A long 9 year wait...

Finally, after 9 years of wanting to bash through the Brahms Piano Quintet, I finally got to do it yesterday evening in the company of some good musicians. There were tricky bits - but Brahms' cross-rhythms are always kind of tricky and confusing. Amazingly, we played through the 3rd movement without crashing albeit at a tempo a tad slower than the professionals. Nonetheless, I walked away from the practice block thinking 'Gosh, its been ages since I bashed through pieces like that'. It was a very sweet and satisfying feeling.
