Piano Recital

CRASH AND BURN.

"Arabesque" did not go as well as I had hoped despite my attempts at practicing as much as I could. I messed up and couldn't get back into the swing of it right away which was devastating after all the time I put into it! I was able to pull myself back together and end the song well, but I still wish I had been able to get the whole song done perfectly!
This is one of my major flaws that hold me back a lot of the time, I've come to discover. I am always striving for perfection, and am heartbroken when it doesn't come. Piano is especially hard when I see others who play brilliantly, but then I have to remember my phase when I wasn't practicing at all, and those weeks when it just slips my mind. Most of the time I say it's because I don't want to disturb others, but I know deep down that isn't a legitimate excuse.
"Ode to Joy" with Cristine when well at least! It wasn't perfect either, but at least we did a good job! Cristine was extremely nervous, and at first I wasn't sure if she would be able to do it, but she pulled through, and I'm really proud of her!
