You'll probably have to crank up the volume a bit :) Piece begins at 1:18

Hey Youtube...haven't uploaded anything in forever, and this is largely the reason why.

Can't even begin to count the number of hours I spent practicing this, but really no amount of preparation can help you overcome nerves completely. You can probably tell that I'm slightly jittery--this being my first solo with an ensemble of this size.

Oh well, the nerves go away pretty quickly once you start getting into the music.

It's far from a flawless performance, but that's what happens when you only have a single take. But, regardless of my perennial tuning issues and the fact that I just lose count in a couple of sections, I'm very satisfied nonetheless. *Especially* with such awesome acoustics :D

And if classical isn't your thing, I'll be sure to resume my Vocaloid-covering duties in the near future - as soon as I whip my playing back into shape, after putting down my instrument for a good month or so following this concert orz

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Big thanks to my mom for recording the whole thing on her iPad (lo and behold, my first truly HD video ^_^)

Performed with the Hart House Symphonic Band on March 23
