Oh, and thanks for the nice support about the recital. I'm still thinking about what to wear. (I don't think this quite rises to the occasion of "go out and buy a new dress" for me). Shoes will not be an issue (as I originally thought) because the piece I am playing does not use the pedal. (Certain of my shoes are easier to work the pedal in smoothly than others).

I may just wait and see what the weather's going to be. It's April 26, which means it will probably be fairly warm. I have a nice navy-blue with lighter-blue-queen-anne's-lace-like-designs dress - it's fairly plain, but I could wear a lightweight shawl over it - that would probably be good. (Navy blue is a color that has always suited me particularly well).

The polishing up of the Ecossaise is going nicely; I'll probably be pretty confident about it. And I'm really not that scared - if I make a mistake, what's the worst that can happen? My piano teacher won't fire me. No one will laugh at me, or if they do, that's them being a jerk.
