Listen to my semifinal round
on: February 28, 2014, 08:41:37 PM
Many familiar items in this program for anyone that has followed my posts over the years here! This is what you have to do when an interesting competition is coming up, and you're already learning a brand new concerto for it (Prokofiev 5th in this case) - you better bring back some old pieces that you know you can get into your fingers in some days. As for this program, the main work came right after performing the first round, so, I had some 4.5-5 days to put this all together. Not everything was up to my normal level, but I hope you might enjoy this:

I really enjoyed it! Lovely recital program!
But I'm quite new here so I'd like to know if you are a professional pianist or still a student?
