SP: Chopin's Nocturne
Free: Rochmaninov's Piano Concerto #2
EX: Chaplin 'Smile'
Mao says she will skate her new program(s?) at her upcoming ice show 'The Ice'.
Idk which one out of 21 Chopin's Nucturnes Mao will skate to. While I love her SP to #2, Op9-2 in the 06-07 season so much, I hope it's going to be a different version. :yes:
As for her Free...have a mixed feeling, though...it's a great music, but would have been more appreicated by me probably if she would pick up more original music for her (ssemingly last) Olympic season.
Anyway, best of luck to Mao! :yay:
Yeah, I agree with Cherryy: skaters announce their programs much earlier than other Olympic seasons.
Mao's 2007 SP was her best, but trying to use it again under this set of rules won't be as magical. The footwork sequence, which was so light and wonderfully timed to the music back then, is going to have to be changed into a never-ending monstrosity to make sure she gets Level 4 of it. Her beautiful spiral sequence won't be in the new program either, since it's not a graded element anymore and nobody wants to put in the effort to do a proper full-rink spiral.
I half expect Mao to choose Rach music, most likely Piano Concerto No. 2.
Something new, please... or at least something that hasn't been seen in a while.
Bond girl, Ave Maria, Firebird, Rach II, Swan Lake, Gershwin's "American Airlines Suite"... please, please, NO.
And I'd take Guns 'n Roses before I'd watch another Carmen program.
Has anyone of note skated to Bach since K/P? Or to Mendelssohn since Lu Chin? I can't recall.
