What’s your worst train wreck?
on: December 28, 2024, 04:35:08 PM
I have quite a few bad ones but one that my brain decided to put back in my primary memory again was when I did my undergrad senior recital hammered and I threw up backstage during intermission

Not the worst by far but pretty hilarious I’ll forever cherish that performance lol

Probably playing Chopin Op 10 no 1 in a masterclass before I was ready to play that piece in public. Let's just say I was nervous and there were many, many wrong notes :D
