I performed Roman Kim's Most Difficult arrangements live in Vienna, it was better than expected

#practice #violin #technique #beethoven 5th
Not the best performance, but I went on stage fully prepared to bomb 😅 and half way through I thought about cutting the performance short because I didn't think it would go well, it was more of a mentality check than a technical check playing this piece. The result surprised me, but of course there were some brain fart moments and memory slips that happen in any live performance, I'm glad I didn't give up.
