Salome Rehearsal

A trip to Macclesfield yesterday to retrieve the paintings from the art fair. It took most of the day to re-pack them, I designed two custom bits of foam for two of them.

Today was a run-through of the Salome music with Deb. The performance will be called "Lou Salomé: Empathy With Daisies". The music all worked fine, but it is challenging for me to play. Nothing is too fast; it's hitting the right notes that will be a challenge. For the first time today, I mostly sight-read it all, an invaluable first. With 12 complete pieces of greater complexity than I've yet played, I would struggle to remember it; it wouldn't be efficient to do so for one small performance.
