Perfectly Flawed
Well, my recital is over and done with.
I had fun. There were so many mistakes, it got to be hilarious. At one point, I put the wrong pages out and proceeded to try to play from memory until I had a chance to fix the music.
But, it was really great to play with so many of my friends, and I just enjoyed the whole process of putting together a chamber recital.
And, I had a pretty good turnout of friends and family and random others - I really like playing for people.
The biggest mistake I made was playing way too much beforehand. Each one of my groups met to touch things up, and so by the time my recital came around, I had already played for 4 or so hours. My recital ended up being way too long (an hour and 40 minutes)and I was just completely wasted mentally and physically by the end - more so than necessary.
Anyway, click here and you can download and listen to the whole thing, missed entrances, out of tune notes, and everything.

Did I download the right one? It said, "Beethoven mvmt 1." If so, it was awesome. I really, really enjoyed it. Nice work.
Flawed or not, I hope you went out and celebrated pretty hard!
I especially enjoyed the Koechlin piece. And thanks for the link to the Florez encore. That was great stuff.
No music is ever flawed. Play a wrong note, and it becomes blues. Play that note again, and it becomes jazz. Sounds great, regardless.
