I also performed the 'Serenade in A'. At the Conservatoire we often played the Piano Concerto, transcribed for two pianos. My student days hold another memory of a work by Stravinsky – the excellent opera 'The Nightingale'. Of course, my acquaintance with it was made under ‘fatal’ circumstances: during an exam on reading scores. I’m a little angry with the opera for that. It was like the Spanish Inquisition – a cruel sight. But I managed somehow and conquered The Nightingale. |
