After such a difficult semester with her wrist tendonitis injury, and so many months of not being able to play cello, it was such a pleasure to see and hear Sylvia play in recital tonight!
Gram and Krampa were here too!
Dr. Ransom and her husband started the "Friends and Family" recital program off with a sweet and lovely duet of Smile by Charlie Chaplin.
Sylvia played the Allegro from Concerto in B-flat Major by L. Boccherini. It is an incredibly difficult piece, a lot of which is played in thumb position. Over-practicing this piece is how Sylvia developed tendonitis, and she was afraid she wouldn't get to perform it. When she was in occupational therapy, she wasn't allowed to play at all for a couple months, then it was very limited as she started to ease back into it. She has only had 2 lessons with Dr. Ransom since returning to playing, and Dr. Ransom has been so pleased with Sylvia's recovery and return to playing. It is an answer to so many prayers that Sylvia was able to perform at all, and even this piece, tonight!
So proud of our girl!!!
