Julia's Dance by Shostakovich (solo)
Julia's got some good stuff going on in preparation for the recital!
(0:50) Julia plays Shostakovich's Dance (Album for Children)
Quick Study: Jimbo's Lullaby
Ok, this one is kind of child's play, but it was a nice little challenge for the day. The articulation needs some work, but I was happy with some of the shaping.
(2:59) Joe plays Jimbo's Lullaby from Debussy's Children's Corner
Quick Study: Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition, Promenade (Opening)
I wanted to see how long it would take me to record a half way decent recording of this. Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is one of the seminal works from the Russian School and was made even more famous by Ravel's orchestration of it. This is the opening piece, Promenade, which is the recurring theme in between each portrait.
