I'm a (duel) loser :)
on: November 01, 2007, 11:42:51 PM
edd, shame on me... I tried hard with 25-11, but it took me much longer than expected -- Actually, I'm never on time with anything... and never learn from it  :)

Well, I know how little fun it is to drop out of a bet... Whenever I get asked by friends to eat something ultra-spicy, I do it -- provided they promise to try as well. What usually happens when I've done my part, hardly able to breathe afterwards, I have to hear that this guy next to me is not going to do anything...  >:(

So what could I do to excuse a bit for running away from the duel? ???  I'm dabbling with several of the etudes at the moment, so I thought to simply post a "wrong" piece... maybe better than nothing at all. Op.10/1, although still very much work-in-progress might be the least embarrassing one. But well, my faces and gestures contribute enough to that aspect (first video!).



Ok, whatever. edd, it was still fun to try to prepare for the duel. I tried but I failed! But of course I continue to enjoy, struggle and suffer with Chopin!!!  ;)
