waltz

amanda's piano ensemble concert will be at the young musicians' society, which is a place that holds some memories for me.

i think one of the first concerts i went to was at that place. it was a christmas thing; weicheng and joel played in it too. oh yes, the ensemble called themselves 'string toots'! at that time, i thought the name was really cute.

and once i went there with shanghui to watch a masterclass for the winners of the national piano and violin competition. we meant to watch the session in which ike played tzigane, but then due to some mix up and stupidity, we missed that one and watched the next session.

then another time i was there for my viola grade 8 examination, which was very badly done. it was also on that day that i went to buy my new viola. or was it a few days later that i went to buy?

rise also had a chamber concert there once. i played a movement from brahms' viola sonata with ruiheng, and i was trembling on stage. the long note sounded like a tremolo because my hand kept jerking. i think those in the audience who knew what was happening were laughing. then i also played in an arrangement of bach's chaconne for viola quartet.

now, i will be playing there again with amanda, ruolin and shanghui. probably for my last time.
