It's really a scary thing when I apparently got so stressed out my body could not stop shaking.... welcome to a week until my recital, with a teacher telling me it probably should be rescheduled (it's not, of course, and I do work best under pressure.... but this may be a little extreme

You're playing Kol Nedrei? As in the prayer sung the night of Yom Kippur? Odd . . .

Yes, one and the same.. and not so odd. 1) It's a very popular piece for cello, and 2) my cello teacher is devoutly Jewish. I think I'm lucky to be able to study it with him; he's let me borrow a CD with a number of different vocalists singing Kol Nidrei.
