ravel, something from miroirs

that's just my solo stuff

ensemble stuff includes
trio music, trio by bruch (three pieces, out of eight)
we should really look at some more too....

accompanying

did the schumann adagio and allegro
did gordon jacob horn concerto 3rd movt
haydn horn concerto
strauss 2nd horn concerto (sooo hard..!)
saint-seans romance for piano and horn
mozart horn concerto, 1st movt
two song cycles (poulenc, gerald finzi)
some other songs
beethoven cello sonata op.102 no.2


no wonder i'm playing a lot.....!


the most recent one is the beethoven cello. this is the most exciting proposal in a long while....
my name and number got passed onto zoe, who teaches cello at the con.
she's running a beethoven project, involving the performance of all the beethoven cello sonatas.
well, i thought it was just for her students to play with piano students. pretty cool, huh, get hooked up with somebody to play some awesome music?
anyway, she called yesterday and asked me to play this specific sonata....
then proceded to give me a date (july 31) to play for a LIVE BROADCAST ON 3MBS
so, it's not just for kicks and to play with somebody. it's to play FOR PERFORMANCE.
pretty sweet, is what i think!
even my teacher didn't realise it was for broadcast....she thinks it's pretty cool too!

also, i've been roped in to help co-musical direct the queen's musical.
now tell me where i'm going to fit that in....

also, if you're free at 3.45pm on tuesday 8 may, please come to melba hall to hear me play in the mozart concerto competition!
all welcome, competition runs that day, the previous friday, some other days..(can't quite remember them all..but all up about 3-4 days with lots of piano, strings, winds/brass)
to make it more interesting for you, although a stack of people are playing the same concerto as me (the d minor), i have written my own cadenza! oooohhhh!!!! BE THERE! :) [i'd love to see your smiling, supporting, encouraging face!]
