If only my piano teacher showed me this video back when I started the piano lessons… I might never have given up and continued to practice despite all odds…
The internet is truly a wonderful blessings… I’ve learned so much from it! I don’t think my life would be the same ever without the internet…
After one whole year of Pathetique Sonata in 2009… I finally can play one third of this piano piece from memory…
But now, I am thinking of another piano piece for 2010… the Moonlight Sonata also by Beethoven (4 page long!).
Always loved the Moonlight… right from the start with C# and the mesmerizing repetitive G# C# E… then to B… then to A#l F# then back to low G#… as if there were this dark black cloud moving over slowly to cover the Moon… so the base representing the Moon went deeper and deeper and deeper… … …
The beauty of the music is beyond what my command of the English language to describe… I can only say… I so love Beethoven’s sadness!
PS: the pieces I am playing are the simplified version from Amsco’s Piano Pieces fro Adult Beginners.
