-272-Class 403 Dylan%u3000%u3000I have a dream. I dream that I am a famous musician. I travel from city to city. All because of my cello. I know many different important people from many different countries. Before every concert I have to practice hard and long. During the concerts, I am confident and energetic. I always do my best on concert days. %u3000%u3000I sometimes play with an orchestra, sometimes with just a piano, and sometimes I am alone doing a solo. %u3000%u3000The music genre is from Bach to contemporary music. I remember having a very vivid experience where I played a very long solo piece for over 40 minutes without interruption. The hardest point was playing without a score, it was a perfect presentation. And it was the best concert of my life. I am proud of that. %u3000%u3000On the stage, I am always smiling to the audience, but I am nervous inside. I know that it is important for me to work hard for my music life. I spend six hours a day to prepare the repertoire, when other people go shopping, go to picnics, I have to stay home alone. I feel solitary, but I know that%u2019s the way to make me stronger. %u3000%u3000Traveling with my cello has its own difficulties and it is expensive. On air flights I have to buy two seats, one for me and one for my cello. The cello for me is a sweet burden. My Dream
