When I say perform, I mean play.
When I say seeing it for the first time, I mean I’ve had an opportunity to see it and listen to the piece – but I had never played with this particular group of musicians before this evening.
It went fairly well, I thought.
Nervous doesn’t come close.
There were a couple of dodgy parts where I totally got the rhythm wrong – including the very end of the piece – but I’m relatively happy with my performance overall.
It heralds the start of a very busy week as I prepare to play with them at the contest on Sunday morning.
