Our future

May Li played a Wednesday lunchtime concert in the midst of the Eisteddfod being held at Wesley.  Given her history with the Eisteddfod, as well as her other recognitions (AmusA no less) I guess she felt quite comfortable.  It at this sort of age many of us have played Chopin waltzes, although my skills were nothing like this.  Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Miriam Hyde, a very different style from the others which were different enough in themselves, and all played from memory, capably, quickly.  These were not trivial pieces.  A Bach prelude and fugue with that glory that is a Bach fugue, a Mozart sonata and that Chopin waltz and the Miriam Hyde which was far more impressionistic, all rising and falling passages, busy in notes and dynamics, imaging Brownhill Creek in Spring.  May is still at school but playing with considerable maturity.  We can be happy that such musicians exist around us in Canberra, and let's hope it stays that way.
