Ok, I have my "noon recital" this week(a recital we are required to play every semester at noon on Tuesdays)... and I have to play Cahuzac's Cantilene. Not a terribly hard piece, but I've only played with a pianist like once with it and not through the whole thing.
My problem: I can't count worth beanz.
I haven't played this piece in a month cuz I moved on to another piece, so I need to practice with a pianist!
I emailed my accompanist to practice tonight or tomorrow.
No reply.
Not to mention I will be playing this piece and Horovitz's Sonatine on Friday!! Both of which need to be practiced with pianist.
I'm going to have a heart attack after embarassing myself in front of the school of music Tuesday then in after my jury. *sigh*

The piece has been recorded. Maybe you could get your hands on a copy before the concert and study it.

CG, I produced the album senza is referring to. A word to the wise -- hunt your accompanist down and rehearse... a lot. It is not a technically difficult piece, but to play it musically, time in spots should be a little elastic. That is a recipe for disaster if you can't count and your and your accompanist doesn't know what to expect. For a little confection of a piece, David Hattner and his accompanist (a phenomenal soloist in his own right) still put in some serious rehearsal time to get their musical message across.

If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, an ounce of rehearsal must be worth about six tons of performance. Personally, I would re-schedule. Chuck

I wanted to get a recording... found nothing on Naxos.com... nothing on Amazon.
The library here only has a RECORD! As in LP... and you can't check out records, you have to sit there in the library and listen to it. So I don't have time for that.
But accompanist just emailed me back... she wants to rehearse Monday, the day before the performance. *gasp*
Hopefully, it will go alright.
Thanks for all your help, and Jack for the midis!! That helps a bunch.
