I’ve been working on a piano duet with my Mom: a Mozart Requiem. It’s for a college choir in Rice Lake, WI (right Mom?). It’s a single piano 4 hands duet. It’s 62 pages long (so my part is only 31) and a full hour of playing.
We had our first practice yesterday and I’m pleased to say it went really, really well. I was pretty stressed out about it all day wondering if it would fit together… especially since I didn’t get to spend a lot of time practicing this past week… but it went fine. And was a lot of fun, even! I still have a bit of work to do, but our next practice isn’t until March 17th and the performance isn’t until the end of March, so if I keep chipping away at it, I should be fine. It will be a challenge to find time to fit in practicing over the next 2 weeks, with Contest approaching, but even if I can just find 10-15 min. at a time it will help.
For those of you who saw my wordless Wednesday post from this past week–this is what a couple of my pages of music look like that we’re playing. Now you can see why Mom and I got such a kick out of the picture! 🙂
Very black pages, aren’t they??
