I FREAKING FINISHED IT!!!!
on: July 21, 2014, 05:30:08 AM
I finished learning all of Gaspard de la nuit today!!!!

Holy sh*t!!!!!!!

I played through the scarbo today, and I closed the book and stared at it for like five or six minutes cause I was in shock.  I probably looked like a freaking idiot cause there were people waiting to use the practice room lol.

But holy sh*t dude.  I've had my eye on that piece since before I started even playing piano man!  Dude I made it to the other freaking side!!!!  I can't believe this sh*t man!!!

But I still got a lot of polishing work to do lol

And I'm doing the ondine in a masterclass tomorrow!!!

Just thought I should give you guys an update that's all.

WELL... I can play it at a recognizable tempo that's what I meant by finished.

Cool, though I think he's happier if you don't leave off the -Anton bit.
