Eight

I have a performance today. I know I'm ready for it. I performed the Barber 3rd and Brahms 1st movements yesterday in studio class. It gave me a little confidence knowing that I can get through the pieces and the Brahms was actually quite musical. I'm excited for my recital tonight in Columbus. I'm sure everyone will love it, and give me support afterwards. At this moment, however, I would like to clear my mind and try to think about enjoying the music tonight. This is something I am currently learning. Music is emotionally moving, and people do listen to it to get their emotions played with (ending in a preposition is bad!). I want to be able to do this for my listeners. I also don't want to be boring to watch. I want to move a little bit and let the music move me! I will report more on this after the performance...
