Trying times

Next year I want to play a wider range of harpsichord music at the historic building, rather than restricting myself to the Elizabethan stuff I currently play. In the meanwhile my anxiety and depression levels have hit the roof, so I'm resorting to a decades-old coping mechanism to kill two birds with one stone; in short I'm learning new pieces. Yesterday teatime, despite how I felt, I learned three new Scarlatti sonatas (K208, K209 and K213). I want to start the new year with a good supply of Scarlatti, Soler and pieces by the French Clavecinistes.
