Me and one of my pieces for this term. G. Goltermann, etude “Stormy Weather”, with accompaniment in infamous 50BPM which turned out to be 60 in reality (nvm.)
What I’m happy about: using more fingers & wrist instead of whole right arm while playing double semiquavers. Being in tune for the most part (and not messing up the final passage). Also, you can see me cheating and playing 8+4 notes instead of 12 on one bow, bc I can’t do that yet. Maybe in faster tempo (which will happen this week, since my accompanist said I’m wearing myself on this tempo.)

Little rant.
So the “Stormy Weather” is a ghost-piece, I swear. Last month my accompanist discovered he left all his sheet music in school, so I decided to search the Internet. IMSLP---nothing. Google---nothing. Turns out that out of whole Western world there are two French YT channels that acknowledge that Goltermann wrote this piece. I finally found two Russian books with various pieces with this etude listed (by the way, no one wrote exactly what opus is this, it’s always “Goltermann’s ‘Stormy Weather’” and that’s all) and one website where you could download sheet music for a few dollars. As for actually performing, it’s apparently popular in Russia and Poland (all those young competitions; see YT). That’s all. Anyway, my accompanist went to school to take all his music because he’s accompanying more people, but I spent too much time on the Internet and was really frustrated that I have no idea where to look at.

Does anyone know a good online video conventer? My computer has only these crazy 3D objects and changed the size of this video.
