"It didn't turn out as bad as I thought" - Domy

The first words spoken after the LPG 2006 concert. Perhaps in an attempt to say something intelligent, that was what he could come up with. What a wet blanket.

The concert turned out alright to me. With so many juniors participating inside, it was a pleasant surprise to have various groups presenting different genres of music. Pan Yu's group sounded well rehearsed with a balanced sound and relatively good tone. Priscilla and Marie's duet was impressed me. They managed to condense the Little Fugue into a duo version; Priscilla played confidently and Marie was following well too, with some occurrences of wrong notes here and there. JingTing's group played Capriccio Catalan, sounded a little bit chopped up, didn't flow very well, but nontheless plodded along and went through. The last group is a myth to me, none of them exists in the database of members' names I know. Carcassi piece, "Petite Romanze" or the other way round, played rather nicely except for some tuning problems.

Well, of course things wouldn't just end so smoothly with Domy around. He immediately transformed the session into a masterclass(He has a thing for masterclasses, perhaps he really yearns to feel like a master of some sort). One of the comments he made was that the groups could have their tone improved! If you've heard him on the Alto Solo for the Handel Concerto, you probably wouldn't think he had any right to comment about anyone's tone! It was unprecedentedly harsh and raw! I decided at that point that going to my granny's place early for the family gathering would be a better idea than to hear his nonsense, so I left.
