ANYWAY PIANO RECITAL STORY TIME

Piano Recital

So I started taking piano lessons about 4 months ago.  I actually knew how to play piano decently.  I could play with 2 hands (just barely, but that's beside the point).  So my piano teacher said that I could play a classical piece in a recital for her "more advanced" students.  I chose "Minuet in G" by Bach.

I practiced like crazy on this song.  I had it just about perfect.  Not many people could have played it a lot better.  Then came the recital. 

It started out ok.  I wasn't too worried because I played the song really well when I was practicing.  I came in and my friend/pianist Nicole was handing out the brouchoures for the recital.  I talked to her then when the recital started we both took a seat in the back.  Nicole played 2nd and I played 4th.  She did very very well.  I said that playing piano that well should be illegal.  Then it was my turn.  UGH! I started and completely messed up the first part.  Then when I moved on to the second part (which starts similarilly to the first part) I accidentally played the first part again (suckilly still, I might add).  After that, I went back to the second part and it pretty much sucked.  Then I missed a repeat.  I continued onto the next few phrases, my fingers still reluctant to move.  I repeated that and it wasn't completely sucky.  I messed that song up so bad.  If you heard it, you would have thought the person playing it was three.  IT SUCKED SO BAD!!!!  I returned to my seat as red as a tomato, or so I felt.  

For the rest of the time, Nicole and I judged how illegal each song would be based on how amazingly fast and dexterously the composition required the pianists fingers to be.  This one guy named Keegan earned a triple burning-at-the-stake from me and Nicole.  It was so good it was disgusting.  At least, I had fun talking to Nicole.  Oh, well.  It was only my first piano recital.  And Nicole said it wasn't that bad.  (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS)

ANYWAY....
