well that's pretty obvious. it comes from totoro. TOTORO. i.e. in this picture, not the big one, but the medium sized blue one clinging to it. chu means medium. They're respectively called oo-totoro, chu-totoro, and chibi-totoro (big totoro, medium totoro, and small totoro). Yeah. xD

I also tag... anyone who hasn't done this yet. yeah.

!!!! Cello chamber assignment: Beethoven String Quartet Op.18 #1

They give it to me... the day I give my cello up to SJYS. So we searched online and found the sheet music, but all I can really do is stare at it. And listen to the recordings repeatedly until the music is imprinted into my brain. brain. braaaaaaaaaaain.

So, due to the Europe trip, I have a week (instead of 3) to get all of the following up to par when I get back.

Mozart piano quartet: read through most of it, having a lesson on it tmr. 55 pg score >< wish me luck
Beethoven string quartet: haven't started at all! ahahaha.
Bach Prelude/Fugue: oldie. 'sone of my repertoire pieces, kind of. not much to worry about.
Rachmaninoff: semi-decent shape. the agitato is HORRIBLE though. ><
Saint-Saens 2nd mvt: ehhhhh. haven't been practicing cello all that much ahaha. And I don't have a cello anymore, so I can't practice tmr. .___.
Bach Baroque Suite #1: um. decent. haven't really read the last mvts much. like I said, haven't done much cello practising.
Random piece: cello teacher says she'll give blank piece to me tmr to prep for Holland, so it can start out clean, w/o her feedback.
SHS aud. music!: haha I'm just bringing this for the heck of it. not a big deal. maybe I'll get good feedback and pzwn next year's auditions. :D

that is. a hecka lot of work for a week though.

so, I'm kind of screwed. hahaha. wish me luuuuuuck~ and I'll do my best. xD
