Well, one week from now I will be in Milwaukee on the eve of my audition! I can't believe its getting so close, and I can't believe I suddenly feel like I"m cramming for it. I was hoping to really practice for it this summer at Tanglewood, but Tanglewood gave me enough rep to work on that I had to focus on those things and not much else. I'm so

You'll be great, I'm sure of it!
I'm very similar about performing - I always feel like I need lots and lots of practice and preparation, like I need to be able to play the pieces in my sleep, in order to do well.

yes, it seems no matter how much time I have, its just not enough. i hope that changes with time. Thanks for the positive energy though, i appreciate it! Of course I"m still game to record something for you. I am sort of balking at the cello duo thing, as that would mean rehearsals etc and finding a compatible person. I have one such person but she lives in NYC and its a little hard to get together. A solo piece would be easier to get into recording standard.

I've actually been leaning more towards doing a solo piece these days - I've come up with some ideas and sounds I want to play with. I've kind of been overwhelmed with ideas this fall, in fact. I guess deciding not to do an application round this year really has freed me up to focus on other things!
