yes! exams are over! though there's still a harmony paper to go... oh crap! i left my harmony with the whole stack of mep notes in ms!!!! bleargh... why am i so blur nowadays? luckily i should be able to ask kk or gerald to help me zap and pass to me during pianofest. whew!

mep was quite crappy... only studied beethoven, saint saens, weber, liszt. the essay was mendelssohn, or violin concertos. oops! can't remember mendelssohn's points but neither did i pay much attention to violin concertos in my study of bee. even if i did it's only one... supposed to compare two! okay... so just take the risk and do mendelssohn. making up non-existent points as i go along... crapping all the way knowing ms chew would probably not have to read more than two sentences to realise i know nothing about him.

brahms pc 2 was better than expected. considering that i had nothing related to it in my head minutes before the exam... it was quite a good attempt i think. at first qn 1 seemed easier cos it seems like u could just pick out features fromt the score and describe them. but when i flipped to the passage, realised that it's a hard passage to describe cos i haven't even given much thought to it. attempted qn 2... form of 1st mvt can't be that bad... or so i hoped. wrote the longest essay i've ever written during common tests or promos. whatever... hoping that at least half of the claims i made are relevant. hahaha

listening extract was quite a relief when i first heard it. my favourite concerto! liszt... so romantic. the hard part is to describe in what ways it's considered romantic. ms chew is so good at predicting what we can't answer well. plus... the tonality, cadence and harmonic relation qns were killer. other than all those (which should amount to abt half the section), the rest should be quite okay. i hope! =)
