My "Concerto Debut"

Well, tonight I performed the 1st mvt. of the Krommer Conc. for 2 Clarinets Op. 35 with Orlando, the other junior in the studio at school. We were two of the winners from the concerto competition the school holds, so we performed with the HS and College combined orchestra from school at Gusman Theatre in downtown Miami.
Yes, there were parts we could've done better, small flubs, a missed altissimo note from me, a missed ritard from him, but I'm happy with the performance. I don't think anything was too noticeable for the general audience [although with our teacher there, I know he noticed :-)] . In any case, it felt really good to be on stage performing. I was glad we've gotten to perform as well- for the last decade or so the winners have only included opera singers and string players so we "broke the rut" for a little. Hopefully I'll be able to perform Finzi or something else with an orchestra next year! I think the experience is going to help my nerves (one of the biggest drawbacks I've had for a while) and so I will be able to do better in my juries and recitals and such. Music is such an emotional experience- it's my life, and I know many of you feel the same way. I'm glad we can all share it.

I don't have a recording of the performance yet, but I should eventually- and I'll probably be able to send to people that are interested.
