Two days ago I wrote about my technique jury but today was the true test of my repertoire skills. The jury, if you don't know, is the final exam for applied courses or lessons. You go in and present your best piece and then from a list of your prepared repertoire that semester a panel selects what they want to hear or more so what they want to test your ability on. I presented selections by Bach, Haydn, Liszt, and Copland. I presented the Bach and they selected the Liszt. You never know the results until several days later but I felt good after this one because one of the tougher critics before I left said that I told some great stories through my pieces and I overheard someone say what a talented young man. It's a stressful time of judgment but if you go in prepared and do your best everything turns out fine. Now just to wait on the results.
