I have an urge to start studying piano again. I used to hate learning finger exercises such as Czerny. As we all know, basics are important in whatever you do, once you achieve mastery of your basics, you cement a firm and strong foundation for whatever you are doing. My piano interest was simple. Very simple indeed. It all began with Fantasie (Fantasy?) Impromptu composed by Fredryk Chopin, introduced to me by a certain Benjamin Kirk (one of my most influential friends during my younger days). Never have I heard a melody so beautiful and so mesmerizing. Never have I thought a piece like that existed, neither did I expect the technicalities it seeked. I feel out of touch with my past, i want to enjoy making music once again. I want my old life back. A life that was happy and carefree. I miss many of my friends, some of which I may never see again. Our lives are determined by our interests, the type of friends we make, how people see us and our attitude to life. As we grow older, we lose many of these things, but fortunately we gain new ones. I think its all a matter of letting go of our past... Savant at 2/29/2004 10:37:00 am ;
