Last Recital? Music Approved.

Recital music for May was officially approved.  I don't have much to say about it now, as I am just beginning to do my score study.  However, let me say this: Yes, there is a piece in Russian.  We do begin and end with two of my favorite pieces.  And there is a very large work in the recital.  In fact, most of my recital is this large work.  By "large work," I don't mean something with colossal instrumentation and a huge choir.  Bt it is about 25 minutes long.  And it is a work by a composer that I love.

So, now I start score study.  One of the pieces I've done quite a bit of score study on already.  But I will spend a lot of time researching and studying over the next few week on the rest of the scores.  Since my recital is not until May, I will not be starting my music at the beginning of this semester.  I hope to be somewhat ready to begin it when the semester starts, however.

The last recital of my educational career.   Wow.
