Oh and I forgot to mention...

August 30th: University of Rochester Symphony Orchestra Auditions (AHHH!!!!)

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, Opus 13...Pathetique - Adagio cantabile.
In a singing style

Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune from Suite Bergamasque

Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2
Inspired and dedicated to his psychiatrist who nursed him out of depression

It's amazing what these three pieces consecutively can do for a person's mood. The first piece sets the mood, the second piece really sets you imagining Moonlight and consecutively, reflection on your deepest thoughts. Rachmaninov's opening movement stirs you slightly out of your thoughts but then proceeds to lead you through his second movement gently. In the final movement, he rouses you and awakens a feeling of joy and soaring even from the darkest despairs of your heart with the final theme of the last movement, summarizing his struggle and his triumph over depression.

Just wow...what an emotional roller coaster...
