how did it go?

sounds like you're friends with infectedmushroom.  how did it go?

it went really quite well.  hopefully turnout will be better next year.  we had some excellent performances.  we really have a superb musical staff.  it was quite enjoyable. 

actually, i am not acquainted with infectedmushroom.  what prompted you to infer that?

[pianistimo]

the name inferred more to me than it probably meant.  but, if one ate infected mushrooms - one would likely not have the same type of recital or recital experience as the 'norm.'  glad to hear it went well!
