charged in more ways than one.


Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (First Movement)

i really like the vigour in the third movement of the same sonata, but i can't imagine myself playing it. anyway, for the first time in my ten failed attempts of (the first movement of) Moonlight Sonata, today i finally managed to trawl (yes, it was terrible) through the entire song, without giving up at the third page as i usually do because of the constantly changing keys. i really hate the multiple accidentals in every bar, and it's already bad enough that the piece is in C# minor which already has five sharps to begin with. how can something so beautiful be so difficult to play (for me, that is)? grrr. BUT i want to master this song!

so yeah. even though the playing was full of pauses and wrong notes, i was still glad that i persevered through the four pages, and also inconceivably relieved when the piece was over (as were my parents who were almost on their way out to get earplugs). lol. :)
