PIANO!

I've done a lot of piano events in this school year of 2013, although some might scoff at it, but it was A LOT to me. First I had my theory test for Level 3, which was rather easy but still counts. Also, I played 2 duets this year with my friends who will remain nameless. One was "I Love a Piano" which was a jazzy song that involved switching places, which was rather fun. I earned a 3rd place at the duet piano competition for that piece. The other was simply named "Waltz" which was a simple but elegant piece that I can proudly say, earned me first place at the duet piano competition. These events happened in March.

In May, I played at the solo competition and the Guild test. For the solo competition one of my songs was a 8-page long sonata which I got cut off in the middle for. The other was a 2-page nocturne by John Field that I still got cut off for, because we were in a time limit. I felt cheated :P...the Guild test was...interesting. This year I was playing a special Sonatina medal and I played 14 sonatinas, which wasn't terrible because most of them were very easy, but I still had to memorize those 14 pieces.

In 2014 I'll do more, cause I'll enter 2 levels of theory and play a judged recital, but it'll be more planned and stretched. For my solo competition I'll be playing another John Field nocturne, and a Mozart piece that sounds rather graceful to me. For the duet competition I know that one song will be the Miniature Overture of the Nutcracker, which is not one of the most commonly known songs from Nutcracker, which might be interesting...tune in for more! Sometime...
