The weather was so cool today morning I couldn't help sleeping in till 11AM!

Went to the Saal or Hall in the Kino Museum at 2.30PM to record 4 Rachmaninoff Preludes and I'm so happy to say that it went JUST RIGHT. Recording Classical is no easy thing and this time I did each Prelude in 1 SINGLE TAKE. I absolutely LOVE the Steinway there. It makes the recording so much easier and more enjoyable when you have sound control over the piano. There are misplaced notes etc - RFI room for improvement.

With the final "project" of this period DONE I suddenly felt so LIGHT so CAREFREE like some stone has been lifted of my shoulders. Almost wanted to run back to the academy!

My aunt and I rented a boat on the river which runs through the middle of the town for an hour - something I absolute LOVE also ... the thrust the rudder the estimation the control! LOVE BOATS to the MAX. It was so relaxing slowly cruising the river amongst all the beautiful buildings on the backs and all the trees bushes and the ducks in the water! SO BEAUTIFUL.

So after some packing at the academy we went out for Ice Cream and then headed to the supermarket to get some breakfast for tommorow morning. Especially since we're leaving the academy at 5.45AM. The train leaves 6.20AM and in between we have 20minutes to transfer trains and buy early lunch before arriving at Frankfurt Airport.

This is it for the last day. Posting pictures from the Vienna leg up on Facebook now.
