Ciao Fever and Piano
Today I'm going to skip all the serious stuff and go onto the fun why?? Because today my blog is going to act as we a distraction from everything.
First of Xinyi asked about what pieces I'm going to play. =D I'll tell you what songs and then I'll give an update on how I'm doing on them. One piano player to another,
List A- Sonata in F by Casanovas
I like this song quite a bit. =D It's fast, short, and easy to learn. In truth it's my "saver piece". That one song there is no way your not going to be able to learn well enough and get fast enough!
Right now I can already play it at the right temp but... sometimes the last lines of the song have little finger slips. =.=
List B- Prelude in C sharp minor by S. Heller
Currently I'm in love with this song =.= I was actually not going to choose it because its quite difficult and I was worried I wouldn't be able to pick it... but then I liked it so much I decided to learn it my self... one thing lead to another and I practiced so much that I picked up the first 1 and a half pages in only a few days ( an amazing achievement for me) so my teacher ( who I think was a bit shocked) said =D Go ahead and pick this one! Its more exciting then the other. S0 true.... alright anyways. I've only been learning this one for... a week now but I have the first page and a half down at the right tempo and am working on getting the rest of the second page up to speed. =D Driving everyone crazy with this song I think.
List C- Valse: No. 6 by Prokofiev
Alright obviously this one is walts. -.- It's also not in the little book ABRSM sells called "Selected Piano Exam Pieces". Most people just pick from said little book but... =.= I don't like any of the other List C songs.. I thought I liked Rumba Toccata a while back but... after a while you realize its actually 1. easy and 2. a bit boring. So what I did instead was pick a song from the alternative pieces list that ABRSM offers. Thats right there are actually 6 song choices per list. I haven't gotten the sheet music for this one yet but it sounds like fun =D It's not overly fast (The slowest of my pieces) but its a bit jumpy which might be problematic. Hoping to go out and buy the sheet music for it today! Yay!
Ciao Fever is catching on with a vengeance. o_o I want to be original so..... Au Revoir (Goodbye for now)!!
