Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

Ah well. Finished high school.

on: May 20, 2008, 09:54:20 PM

Or, more precisely, our eight-year gymnasium.
Ta-daa! Almost top grades. (A slight math problem... log(a+b) really doesn't equal log a x log b...

)

AND I had the honor to attend Alfred Brendel's last concert this very evening.
I suppose this counts as a good day.

Congratulations, I guess. College will suck the life out of you, if you're planning on going...

^Pianogeek, ignore those types of statements. Go and have a complete blast (if you so choose).

Haydn's f minor variations, Mozart's K533, Beethoven 27-1, Schubert D960 (which was, by the way, totally amazing).
I will be doing two schools from September on - the conservatory and a math/computer science university course.
