2008 Musical Challenge

Received my assignment for chamber music class tonight. Beethoven Piano Quartet, opus 16, Grave and Allegro in E flat Major. It's going to be lots of fun shifting for the high G, A-flat and B-flat notes. I can find the notes when I look at the fingerboard but I won't have that luxury sight reading.

This week officially marks a half year of cello study. I couldn't have imagined when I started six months ago that I would even attempt playing something as hard as this assignment by now.
