It's because I want to meet with that pianist, who inspired me to learn piano... I don't know who is it... But I will meet again with him if I play piano..
I asked my mum for a piano for my 7th birthday. She made me learn it!
My parents originally forced me to do it to help with my nervous problem and for an extra-curricular activity.
"nervous problem"? As in like...Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour or something similar?G.W.K
No as in a problem with my nervous system that causes my hands to twitch uncontrollably. NO it is not juvenile PA!
Juvenile Personal Assistants? Never mind, we are digressing from the original discussion.G.W.K
I got depressed in university, so my friend suggested I take guitar lessons and go to a psychiatrist. Studying music was the best decision I ever made. Seeing a psychiatrist was the worst.
I used to have to go to psychiatrist as a kid. For years and years I went, but stopped when I was about 15. I never knew why I had to go and I never knew why it stopped. I guess he just got sick of me, God it was funny. I guess I was very quiet in those days. But anyway, now many years later, I thought about seeing one again (trying to figure out the meaning of life etc). But thankfully, it only ended up just as a thought.
So instead what I did was, I went to the library to try to find a very difficult piece of music (for me anyway) for piano. For the record, I found Rapsodia Espanola Op.70 by Albeniz. And guess what, I copied it, took it home to have a look at it, saved myself a hundred bucks and was cured. You don’t realize how minor your problems are, they are really nothing, as compared as to all the music you need to learn before you… you….. you know.The copies were 20c a page, so that was a bit ‘how’s your father’.
I was in second grade when I was first "diagnosed" to be lopsided. I was as good at English and Math as a fifth grader, but my motor skills were below standard. It's silly, it was in everyone's face I was not normal, but all that they did for me was transfer me to a Catholic school and life went rolling by without any special help for a decade.I realize that whenever I see my uncle's Beethoven Sonata book (Schnabel edition, volume 2). He probably died trying out the Hammeklavier , there were bar numbers all over, but no comments like in Op. 110 and 111. But he was a sort of a genius, not a lopsided individual like me. The fact that I have bad coordination should be enough to make me stay away from music study.We're not obliged to study music, you know... lots of people do that...
Your uncle sounds like he must have been a good player, did you know him ?What do you mean you are not obliged to study music ?
