This last Tuesday I performed it at a recital hall at my college, and as a first time performing this in front of people, I think I turned out better than I was expecting!

Congratulations on playing this at your college recital — taking on a piece as demanding as the Mephisto Waltz for a first live performance takes real courage, and it is great to hear it went better than you expected.

How did playing it in front of people compare with practising it at home? I am curious whether the nerves made the faster passages feel quicker than usual, or whether having an audience helped you stay focused through the longer sections. Well done, and I hope you get the chance to perform it again.

myfancytextgenerator I’m always nervous so playing it in front of people caused me a bit of mistakes but that’s what progress is, but I’m doing better being accustomed to playing in front of people
I also peformed Dante Sonata in my Freshman year, so this was one other big hurdle to get past and I’m glad I was able to!
