I apologize for not writing last night. :-P It was 1am by the time I finally settled in my hotel room and I was so sleepy because of the beer.
2 performances down, 4 to go.
Yesterday's performances went quite well. Of course, Mahler 1 was a difficult piece of work and we only had one week of rehearsal, and therefore we weren't flawless. (What an excuse!) At least I skipped one measure of rest towards the end in the matinee concert. Thank God I was able to recover ... :-P
The more I play Mahler the more I appreciate his work. Such a gifted composer!
Next week will be Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien and Shostakovich 6. More intense work to do.
Today is a day off for us. I slept like nobody's business. But because I'm used to getting up early, I woke up at 7-ish am and decided to get up by 9am. Being wide awake makes breakfast taste better. Today is the first day when I finished everything I ordered ... lol. Doing laundry was a pain in the butt though. I'd rather not talk about the pain I went through, but I'd give you one piece of advice - when you are in a small town trying to do coin laundry - bring enough changes (that includes loonies and quarters) so you don't have to run around to get some. :-P
It's time for dinner. :-)
