I LOVE playing the piano. I like to sit down and just play, sight reading like a madman for hours at a time. But the other day, I pulled out my old ripped up Rachmaninoff book, and realized, wow...this is really hard. Because of all my school work, I don't have lots of time at home to learn it, so I was really excited when we got the 20-time project.
I've always wanted to learn the "libeslied" (love's sorrow), but it's really hard, and has a really confusing melody, and I've never really sat down to study it. But now I'm going to!
This is the place where I'll be recording my journey from terrible scratchy sounds, to slightly less terrible notes! I'm not sure yet how I'll keep track of my progress. Words are nice, but maybe weekly recordings would be better. Hmm...now the only problem is finding a nice piano....

  1. YES! Please post weekly recordings! That would be awesome! I've never heard you play, which is a travesty. I hear you're amazing. Look forward to hearing the progress!
