20211019_Beethoven attempt for Moonlight Sonata!

The same bouquet of flowers bought from Ikea now cost $25! Instead of previous $9.90! Was the previous an error in pricing or....LOL (Bought on 19/10/21 as a gift for SIL - No fresh flowers allowed...so fake ones!)


Humans tend to be lazy. Lack discipline hor?
2 days ago got a nudge email from my handsome teacher. 
Nudges are good. They push u to keep on keeping on. 
Well he simplified the Beethoven Moonlight Sonata!
I am not the Classical kind. Cannot read Bean sprouts. 
Aha. He made it sound so easy!

So here is an attempt ! WowBBBeethovennn!
His dark composition.


Reflections
My first attempt at classical piece actually. But only the first  8 bars . LOL
Thanks to my piano coach Zach.  Forced into trying to play it!
Well, kind of enjoyed it!

Some Facts about this Moonlight Sonata which I just learnt!

  • The first movement is a death scene
  • The music is DARK. Has a mesmerizing yet heartbroken mood
  • Has 3 movements - C#m / Dflat major and C#m
