This week has been crazy practising!
I have practised and can play quite confidently "Down in the Valley". I think I like broken chords better - you play the individual notes of the chord, rather than doing 1+2 - if yuou know what I mean. The 2nd piece "The Morning has Broken" took me some time to familiarise but I think I can manage it.
Last night, I played Sonata Pathetique by Ludwig Beethovan. It's actually not the real deal, but a adapted "easy" piece. I actually played it some time back, but slacked and now have forgotten most of it. Luckily, after a few rounds of trying, my fingers "remembered" it!
Then I tried playing ONLY the bass part - it was so beautiful! The low notes just reverberated through me and I could "feel" the music! I guess my music managed to lure L out of his "hermit crab shell" - the study (he is busy mugging through his Masters material)! He came out with his violin and asked to join in. Usually, I would scrowl at him and give him my "Queen Bee Sting-er" look ("Buzz off, you drone! Can't you see I am indulging in my music?"). But the music sort of softened me quite a bit and I said, "Why not?". He actually played not bad (for a beginner!) and we played the first part of the piece together. We had a fun time together!
