Yesterday I was given the opportunity to be part of a master's class. The Kabalevsky was given a premature exposure but I still got some few good comments. My first two pages were horrible, but the last page redeemed the performance.
I have been listening to Bartok's String Quartets. (Currently on No. 3) It has been interesting trying to figure his harmonic language and discovering how he thought about music. I have almost given up on more than one occasion; great ideas seem to keep cropping ideas. A brilliant composer in the end. Fairly sure I heard part of Bach's Cello Solo No. 1 in Mov. 2 of No. 2. Oh well...
Lesson today. Excited for this long day.
