Eccosaise

My fingers dance over the keys, slowing just a little at the right spots and accenting the odd note. Fast, lively music flows from the piano and I think I may have the piece just like Beethoven wanted it. Soon I'll be playing it for the recital, and I have it memorized. That's no problem. I just want to make sure I have the stylistic techniques right.

So I drop my hand just so into the accents and lift at the ends of phrases. Soon it's even sounding better than before. And now I see how much better it was than before. The joy of getting it right. I smile at my teacher's praise as she tells me what a good job I did, and listen when she comments on how to make it better. I'll work on that part a little extra when I practice.

I love playing the piano.

Making music is wonderful.

      yeah, Bach is really great also. And I know, but I'm sort of prejudiced toward Beethoven, because the first piano piece I ever played for people to listen to was an arrangement of the theme of the 9th Symphony, and my teacher gave me a book about Beethoven, and he's been my favorite composer ever since. =D
