Living in Denmark

decided not to take my grade eight practical exam at all.cuz i dun have the time at all to practice. Looking at how demotivated i’m whenever i have to practice and also the pathetic amount of time i am willing to fork out for piano, i decided not to waste money and the risk.

well i’m not musically incline to start off with. initially, i learnt piano because my mum wanted me to learn it. She says that it is a good source of income in the future if there’s a need for me to stay at home. well maybe, but maybe not.tuition can be an alternative too.
But now, i started to have a slight liking for it. Watching videos of how people are able to play the wonderful pieces, i feel inspired. BUT i dont think i have that BURNING passion that some pianist possess that allows them to sit in front of the piano for 5-6hrs a day to practice their one song. HAHAHS i guess i learn for the pleasure and enjoyment of it 🙂

piano lessons seemed more interesting because i no longer have to play those pieces which are so technical and get to play more lovely pieces. have the sudden interest in classical music now. It’s really fascinating learning how music has evolved across the different periods and the stories behind the composition of each individual composer. SOME really famous and nice classical music that i really think they are AWESOME:

Beethoven –> Moonlight Sonanta, 1st Movement

The famous mysterious, almost haunting melody is dark and whisper like. The form of the first movement is a sort of “condensed” sonata. In other words, it plays the main melody, develops it, and then plays it again very similar to how it was originally played. Beethoven dedicated it to Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, a pupil of Beethoven. Shortly after their first few lessons, the two fell in love. After dedicating the Moonlight Sonata, it is believed that Beethoven proposed to her. Although she was willing to accept Beethoven’s proposal, forbiddance by one of her parents prevented her from marrying him.

Mozart –> Turkish March

Frederic Chopin –> Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2
