Disobeying orders

December 6th, 2009 by Sarah

I hope I won’t be in too much trouble, as despite her ladyship not being 100% happy with her performances, I’m still proud of my girls. The first words that came out of Anna’s mouth after her piano piece were ‘did you film that? don’t put it on your blog!’, so here’s the cello piece instead: Orientale by César Cui.

The Debussy piano piece that I’ve loved listening to over the past few weeks can be found somewhere nearby ;) We’ll record it properly when our own piano is fully installed.

Abbie, however, was pleased with her performance – she gets quite nervous at these things, and the piano in this church is particularly awful, so despite mistakes she did really well :)

Josiah doesn’t have lessons with this teacher any more, since he changed schools, so no performance from him today. I’ll have to try and record some of his piano playing when the new piano arrives, as he’s improved a fair bit recently as well.

Apart from that little concert today we’ve had a relatively (and much-needed) laid back day, getting a bit of housework done; the girls both had sleepovers with friends last night so swapped back this morning. Ending the day with a film, dinner, and then baths and bed all round.

    I’m a bit worried that cello is going to get “decent player withdrawal” when it moves to Fran. Lovely playing :)

    I shouldn’t think the cello will notice!

    Very impressive all round. :)
