I'm a glutton for punishment, what can I say.
Canon Powershot audio quality FTW u_u
At the last minute I was asked to play for my great-great-aunt's 80th birthday party (which consisted of a lot of other 75-80 year-olds -_-) by my equally-great uncle, and he asked my mom if I could "play something peppy? None of that highbrow stuff -- we don't want to put people to sleep."  Then he also requested that I play his wife's favorite songs: "Ave Maria" and "The Wind Beneath My Wings" (way to keep people awake, with those choices  ). Anyway, yeah. Things went fine, these are Bourrees I and II from the third Bach Cello suite. I truncated Bourree II by not taking the repeats, because it's the "boring" part of the piece  . It's not perfect, but it came out alright considering I brought this up from a year ago, and practiced it for all of an hour. My mom insisted on having my dad record me on the camera, and also on posting it on Youtube, now that she's discovered it.
In other news, I'm so freaking excited to have found Vaughan-Williams' Phantasy Quintet for TEN DOLLARS. This is a piece that, on average, costs at least $65. I threw in the score for an extra $3.50. Here, listen to it.
There's so much viola oh my GOD. DOUBLE THE VIOLA.
