While I adore Toccata in D (blame it on the original Rollerball movie), I took one look at the sheet music and…shuddered. Are those 16ths?? Oh god. I remember 16ths. Even if they aren’t, god, god, god. May your practice go well, may your fingers stay limber, may you break a leg and never perspire. (I’m the survivor of about 4 years of piano lessons and requisite recitals, starting in 2nd grade. I’ve blocked as much of the memories as possible, thus the question on the maybe-16th notes. The blocking is due to the fact that while I loathed it, I had - gack - talent, and my teacher, who sang part-time with the Portland Opera, said I could go concert level. Which scared the hell out of me. Voice lessons, now those would’ve been fun; I *liked* singing, even though chorus would’ve probably been as far as I could go. But piano was agony. I still thank god that I broke a finger and lessons stopped!) I have nothng but the highest admiration for anyone who *enjoys* playing the piano. I bow in awe! You’ll get lost in the music and those 30 minutes will fly by. Just keep thinking about the applause. [g]
