Busy

I have been very busy since the first day of school.

The three-hour orchestra rehearsal is very time-consuming. Besides that, because of some reasons, I am studying with two piano teachers. It is very stressful for me because they teach in different ways. I have to practise a lot because I want to learn as much as I can before going to the USA. And I need to accompany two violinists. They both give me demanding works. One is Mendelssohn Violin Concerto 1st mvt and another one is Mozart Violin Sonata in B-flat major, K454. But I am so glad that S decided to switch to play Mendelssohn instead of Tchaikovsky one month ago. Then I only to have work on two accompanying pieces only. I have finished going over the notes of the Mendelssohn 1st mvt and I am trying to polish it and play it on tempo.

The Mozart seems to be not very difficult. However, the piano part is quite difficult indeed. My classmate did some research on this piece and he told me that in this Mozart Violin Concerto, the piano is actually the "main character" rather than the violin. To certain extent, it is possible to say "the violin accompanies the piano". I predict that I will have to spend much time to practise this piece with my classmate.

孟德爾遜的E小調小提琴協奏曲是我的至愛之一,家中已藏有多個名家演奏的CD版本,暫時最喜愛的版本是鄭京和於1983年與Montreal Symphony Orchestra (cond. Dutoit)合作的Decca錄音,那份青葱之美流溢於音符之間,使人陶醉不已!
請問你們樂團的演奏是否作公開演出?可否在此透露詳情?預祝你演奏成功!

Perhaps I didn't explain very clearly. Mendelssohn Violin Concerto 1st movement and Mozart Violin Sonata in B-flat major K454 will be performed in student recitals at school.
