Concert Fantasia un motivi de Guiseppe Verdi's "RIGOLETTO": Bassi

I haven't really planned my second one yet . . .

Good Grief! There is enough music on this program for TWO recitals already.
Seems to me you might want to drop at least one piece (if not two) in order
not to kill yourself both during and preparing for the recital.

I did a "killer recital" once with 6 hard pieces on it and in addition
performed the Mozart COncerto with orchestra the night before the recital. I
lived through it, but you couldn't pay me enough to do it again now. I DID
have a very impressive callous on my lower lip, though.

Just a friendly suggestion. Hope it turns out well in any case.
