UpFundMe | Organ recital travel expenses #2
Last year's performance at Bowral, NSW
This is my second (of three) @upfundme posts to assist with my travel expenses at an upcoming organ recital I'm giving in Bowral, NSW, on October 20. You can read the first post here (post payout currently $3.06 in three days).
Here is a rough breakdown of my travel expenses:

I plan to make three posts for this #upfundme and will be setting 100% beneficiary to @likwid. This is so the STEEM can be converted quickly to fiat for the purposes of assisting with my travel costs. @likwid will comment on this post at payout so we can all keep track of how much was contributed. Of course, I will be posting updates on my recital preparation and the recital itself in due course!

Mulet is not easy to play, my compliments!
I tried the Toccata (Tu es Petra) once. Too difficult then. But I've become a lot better since then, so I'm going to try it again.
Thanks. This was a live performance. Few slips here and there but I was happy with the entire recital overall. This piece really needs a lively acoustic which this church doesn’t have.

You're right to be happy with the result. Ir's a live performance in a dry acoustic. I think you did very well.
This kind of composition was written for tha large French cathedrals. And they sound best in that kind of acoustical environment. And not because it is a little more ofrgiving for playing mistakes. It adds a layer of tonal quality that just lacks in these dry churches. I thought dry acoustics was an American characteristic, but obviously an Australian characteristic as well.
