Woo! I just came off the piano - 40 mins on the Beethoven piece (which isn't that hard to do considering it's so big) - and I'm all pumped up :D
I'd forgotten how exhilarating Beethoven is! Although, that piece should come with a warning, I totally crumpled my left ring finger - OUCH! Heheheh that never would've happened once upon a time, a good reminder not to get too far ahead of myself just yet.
So I've a feeling the clip of the Beethoven piece (when I eventually get around to it) will be pretty full of trip ups and slips, especially as it's so long - more chance for errors. But that's ok, and I think with Beethoven you can get away with it a bit better cos its all crashing and thumping and whatnot (well the way I play it it is -hahahahahah maybe I should take note!!)
I am writing this from my iPad and though this is a most painful device for typing on (imagina using a touch phone that your finger can't reach all the buttons on) I can imagine that it would be wonderful for the likes of you...perhaps you should co me to my house to try it out...
ReplyDeleteAnyway very much looking forward to hearing some Beethoven when you eventually get some time to upload a clip. I think Debussy is okay, but it's so melancholy. I want banging and crashing of keys!!!
