elusivekBeethoven's Pathetique 2nd Movement
Pachelbel's Canon
Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu
Bach's Prelude & Fugue No.2 in C minor
Of course, I could play none.
The only piece I could play with any possibility of being recognized is Beethoven's Fur Elise, and even that isn't completely right (I'm sure I miss certain parts that is to be repeated.)
Coz, well, I can't read score. I don't play by the ear. I more or less... play by memory. Try to decipher the notes section by section. Trial play (without any rhythm and beat whatsoever). See someone play enough times, copy their rhythm, try to play like them. And eventually, I can play the piece.
I noticed that when I took that piano course 2 months ago. They quit having the adult piano courses, so I have been trying to play the rest of the book myself. And I noticed my learning pattern. So, now youtube is my friend. I search for people learning from the same books, see them play, then I try to copy their play.
Not really the best way to learn, but, heh, I don't aspire to be a pianist. I'm just playing to kill some time. I think I'm ready to move on to the next level of books, so... I should pass by the piano school sometime next week to buy the grade 2 books.
It's raining today, so I have quite some time today to be fooling around with the piano, heeheehee! Mom seems to be quite appeased that I'm mucking around on the thing. Maybe I'll make a video of my shoddy Fur Elise, mwahaha. Or maybe not.
