Mendelsohnn Op. 19.6 Barcarole Update 2
This is much better, I feel, from the previous recording. I think the Tengyue masterclass had a big impact. I have 3 versions to choose from and each has a specific problem, but I feel this one was the best, in spite of the obvious glitch. I now have to get the Chopin ready for tomorrow's concert.

Chopin Mazurka Op. 24.1 Back in the Saddle Again
OK. I have to redeem myself after my disappointing (consistently so) performance at the Community Concert. So I got back on my horse. I wanted to record right away because I actually have this pretty well under control. There is still some refinement to be made and some of the interpretation to smooth out but, overall, I am pretty happy with this take.
