On this date, I discussed with my supervisor about my first piece in the parts which he is concerned about. After a few modifications, my first sonatina is totally complete! I was supposed to meet my supervisor on last Tuesday but I could not make it, so it was postponed until today. My supervisor said to me that I am behind schedule and I was quite 'shocked' to hear it. Well actually it was true that I was behind schedule in my timeline so he told me that I have to make up the time. Before, I knew that the quantity of the pieces that I planned to make were too much because I also had school work, projects to do and it takes quite a lot of time so I reduced it into 2 or 3, but now I changed my mind again into 1 sonatina consisting of 3 parts.

On this date, I wanted to discuss with my supervisor about the progress of my personal project but I could not make it because the meeting time with my supervisor was at 12:45 PM, but since I have an SAT prep class at 1, I could not make the meeting with my supervisor, so instead I emailed my supervisor, attached are my progress and this blog website so that my teacher can evaluate my progress and give feedback on it. Soon after that, my supervisor provided feedback for my first piece and he said: "Not bad Tristan.. I think there is the 'Kuhlau' spirit in your sonata.. :) Will talk to you later personally about bar 62 - 69 ..on Monday or Tuesday". So next time I will discuss about bar 62-69 of my piece that my supervisor is concerned about.
