Fritz Kreisler – Praeludium and Allegro

0

I remember…
Being thrown this piece when I was in secondary three.
All those DOUBLE (and triple)-STOPS and crazy techniques I had to learn.
Faster, Faster!!! Don’t use so much bow!
Playing solo with the TKGS string orchestra.
Practicing like crazy for my MEP exam.
Practicing too hard before the exam and not applying rosin to the bow before it.
My violin bow sliding all over the place (due to lack of rosin) and me desparately trying to control it.
Practicing even harder for my violin diploma.
Zhiyun, my dear accompanist.

Brings back memories, doesn’t it? (:
