bwf8398 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I just got done with my IB music solo performance on flute and there were a few issues. 1. In one of my pieces with piano accompaniment, my pianist missed a page turn in the first movement and so I had to play the last minute and a half or so of the movement without accompaniment, even though it was supposed to be accompanied. There were no spots in there where I had rests, in case that matters, so I was playing the whole time. 2. As a result, I had a false start of the second movement because he wasn't ready with his accompaniment and played probably 4 notes before stopping myself and starting for real with my accompanist. 3. My whole recital ended up being 23 minutes, over the recommended 20 minute mark. My questions are these: should I check with my music teacher to find out if I'm able to redo the recital? It wasn't my fault that my accompanist had a glitch. Would IB dock points off my performance grade for that? Also, is the 20 minute thing a minimum and it's okay that I went over, or is it a case where IB stops listening after the 20 minute mark?

Katethegreat Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 The accompanist's mistakes shouldn't affect your mark whatsoever as you're being graded on you! And don't worry about the 23 minutes, you're allowed a certain percentage of time above or below the recommended 20 and I'm pretty sure that that's totally fine The IB won't stop listening after the 20 minute mark as it's not a cut off point- good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
