Officially dead. I have a gut feeling that I failed again. I was so unbelievably nervous, though less so than the first time. The examiner was this massive German (I think) guy. Seemed quite friendly, but, as I told my piano teacher, that's not an accurate measure of how strict his marking is.
As I played my recital, I, like, screwed up A LOT. Last time, I actually got stuck and forgot a part and ended up just sitting dumbly for a few seconds before continuing; this time, I didn't have any one incident like that, but I can't help but feel that my screw-ups this time add up to more. As I made more mistakes, I got more and more nervous, and that in turn caused me to make more mistakes, and so on and so on...
I do believe, however, that i was far more well-versed with the technical side of the pieces this time. (Technique is where I historically suck...) Hopefully that's enough.
UPDATE Jan 18, 2011: I passed! Yay for me!
