you lost me..

It hasn't been a good weekend.
This song tided me over through everything, tears and all.
Though it's fine now, I still don't see the clear sky I wanna see...

Every time it happens... baby, you lose a part of me.

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. :)

"listen, and feel," she used to say.

a very inspirational talk about music. he makes it easy for the layman to understand classical stuff. the way he explains how we can understand a piece of music subconsciously using emotions sounds a bit like my last piano teacher. :)
