McGill piano audition


so, they've asked me to play for them live after listening to a pre-audition recording i prepared around christmas time (with the help of a cutie pie sound recording student at McGill named Carlos). yay for me! february 20th is the date.

what am i playing? Brahms Rhapsody Op. 79 No. 2 (brilliant piece); Bach's prelude and fugue in E major from Book I of the well-tempered klavier; the 1st movement of Beethoven's piano sonata No. 6 in F major. i'm just loving it. my teacher says she pictures me playing Rachmaninoff preludes. that made me slightly giddy.
