Most of the day consisted of running around & helping the administration ... also doing the lights for the concert, because nobody could figure out how to (I love being a tech-y person)
I had the Weber rehearsal today ... went well ... the scherzo is good, but the pianist needs to bring it up to speed ... once we're there, we're there! The finale is good, but *none* of us realized it was in cut time before! So lots of work to do there ... but once it's there, it's there ... both are going well!
Nathaniel Rosen, and the other artists who played with him gave an amazing concert!! Highlight of it was definitely the Kodaly Duo (best cello/violin duo ever written in my opinion)
I have my first lesson w/ David Krieger - very exciting ... we haven't discussed rep, but I'm going to bring in Elgar Mov. 2 (How do I do this spiccato thing anyway ...) & Popper 1 & have elgar 1 & bach as my extra things to do ...
Speaking of Elgar ... I'm going to be playing for Nathaniel Rosen in a masterclass tomorrow ... the first movement ... this is incredible, and really scary at the same time ... and I told another cellist I was nervous about it, and she said "Don't Be" ... quite surprising ... I'm always on the other end of that ...
I've never played in a masterclass before ...
Met a bunch of neat people, including a *ton* of cellists today ... and this is only the 1st week ... so very cool...
