    Troika from Lt. Kije Suite- I love the boldness and then the change to more of a lighter, almost Christmas-y feel to it... sleigh bells sound:)
    Scythian Suite- This music has an Arabian (Like Aladdin) sound. I love it! It was very different and odd sounding. It had instruments that sounded very different.
    Piano Concerto no. 3- I love how sweetly it started and all the adding in of instruments. The bold entrance of the piano! She was so light on her fingers. It was beautiful. Encourages to practice your scales:) And she had so much expression in her face and in her playing.
