I had a good lesson today. We spoke some more about possible exam programs. Arthur told me yet another horror story of a student learning the wrong repertoire.

As it stands at the moment it will be a Bach prelude and fugue, a Beethoven sonata, a Rachmaninov etude from Et. Tab. and Debussy's Cloches etc. I'm a bit worried about not playing Chopin.

Being on hols at present is good because I can practice when I'm not tired.

Finally, I can leave the Brahms rhapsody behind or should I say 'for the time being'. It was driving me and I'm sure, my neighbours bananas.
