Congratulations to my pupil!

Sincere congratulations to my pupil Abhinav Tivari on gaining Distinction (92 out of 100 marks) in his LTCL Diploma recital! Abhinav played Beethoven Pathetique Sonata, Chopin Fantaisie Impromptu, Faure Barcarolle in A minor, Rachmaninov Polichinelle and Scarlatti sonata in B minor. Great job, forwards and upwards! Next stop, Rachmaninoff 2nd concerto with orchestra next year.
