The thought of next month's piano exam sends chills down my spine. This will be my last practical exam IF I manage to pass it, IF I decide not to move on to a diploma.
For now, I MUST stop playing external pieces!! I MUST practice my scales diligently EVERY day until 4 March! I MUST keep practicing for my aural! I MUST practice the 3 pieces (Scarlatti's Sonata in A minor, Kp 175; Clementi's Allegro con spirito: first movement from Sonata in G mionr, Op 7 No. 3; Martinu's The Puppets' Dance) till they sound perfect when it comes to accuracy of notes, dynamics, expressions, pedaling, accents/slurs/phrasing, and interpretation of the pieces!
Darn it.. Joyce, STOP PLAYING EXTERNAL PIECES UNLESS YOU ARE PRACTICING YOUR SIGHT-READING SKILLS!!!!
