Franz Schubert - Serenade, C. Velasquez - Besame Mucho [public performance]

This is my Performance #2 at the Portland Guitar Society, there were about 25 people, and I was the first performer again. I played:
- Franz Schubert - Serenade (arr. J K Mertz)
- Consuelo Velasquez - Besame Mucho (arr. A Nosov)

It went okay, but I still felt pretty nervous and it affected my playing. The most embarrassing part is at 2:02 - 2:08, I started jittering, and someone even chuckled a bit. It never happened during my practice sessions. It was probably due to an uncomfortable guitar position, it was too high and not very natural for my right hand. There were other flubs but not too bad. To be honest, I performed worse than expected. I was very confident that I could play Besame Mucho flawlessly, but that didn't happen. For some reason I felt even more nervous than when playing the first piece.

Fun fact: at 4:05 a cellphone started ringing, but it did not distract me at all.

In the end at least 2 people complimented my playing.

I document my public performance journey at the Classical Guitar Delcamp forum: https://classicalguitardelcamp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1632252&sid=dbdbb6f7c491fad8e66a77d0940e6bda#p1632252
