This one finishes out the 3rd volume of Thurston, with an etude based on a really cool piece: Shostakovitch's "Polka" from his ballet "The Golden Age."
The piece is a quirky humorous one, designed to make fun of a polka as much as to be an example of one. I've never performed the piece with orchestra, but I have recorded an arrangement for woodwind quintet, which you can listen to here.

About the etude project:
I've been challenging myself to practice a different etude every day and prepare it to the best of my ability in one day. This has been very helpful, but I wanted to add an additional element of pressure/nervousness. So I started recording them to post here.
It's not a real performance- I usually AM playing with a metronome, and I usually record these in a couple of takes and put them together later. I'll try to do them in a single take when possible, but usually I'll break them up.
