A very fast and dirty update -
I got my things form UPS, a large amount of which were broken, but thankfully nothing extremely expensive and yes, I did insure them.
School is awesome. Studying with Ken has been great so far, and my playing has gotten exponentially better. I seem to have finally cracked the altissimo problem, and I'm getting up to a D#4 now. I'm making really good progress on the Concertino, and I am starting a new Sonata this week. I also have a very cool duo with violin this semester, and some sax quartet and sax orchestra work. We're working on Lauba's Les 7 Iles, which is very very hard, so I'm understudying on it, but we will be rehearsing and performing it for Jean-Marie Londeix in only about 10 days. Never did I imagine I'd be rehearsing with Londeix less than a month after moving here.
Still no internet, TV, or phone service, so I am kind of incommunicado for the time being, but I will post when I have new info. Also, cartoon:
It's cold here. And really, I mean that. I have been here since the morning of the 24th and it has not once been above 70 degrees, which frightens me. I've lived in cold climes before, Chicago being extremely cold, but not the same kind of cold. In Chicago the wind blows 35 miles per hour all winter long and it's as dry as a desert. It also doesn't come down from the 80s until the end of September. Obviously being at a more northern latitude and right next to the ocean in this city is going to change the dynamic a bit. If it's 65 degrees on August 27th, I am slightly concerned about what it will be like on Halloween.
