Auditions
So I didn't make it through after all. :P But I'm not disappointed, because I...sort of knew after last night that I probably wouldn't make it.
But at least I put in a good effort, even if it was somewhat ruined by excessive pedalling and nervousness (with some rushing and quite a few missed notes/mistakes) on my part. And that was something that was recognized by the person conducting the auditions. In fact, he suggested that I try to find a duet version of this score, and he would then coach me and a partner in it.
I thanked him for the offer, but I declined because right now I'm already going through enough personal crises without needing to deal with another source of stress. ^_^; Besides, I've already achieved my life-time goal of performing in all three variations: solo, duet and two-piano.
I wish everyone luck for the concert! :)

I'm sorry to hear about the audition. Still, if you keep playing (and keep that media basket full ; ) ), you're sure to improve. If nothing else, it'll take the edge off that nervousness.

Yeah, although I guess part of the reason was also that the grand piano I was playing on was significantly different from how it felt last time, so I didn't really have time to get used to it.
