freedom!!!!!
AT LAST!!!! GUESS WHAT!
i've finished my recording and burned it into a DVD. for a realll PC nut like me, burning the DVD is a great accomplishment. but..ahem..i did not do it la. Jerry and Justea burned it for me.hahahhaa..i jus stood and watch and scream only. whew.. at last.. AT LAST... i felt like giving up soo many times u know? uncountable... lets see...i felt like giving up when..
1. be4 my recording when i was practicing on my etude.
2. memorizing Bach's Fugue.
3. recording Chopin's scherzo. recording halfway. HALFWAY throughout the song,i felt like throwing up . i felt like gving up. but i still continued.
4. recording beethoven's piano sonata. esp the first movement, i can die man..seriously..
Aaron..u shud seriously listen to my recordings..maybe i'll post it up here one day, when i'm free.. i'm actually quite disappointed lo.. haih..why can i play more fluently?let me explain...
1. Chopin's etude : my gosh..every 1 min, there's a mistake. can u believe it, i managed to learn, practice and memorize in 3 days time? hahha..geng ler...
2. bach's prelude and fugue no.2 : u know wat...i learn, practice and memorized in 4 days time. speed learning. hahhahha..i shud study speed learning in music, and not music performance.
3. Beethoven's piano sonata no.8 ( pathetique) : this is..really..torture..........seriously..my gosh..i'll not touch another piano sonata for 3 months. nvr. yux.
4. Chopin's scherzo no.2 : mmm..this is nice.but...it's torturing too.. it's hard. so,during my recording, as i proceed more and more towards to end, i cant afford to make a mistake or else i hv to redo it again. i was so stressed and scared. my fingers and keyboards are all wet like anything. it's like..put soap on the piano keys..or..ice skating on the piano keys. seriously sin ku..but it's a very nice piece. i've always love Chopin.
5. Clair de lune by Debussy : i hv no comment on this la..i enjoy playing it.
after this few days of hard work, i really felt that..music is not easy at all as i've imagined. it's really hard work, continuous hard work and continuous pressure esp performance lo...u cant afford to make a mistake up there on the stage. it's no longer the sec skol performance or some dinner performance where ppl dun really care wat u play. now, it's different. Phd holders, experienced performers, medias will all be criticising u if u dun play well..and, everyday practice doesn't promise u a flawless music. haihh... i tink..the pressure is even greater than being an engineer.... at least, during exam, i still can cancel or rub off my mistake. but, a performer, can nvr erase the mistake one make on the stage..unless there's a time machine where u can return few secs ago and play it again...
i really must have a good night's sleep man....everyday, i practice from 9am sharp til 1am with few hours break in between for my meals. AND..there's no last min in music..like wat i did. the consequences were..practicing from morning til another morning, but still cant play perfectly. music requires time.. not like studying. today study, tomoro exam.haih..i must really think twice. shud i really go for music.
now, i'd like to thank my dear friends greatly.
JERRY JANET JUSTEA and last but not least... MENG JIN
