practise practice practise practice practise

Piano practice is killing me. After 5 hours straight of playing octaves and widespread notes of 9-10 notes (curse you ligeti /schumann /birtwistle /milhaud), the pinkie on my R.H. is currently dead to the world.

And 5 hours is barely enough, I didn't even get through half my repertoire, but it's all I can do at the moment. I come home zombified and utterly drained, and all I can do is munch munch munch and read a book. Hence, the offline status on MSN.

The upcoming recital's even haunting me in bed. My mind keeps running through my entire programme THREE times in full before I sleep, even with the mistakes I normally make in the Ligeti. (I still can't play the damned thing, bloody hell.) So that means I take 45 mins longer to fall asleep.

Anyway, here's a shameless plug for my final recital: it's on the 23rd May 1510hrs (i THINK?!) at Kings' Strand Campus, Saint David's Room, opposite the Chapel. I'm playing Bach, Ligeti (puiiiiii) and Schumann. It's only 15 min, but I'd be waffling around in between the pieces to drag it out to abt 17min. Lou had hers today, and she was MAGNIFICENT. I believe Yang'en's recital is on the 24th some time around noon; he's playing Brahms and Lutoslawski. Not sure if he's still doing the Bach. And of cuz, Sunsun isn't doing performance, so she won't be playing. I've actually got a lunchtime recital at a church in Holborn on Wed, but I doubt any of you can make it, you guys still have exams! Poor peeps.

Can't believe this is my final recital. The very last practical examination, and possibly, the very last solo performance that I'd ever give in my life. Doesn't bode well, cuz I always screw up at the big ones. Argh, I can't afford to muck up another recital!!! Even if I do screw up my own, I cannot let down all the other ppl I'm accompanying, that'd be the worst: literally Scum-Of-The-Earth. Just let me play my best for ONCE!!!!!

Oh, my 1st piano lesson since March is in 8 hrs. Not that it's going to make a difference to my final recital next week.

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.
