It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Thanks SwissMs, it was great --- I should post a few pics of where we were - it was just beautiful.
I had the satisfaction of playing all my current pieces today and finding that the two that I had done the most studied/focused practice on were (SURPRISE) the ones that were still flowing easily under my fingers!

My AOTW is learning to use iMovie (I know, I am a dinosaur) for my Grieg videos. It was fun! I have been frustrated by how to even get started with it. I am new to the Mac, having always had either Linux or Windows before. iMovie seems to assume you already know how to use it, and I had a hard time finding the beginning of the thread, so to speak. So far, I am just doing baby steps, like adding lead ins, fades, and trimming the ends, but I am enjoying experimenting with it!
My condolences, CarlosCC. It's such a discombobulating time. I'm glad you're playing piano again - knowing how much the piano means to you I hope it brings much peace.

Sorry to hear that, Carlos, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I hope your piano can give you some solace, and you know you are among friends here.
My heartfelt condolences Carlos. This is truly a difficult loss to suffer. May your heart be soothed with your music, the beautiful memories you have of your mother and the love and support of your family.

please accept my condolences Carlos I hope you can find some consolation in your music. Losing a loved one is always difficult but the bond between a mother and son can be a very special one. I lost my mother eighteen months ago and life has never been quite the same. Cherish the good memories.
CarlosCC, my thoughts are with you and your family. I remember you making a CD of music for your mom. For me, making music is and has been a way for me to process difficult life events.
CasinItaly, welcome back. Time away from computers (and pianos even) is often a good thing.
Hello everybody, I made an abysmal recording with a lot of wrong notes, flailing tempo and a ton of other mistakes of Beethoven's Op.27 No.2 Adagio Sostenuto but it was the best I could muster. So here it is ; https://soundcloud.com/pizhama/beethoven-c-sharp-minor-piano . I'm hoping that I get an opinion if there are any aspects of the performance that I did semi-well. I'm from Sofia, Bulgaria and have played the piano for a little less than 2 years. Thanks for listening =]
