Just performed at my final studio recital! I missed many notes and had a pretty bad memory slip, but I made it out alive.

I had a bit of nerves which made me rush like 15 BPM faster than I've been practicing this piece at. Made a mistake, then while I was thinking about that mistake I was distracted and so I made another mistake, several more times until I got totally lost at the recapitulation and had to clumsily find my way back.

Oh well! It sucks but I don't think that ruined the whole performance so I'm not heartbroken. I literally had the Beethoven quote pop into my head as I was brashly hitting wrong notes "to play a wrong note is insignificant but to play without passion is inexcusable" which was rather apropos for playing a Beethoven sonata haha.
