I wish finals were the worst of my fears at the end of the year. But no. I have a much worse evil to face. My instrumental Jury. Imagine that instead of a written final, you go up with 5 of the top people in your field of study and they grill you with questions. You study for 2-3 hours a day, every day, for about a month and a half in advance. Thats pretty much what my jury is.
I've been practicing Weber's Concerto For Bassoon and Orchestra in F major for the past 6 weeks. Come a week from Monday, i will get to walk in by myself and play it in front of the Principle wind players of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In an empty auditorium. Talk about a stressful environment.
I love the piece, but im not looking forward to playing it infront of them. Too much is riding on it. Say...my entire scholarship for example.

This is the sheet music for it, with piano accompaniment. I come in at measure 38 and play the top line.

This is a recording. It's not me, but i hope to sound something like that.
