help I’m an organist

I came back yesterday from a harpsichord competition. Even though I didn’t win any place (and honestly I still don’t know anything about distinctions or the final scores) I heard from several people that my performance of Marian Sawa’s Missa Orbis Factor was the best one there.

And honestly? That means a lot to me. I was competing with people who have been playing the harpsichord for years, while I’ve only been learning it for about six months and only as a secondary instrument. I simply had too many little slips and mistakes during the performance. But at the same time I have to admit that musically speaking aside from those small mistakes I’m really happy with how I played.

Even though I didn’t get the chance to perform at the laureates concert it was still an amazing experience. The concert hall was beautiful I met wonderful people and I learned a lot from the whole event.

And remember one thing: just because something doesn’t work out once or twice doesn’t mean you’re a bad musician. Every experience teaches you something. That’s exactly why Im already signing up for workshops today so I can keep improving and after that I’m planning more competitions and more trips
