Ok, so here it comes. La Cinquantaine from Suzuki cello book 3. No repetitions, it’s long enough without them.

This is first time ever when I'm playing "public". I don't like to be in a spotlight, and I'm very self-critical person. It's huge step for me to post something where I  see some mistakes. I can play this better when there is no camera nearby, it makes me nervous and this is the best what I can do just now. I still want to post this and I’ll take this as a good practice to relax and trust myself.

Sorry about the scratches. When I try to focus to some part I feel some other always fails... It would be better to play this without notes, I do memorize this, so then I would focus better all the nyances. But as I said, the camera bothers me and I might totally forget what I'm doing. My goal is to learn to control my nerves and be able to play in some recital later this year when I can go back to my lessons. 

I think it's still time to move on and go back to this piece later, hopefully with some fresh ideas.

Ilona - that was a joy to listen to!

The only one I don't get nervous playing for is Madmartigan & he's one of my cats!  One other one is too old to care (like my BH) & the third one runs out of the room.

I've rarely played for anyone with this Covid-19 virus - which is terrible.

Please show more!

Thank you all!

Now when I have took this first step and posted video here, the second will be easier. It wasn’t so scary at all. 😊

I started 100 days of practice challenge in January, and put some picture or video to my facebook account every day. 100 days has already gone a long ago, but I turned it to 365 days of practice challenge and the day 200 will be after two weeks. I will do some videos for that anyway, so I maybe might post one also here.
