Thus, the most challenging part of the recital was to ignore a little Asian girl, that was sitting in the front row with her mother and started talking aloud at about some place in the middle of every song. I had to concentrate so hard to not get distracted too much by that. (Valeska told me, that she had asked the girl later, if she'd liked the concert and said, she had just shaken her head!)
Anyway, the other (but smaller) challenge, was to spontaneously talk about the things we were performing - in English for the 1st time! Well, it was my fault of course, that I just wrote "spontaneously", because my organized self (that is mostly hopelessly overpowered by it's horribly unorganized twin) could have prepared that well in advance. But that never happened and so something spontaneous full of "uhm's" and "ah's" came out - but I didn't cut it from the video-excerpt because I thought, maybe it's interesting for you because so you have more information about the things I'm singing there; and - more important - I spares me the trouble of writing much more here :)
