Thoughts:
Played the repertoire for my aunt today without planning. I consider her an experienced listener (she likes classical music) and therefore I was worried. It was really hard for me to get into the zone of thinking about the artistic qualities of the piece. Mostly, I fretted about not making a mistake. She listened intently and said she enjoyed the pieces. Her major feedback was that for both pieces, my erratic rhythm interferes with the flow of the compositions. Also, she thought that Estrellita was technically challenging.
