Last night, from 6pm to 8pm, was the Christofori End-Of-Year concert. About twenty students and my piano teacher, Ms Lin Li, performed at the Christofori(Funan) Event Hall. I was feeling very nervous and there were butterflies in my stomach. I was the last student to perform. (Even more nervous)
When I walked up the stage, my palms were sweating profusely. I started on my first song which was the 2nd movement from Sonata in C by Mozart. Halfway through the song, I slipped on a note and forgot the whole thing. Praying that no one would notice, I started all over again. (*phew*)
The second time I played, everything went quite smoothly and I got a generous round of applause at the end. Then, I started on my last song which was Waltz in A Flat by Brahms. This was a more difficult song than the first song, so I was more nervous. I tried to imagine that no one was looking at me. Towards the end of the song, I slipped on the pedal but managed to continue and end the song like it was supposed to be. (*phew*)
I was given a louder applause than the first time, so I was quite happy that my efforts did not go down the drain. My teacher and family praised me for the good job and commented that it was better than my performance on the 19th of November. (Really?)
I was glad to hear from my uncle that the audience was also enjoying my performance and swaying to the rhythm. Well, at least I get some exposure in perform in front of strangers.
