I bought a piano last weekend and it was delivered this morning! I haven't had a piano since I left home 12 years ago, but now I'm finally at a point where I have the space and can afford to buy one. Actually, I can't afford to buy a whole one - luckily my birthday and Christmas are both coming up so Rob has given me some money for both occasions to to cover part of the cost. I don't have any sheet music here and I can't remember much off by heart of what I used to be able to play (but even with the music in front of me I'll have trouble playing the things I used to play), but Mum has taken a bunch of music to Jen's today, and Jen's coming down for the night on Tuesday, so I'll have something to play from soon enough. I'm looking forward to re-learning all the stuff I could play when I was 16...UPDATE SUNDAY 18:00: I've downloaded and printed out a free copy of the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and have re-taught myself to play it. So far so good...
Looks lovely Sal, and sounds good too. You're not allowed to spend all Tuesday night playing though you have to talk to me for a bit as well. Have you picked the leaf up from the floor?
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful Sally! All shiny and ready to be played!
ReplyDeleteBTW there's a leaf that needs picking up from the floor ;-)
I wasn't going to mention the leaf, you'll be surprised to know, mainly because Jen saw it first. Perhaps you could airbrush it out...
ReplyDeleteHow's the practising going, now that you have 2 bags full of music to choose from? Recital at Christmas? Perhaps I'll get our piano tuned, ready for you!
