Suzuki Book 7 Recital

Caleb put in so much work and effort into performing his best at his final Suzuki recital. Most Suzuki students don't make it all the way through book 7. He played beautifully and had a good crowd there to listen. He had a spoken introduction to each piece and then played. Each piece was memorized and polished with all the nuances included. His playing is stunning, and it was an amazing accomplishment to put on a 35-minute concert of memorized, difficult music. His program included:

Prelude & Fugue in D Major by Johann Sebastian Bach

Sonata in A Major, K. 331 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mvt. 1 Andante grazioso
Mvt. 2 Minuetto and Trio
Mvt. 3 Alla Turca

Romanian Folk Dances by Béla Bartók
1. Stick Dance
2. Sash Dance
3. In One Place
4. Horn Dance
5. Romanian Polka
6. Fast Dance

Nocturne in C-sharp Minor by Frédéric Chopin


Admittedly, picture-taking is generally not on my mind. I did video record a few of his songs, but Matt's dad was the only one who snapped a few pictures.
