wow wow wow....

this is the 1st time i go for a piano n bassoon concert...

it was so cool!

hmm....lets c...

today i started to get ready at the time of 5pm....

bath then head upstairs to change...

ok....after change....i rush down for dinner which i took only 5 min to finish it...

then go up again n find a bag... :)

when putting things in my bag...i check my phone n realize that li ying will be fetchin me at 6.10...haih...wat a relieve...n i also get to that how gen is sick n wont be joinning us for the concert....poor thing...

ok...finally li ying came n off we go to fetch yee cheng in town n to cheras to fetch miss ho....

on the way to wisma kebudayaan sgm was super jam...
but thank god ...we reach very early which was 7.30...

got the tickets n we go all the way up to the auditorium...

still empty...we go all the way down to somewhere near the stage...

n somehow we found out that the ticket hav seat number where actually miss ho were told that it was free seating...

malunya.....

but luckily no one came to the seat yet....

so we head back up again to look for our seat at row U...

haih...it is so far away from the stage!!!

hmm....we waited for like 30min be4 the performance actually started....

well....the sound of the bassoon was ok to me....

just that certain pieces like the swan by saint saen was not mend for bassoon to play it...

sounds so not suitable for bassoon to play that piece...

hmm....the 1st half of the programme which is :

schumann - arabesque op.18 (piano)

chopin - marzurka in F#minor op.6 no.1(piano)

- fantaisie-impromptu op.66 (piano)

- largo from sonata op.65 (trans for bassoon n piano)

- 2 waltzes : C#minor op.64 n Eminor (piano)

tchaikovsky - barcarole from the season op.37 no.6 (trans for bassoon n piano)

saint-saen - the swan (trans for bassoon n piano)

this was all the popular ones...

the 2nd half was all composed by romanian composer....

all of them r 20th century pieces....

some r for solo bassoon n some for solo piano n also some r bassoon n piano....

most of the pieces in the 2nd half r weird...

the only 2 i like were :

ION DUMITRESCU - 5 macedo -romanian songs (bassoon n piano)PAUL CANSTANTINESCE - toccata (dance from dobrudja) for piano

hmm...seems to be like i forgot to mention the pianist n bassoonist's name...

hahaha...

so this 2 musician for this evening concert r...

pianist ~ ILINCA DUMITRESCU

bassoonist ~ VASILE MACOVEI

well...i think the pianist r a wonderful pianist...

love her playing especially when she was playing the last piece...the toccata

hmm...one thing i hate the most in this concert is...

there is one aunty sitting in front of me during the 2nd part of the concert....

her hair was SUPER HUGE......

blocking exactly every view of mine!!!

so irritating!!!!!!!!

oh ya...one funny thing is.....

someone's stomach sings during the concert....hahaha...(u should know who u r... :P)

hmm....i think the concert ends at around 10.30...

then we went for refreshment.....
