At the beginning of April, I auditioned for the Concert Orchestra at Midwest Young Artists. I know that the results should be mailed out this week, and I'm really nervous about whether I'm going to make it or not. I think it may be more nerve-wracking to wait for audition results than it is to actually audition.
Lately, I'm working on the Danzi Concerto, a little on the Stamitz Concerto, and a lot on the Saint-Saens Sonata. I really like the Saint-Saens Sonata.
Oh, and I'm thinking about going to the Geneva Grandquist music competition at the end of June.
I really want school to end so I can play more music!

Sabine Meyer
Recently, I got a copy of Sabine Meyer playing the 3rd Stamitz Concerto. I really liked it. When she plays the Stamitz, she sounds so amazing. I like how cute and chirpy she plays her staccato notes. Her playing is so smooth, it's like silk.
Sabine Meyer started her career Berlin Philharmonic. The men in the orchestra resented her because she was a woman, even though the conductor von Karajan thought she was the best. She played there for a short time, and she had to leave because the orchestra, which was mostly men, voted her out. After that, she became a full time soloist, and one of the best in the world. I wonder what the men who voted her out of the Berlin Philharmonic think about her now.
It was unfair that she was voted out, but maybe it was a good experience, because I think she must like being a soloist. She might have been stuck in the Berlin Philharmonic for all of her life and not realize what a great soloist she could be.
